    The Album is so sonically cohesive and truly captivates the meaning of Blackpink. It gives you attitude but with class. They definitely are now at par with the main pop girls. This is isn’t even KPop anymore. Lisa’s raps definitely gave this album more flavor adding it with the soulful vocals of Jisoo and the power of Rosé vocal color, Jennie did well as well.

    Top songs are Pretty Savage, You Never Know and Love to Hate Me (aside from the official singles). Give us more!! We need a longer album. Blackpink is TRULY the revolution.    … Expand

    Album perfeito, sonoridade impecável, ponto alto a originalidade de “Ice Cream”, com uma mistura de gêneros, mas sem perde a identidade, com um divisão que beira a perfeição nos vocais, com certeza este álbum mostra que o BlackPink esta no jogo, e é para ganhar.

    This album certainly speaks for blackpink's personality, it is honest with glamorous notes and strong lyrics that establish how powerful the group can be. The vocals are pretty stable and the whole production of it was really well done. There are songs for any aspect of their personalities, strength while dealing with struggles

    This album is a literal cultural reset, and, as always, BLACKPINK proves their place (pretty high btw) on the music industry. I have nothing to say beyond Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa, keep going with your journey.

    Crammed chockfull of crowd-pleasing EDM pyrotechnics and cheeky one-liners, The Album is undeniably a product of a well-oiled, state-of-the-art pop machine, but it feels stuck looking back to tried and true trends in both K-pop and Western pop music.

    The Album showcases their signature style of blending genres and influences to create songs that are just as classically pop as they are identifiably BLACKPINK.

    Overflowing with confidence, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa conquer each track on The Album with their vocal ability (both singing and rapping) and effortless charm, switching up styles to offer something for every type of fan.
