3.27.13 - New Music - Will.I.Am & 2NE1

I am happy to see that someone as powerful in the music industry (for better or worse) as Will.I.Am is championing K-pop girl group 2NE1. Americans need to see that K-pop isn't just silly guys in blazers and sunglasses doing odd horse dances. K-pop is a legitimate genre of music, and it's day is coming.

2NE1 are one of the most popular groups in Korea, and they have been spreading their music all around Asia. I guess - with Will's help - the rest of the world is next.

"Take The World On" is actually alright for an album track, which I can only hope that this is. I don't believe that 2NE1 have enough star power for Will to agree for this to be a single, and that is saying nothing of the actual song.

Lyrically the song is terribly bland, and actually very poorly constructed. But the dance drop is enough to get you through, and I actually like this. I can hear this being mashed up with something else in a remix context and finding new life.
