If this is your first time hearing about the ‘baddest,’ then ALPHA is a great introduction because it shows off CL’s artistry, not only as a talented rapper, but also as a vocalist. Another sign of how much involvement she has on this album, is the fact that she’s credited as a writer on every track. From beginning to end, you know she’s behind the conception, and the results is something one could deem as a masterpiece.

My favorite tracks are SIREN, SPICY, Tie a Cherry, 5 STAR, Paradise, and My Way. I highly recommend you give ALPHA a listen. I guarantee you’ll leave the entire album on replay for hours. I certainly will be listening on a daily basis. CL has a special place in my heart since her days in 2NE1 as the eccentric leader, and I continue to support her as a solo artist because she’s incredibly talented, not only in music, but as a fashion icon.
