2NE1's CL has been featured in an article by United Kingdom news outlet The Guardian.

The Guardian features a segment called "The Playlist" where their team compiles playlists of different music from around the world. On June 22, "The Playlist" featured CL in anticipation of her upcoming American debut.

The excerpt has nothing but nice things to say about CL, calling her one of the biggest stars in South Korea and describing 2NE1 as bigger than UK based boy group One Direction. Talking specifically about her recent English-language release "Doctor Pepper," The Guardian calls the track addictive and compares CL's sound to something akin to Nicki Minaj.

CL is included amongst other genre-bending artists like The Walking Who and Green Buzzard from Australia, Sextile from Los Angeles, and Shades from Idaho.

The piece from The Guardian is not the first time Western outlets have expressed their interest in CL and her upcoming debut. Many music critics, along with K-pop fans, are highly anticipating her American album.

"Doctor Pepper" was released on DJ and producer Diplo's SoundCloud at the end of May. CL provides the song's catchy hook. Artists RiFF RAFF and OG Maco also feature on the song. It has been called an Atlanta-style rap track.

The date of CL's American debut is still unknown.
