Lack Of 2NE1 September Single Causes Fan Outrage: Will YG Delay New Album Release From October Due To 'Last Minute Work'?

2NE1 may be exploding in popularity (particularly on Instagram), but fans are quickly losing faith as September nears its end and the promised new single is nowhere to be seen.

As fans know, YG previously announced that 2NE1 will release a new single every month starting in July until the new album release in October. However, September has come and is nearly gone.

In July, 2NE1 dropped the single "Falling in Love" to great reception of a new soung. In August, "Do You Love Me" released despite conflicts with the music video. But again, 2NE1 managed to deliver with a home-made video.

But this month, it seems perhaps 2NE1 and YG will go back to their old habits of broken promises and delaying new music.

And fans are none too happy about it:

"September is coming to an end soon and we didn't have a new single from 2NE1 like YG planned!" writes Prisha on Twitter.

"5 days to go before September ends but there's not even a little ray of hope for 2NE1's single. YG the best liar ever!" writes Darakrung.

"Damn you YG where the hell is 2NE1 single for this month? And don't you dare push back the release of their album next month." writes Jiyong Dara.

"I'm willing to forgive YG, once again, for not releasing a September single only if he doesn't delay 2NE1's album October release date." writes Evie.

One particular reason is that this month, CL and Dara have been seen posting numerous photos on Instagram of their trip to New York.

With a slew of photos showing the ladies partying with celebrities and enjoying Fashion Week, it doesn't seem like 2NE1 has been working on their new album or new single as of late.

If the album is already complete, then perhaps 2NE1 is enjoying a much-deserved vacation, but then the new single, presumably, should be ready for release.

During a recent interview with Examiner, CL remains steadfast that the new album will drop next month, but does not indicate any new single for this month.

"Right now, I'm working on 2NE1′s next album. It's dropping next month, so yeah, last minute work."

So what is behind this delay? And even worse, could 2NE1's new album be pushed back?
