The teasers present special sides of the talented artist leading the audience to expect material which is high-quality and unique - as CL herself is. Fans are also curious to know whether CL is now working under Konnect entertainment. The agency was founded by popular South Korean singer Kang Daniel, and many are hoping for some explosive collaborations between the two artists.
What's more, the actor John Malkovich narrated CL's 'Spicy' teaser - a development which rendered fans speechless.

It will be CL's first full-length solo album since she debuted 13 years ago with 2NE1 in 2009, and she will be releasing the lead single 'Spicy' on 24 August. She then intends to release another single in September and finally the full album in October.
CL was supposed to have a release at the end of the last year, but postponed it because of circumstances beyond her control.
