American music authority Billboard has gathered everyone's attention onto 2NE1's second full-length release, "Crush".

On March 3, Billboard released an article on 2NE1's latest album, which read, "After spending 2013 experimenting with different images and sounds-from the sunny, reggae pop of 'Falling in Love' to the sparse, piano ballad 'Missing You'-2NE1's new album 'Crush' feels like a return to the group's roots."

Billboard also wrote, "The 10-track LP comes with hard-hitting, electro-pop/hip-hop tracks that recall some of 2NE1's past singles while refreshing the formula with new sounds and influences."

In addition, Billboard also did a thorough review of 2NE1's latest music videos, "Come Back Home" and "Happy". Billboard was nothing but raises for the group's high-budget productions.

In particular, Billboard put the spotlight on the rightfully deserving "Come Back Home" saying, "'Come Back Home' -- along with album standout 'MTBD,' a solo by 2NE1 leader CL -- feel like the type of tracks Rihanna or Nicki Minaj would make if they were a little more open minded to genre fusion."

Meanwhile, 2NE1 recently wrapped up their explosive concerts in Seoul on March 1 and 2. This week, the group is set to stage their comeback performance on SBS' "Inkigayo".
