[28] On December 4, shortly after leaving YG, she began releasing previously unreleased tracks for her digital solo EP project In the Name of Love for three consecutive weeks. [29] [30] On September 12, 2020, CL announced that she had been working on a new album that would be released later that year.

Artistry

CL has cited 1TYM leader Teddy Park, who produced much of 2NE1's music throughout their career, as a source of influence and inspiration. In addition, she has attributed Madonna, Queen, and Lauryn Hill as role models for their unique styles and influence as well as their levels of originality. [6] [47] [48] Her discography primarily consists of hip hop, dance, and electronic styles, as well as integrating a variety of other genres. Her debut solo single "The Baddest Female" in 2013 was characterized as "a clattering ego massage that channelled Atlanta hip-hop", [49] combining techno and dance elements with the catchphrase "Now do the unnie". [9] The track jumps from a hip-hop beat to an electronica-infused build-up to the dubstep breakdown during the bridge. [50] Her next solo track, "MTBD", was included as part of 2NE1's second studio album Crush (2014) and fused the genres of EDM, hip-pop and bubblegum trap over a tense drum beat, low bass, and a unique synth sound. [51] Billboard stated that: "The beat was trendy yet fresh, employing of-the-moment, trap-inspired breakdowns" and highlighted her "fierce and playful rap and singing style". [52] Fuse TV compared it to the musical styles of DJ Snake's "Turn Down for What", and deemed "MTBD" an upgraded version of the track. [53]

CL continued to pursue hip-hop and electronic styles with the release of "Hello Bitches" in 2015, which featured instrumentations of synthesizers, a heavy 808 bassline, and a strong trap hip-hop beat as the main axis. [54] Her 2016 English-language single "Lifted" marked her entry into reggae fusion, and was characterized as a relatively minimal breezy tropical hip-hop track. [55] Following a period of inactivity, CL released the project EP In the Name of Love in December 2019. Featuring six tracks, Billboard noted that the EP "[shares] a bit of herself, and her past, through its reflective tunes." [56] Stylistically, the record explores a variety of music genres from R&B to rap and tropical dance. [57] In October 2020, CL released the track "Hwa", which references the national flower of South Korea. [58] Rolling Stone commented that "CL's rapping prowess is on full display", as she rides a "booming bass line and snappy snares". [59] The song reflects her individuality, referencing themes of fire, wealth, flower and change. [60] In the track "5 Star", it contrasts the styles of "Hwa" with its love-filled lyrics and channels a more pop vibe. [61]

Public image and impact

"She expanded the image of the female K-pop idol. Her brand of unapologetic cool was refreshing and contributed in paving a way for other K-pop artists to follow".

–Hae Joo Kim, K-pop expert and the assistant chair of professional music at Berklee College of Music [62]

An anomaly in the mainstream K-pop scene, as The Guardian describes, CL has been called "a bold and brash personality in a world of high-gloss uniformity". Noted for deviating from stereotypical trends throughout her career, Jeff Benjamin of Billboard magazine stated that "She has a more fearless mindset when it comes to her career that's not seen in most K-pop stars." [49] Regarding her live performances, Tamar Herman of the same publication stating that she "dominate[s] stage after stage with her charismatic presence". [63] Owen Meyers highlighted her charismatic character and stated that "she helped pave the way for K-pop's explosion." [62] In an interview with CNN at New York Fashion Week 2016, fashion designer Jeremy Scott added: "I go around the world, I've seen her fans in Chile, in Brazil, obviously all through Europe. [...] She's not just a Korean or an Asian phenomenon, she really is a global superstar". [64]

[65] In an interview with i-D in 2015, CL elaborated on how fashion has influenced her career, saying: "Fashion and music are connected since both are expressions. I love to perform and express myself to inspire people. That's why fashion is a huge inspiration to me." [68]
