“Until now, it has only been a practice game,” said Rainstone, songwriter for Wonder Girls record label JYP Entertainment, back in January. “The Wonder Girls will begin their real, full-scale American debut this year.” The Girls appear ready to make good on Rainstone’s promise/threat, recently preparing their fanbase for the scheduled June release of their official U.S. debut album. “[The Wonder Girls] are busy recording their album with world renowned composers,” said JYP in a released statement. “Their comeback schedule will be adjusted after they finish their album production in the U.S.”
The Girls, who became the first South Korean act to hit the Billboard Hot 100 when their 2009 single “Nobody” (released in the U.S. in English) debuted at No. 76, have enlisted the help of a couple American hitmakers for their planned invasion over the Pacific. Rodney “Darkchild” Jerkins, the man behind such smash hits as Destiny’s Child’s “Say My Name” and Lady Gaga’s “Telephone,” has been brought in to assist with production, and Claude Kelly, songwriter to stars like Miley Cyrus (“Party in the U.S.A.”) and Kelly Clarkson (“My Life Would Suck Without You”), has also been revealed to be heavily involved with the album.
Will the participation of these high-profile collaborators put the Wonder Girls over the top in the US of A? We’ll find out soon, but in the meantime, the Girls can keep themselves sharp with their upcoming gig in front of 90,000 fans at Beijing’s Olympic Arena. Hey, after that, playing a couple nights at Nassau Coliseum should be like a paid vacation for these guys.
