After so many shitty Euro club records and attempts to be hood, it's nice to see 2NE1 flip things and strip everything back. Well...everything but the make-up. CL's face looks like it can barely move under those 2 inches of Shiseido, and Bom's face still looks like it's permanently frozen into an expression of surprise. Dara and Minzy were the only members whose faces looked human. Although Minzy looked ill and was suited up like a 30 year old woman.
I've been going through a period of falling out with 2NE1. I loved them when they debuted and then got sick of them doing the same thing, wearing the same shit, dropping the same watered down versions of songs they and Big Bang had already done and just trying too hard. But "Be mine" reminds me of a moment in 2NE1's careers when I liked them the most, back when they were showing everybody a completely different side to their style and talents with performances of the acoustic version of "I don't care". A version which was mis-appropriately named, seeing as it wasn't so much acoustic as it was a light reggae remix.
