2NE1 is hurting

The girls take on a different style of music

After releasing their 30 second teaser for “Can’t Nobody” yesterday, 2NE1 has revealed a 1 minute 30 second teaser for another title track “It Hurts (Slow).”

Instead of the regular upbeat and energetic style 2NE1 is known for, the song really showcases the girls’ talents. It has a smooth and silky melody that is quite addicting as well. It is a 1 minute 30 second audio clip of only the first verse.

It really does hurt to wait this long for their official album release! Take a listen and give us your thoughts!
