K-pop icon CL of 2ne1 fame is finally back with her debut album as a solo artist called Alpha, scheduled to be released next month. She has initially launched her two carrier singles: “HWA” and “5 STAR”.

CL gave a live performance of “HWA: Through The Fire” on The Late Late Show With James Corden, and released a dance performance video after. We definitely missed seeing CL rock the dance floor and boast her vocal range and rap skills live, and she gave just that with her performances for “HWA”!

Aside from her new flavor of dope music, we also can’t help but notice her new fashion sense– mostly highlighted by loud, vibrant, even intricate jackets, which she’s usually matched with mini shorts that highlight her sexy thighs. And she’s capped the looks with stylish gloves. These are the style staples for this new era of CL, we suppose?

Just watch her “HWA” performances here to see her new fashion statements:

On the other hand, her video for the track “5 STAR” showcases her emotional vocal stylings in this romantic, lyrically rich R&B song, which just reminds us why we love this artist:

CL’s music and fashion are always on point, and with her comeback, we are delighted to see this new side of CL. Excited to see more from this legendary K-pop queen!
