“I’m Building Back That Foundation”: CL Talks Debut Solo Album, ‘Alpha’

It was an undisputed, electrifying performance at the closing ceremony of the 2018 winter Olympics. From inside Pyeongchang’s Olympic Stadium, the K-pop star and rapper CL’s darkened silhouette appeared, as the opening lines to her 2013 hit single “The Baddest Female” rang out to the thousands of spectators assembled there. “This is for all my bad girls around the world,” the musician rapped.

It’s been three years since her monumental Olympics performance—and CL has come a long way. Today, she releases her debut solo album, a work that has been anticipated by listeners as far back as 2014. The record has been the subject of much industry brouhaha, after issues with CL’s former Korean label, YG Entertainment, came to light. But more importantly, as CL tells it, the album is a source of empowerment for the Asian community, and Asian women in particular.

“It was a big change for me, getting out of the label I was in and the K-pop system I was in since I was so young,” CL explains. To combat the stress and the questions from that time, the musician imagined an ideal character, a personal superhero, who could handle this situation with power, fearlessness, and flexibility. “I asked myself, how would she go through this? And I imagined that a lot. That was how the character, Alpha, was built.
