 Being an indie band that debuted in Japan, they started with many rumors and accusations ahead of them. One of that was they were accused of plagiarism in their single ‘Loner’ as it sounds alike with the indie band Ynot’s song ‘BlueBird’. But the songwriter said that it wasn’t. Unfortunately, Ynot is planning to file a lawsuit against the songwriter of ‘Loner’, saving the band from such disgrace. Although it’s ok now for the side of the band but the songwriter is facing the dilemma now. Netizens are thinking that maybe Ynot is riding the fame of C.N.Blue so they will be known too. June 2009, CN Blue began making street performances and performing gigs in live clubs in Japan. They made their formal debut as an indie band in Japan with their all-English tracks first mini-album, Now or Never on August 19, 2009. On November 25, 2009, the band released their second mini-album, called Voice, in Japan. The title track was recorded in Japanese while the rest are entirely in English.It was announced on the band’s official blog site on February 1, that they are going to be holding a one-man live show on March 20 in celebration of the release of their first album, titled, Thank U. A preview of their title track “a.ri.ga.tou” was posted on their official MySpace in late February.

With an already famous frontman and three other members who are equally young, handsome, and talented, it’s no wonder that CNBLUE is expected to be the next big thing in Korea. Their first Korean mini-album Bluetory comes with five mellow rock ballads and alternative rock numbers including the first plug “I’m a Loner” by hitmakers Kim Do Hoon and Lee Sang Ho, and the Korean versions of songs like Now or Never and Love Revolution from their Japan mini-albums.After storming to the top of the charts earlier in the year with their hit “I’m a Loner”, CNBLUE spreads the love with their highly anticipated second mini-album Bluelove. 

CN Blue Love

 

The six-track album continues the band’s alternative rock sound while also incorporating different styles like hip-hop. The title song LOVE is a cool modern rock number featuring a combination of acoustic and electric guitar sound, and a powerful rap section in the second half. Leader Yong Hwa wrote and composed two songs for the album, the laidback love song “Love Light” and funky rock number Tattoo. Drummer Min Hyuk shows his songwriting skills as well, penning the youthful rock tune Sweet Holiday. Bluelove also includes Let’s Go Crazy, whose original version was featured in their Japan Now or Never mini-album.
