    Decepcionante. Sinceramente crei que las chicas nos tendrian algo nuevo para mostrar, lamentablemente solo hubo un par de cambios, mismos sonidos, temas iguales y no hay nada relevante que hayan escrito. Las interpretes pueden ser lindas pero no salvan el álbum que es de mala calidad.

    Las canciones son como sonidos básicos q encuentras en línea, no tienen un significado ni mensaje positivo que demostrar, por lo que sé ni siquiera las 4 escriben sus canciones, entonces como van a transmitir algo q solo leen pero que nunca han sentido?

    Some songs were alright, but overall a very boring album. I'm not a fan of the group, but all the girls are really beautiful and talented but they don't show any passion. It's kinda confusing to me how they have such dedicated fans because the group itself doesn't seem to care about the fans lol. Talented girls, but none of that talent was put into this album.

    My daughter enjoyed this album and even though I’ve never listened to Black Pink I decided to give it a try. It wasn’t terrible, just wasn’t that interesting to listen to and even though there were a few insightful lyrics overall it just didn’t grab me. Maybe the next album…

    Disgusting, as expected, even during the tour I still had hope, but after hearing their lousy vocals (when they didn't lip-sync basically 80% of the show) It was clear to me that they don't have an ounce of talent, they couldn't even contribute to the album themselves.

    Another disappointing album. Difficult to class it as an album considering it doesnt often alot of new music. The sound and lyrics are repetitive as their old music. Nothing stands out as unique. The excessive use of slang and aave is off-putting. The message they choose to deliver through their music is once again, repetitive and meaningless.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album was a step down from Black Pink's first "full" album. First, Born Pink seems to have no thought of what tracks would cohesively go together. There is also the fact that only 8 tracks are actually on the album. Why wouldn't they put more song? It was know that Ryan Tedder wrote songs with Jennie and Rose, but those songs aren't on the album. The whole "a new sound from BP is coming" was a literal lie that YG pushed. Sadly Pink Venom, a pre-release single, followed the same formulaic style of previous releases. The song also has entirely to many "interpolations". Jennie's opening rap was okay, but the raps that Lisa did and Jennie's second rap where awful. The blaccent that Lisa uses is not uncommon but Jennie's was a bad surprise. The rap also didn't seem to flow well with the rest of the song. Lisa's singing part were better but still seemed strained and not sung in her usual comfortable range. Rose and Jisoo we're largely left out of this song and it wasn't the best idea. The music video seemed to jump around a lot and was hard to follow. The ever present repeated phrases and onomatopoeias where also part of the song. The annoying part wasn't the anti-drop, it was the empty chorus and ratatat ending of the song. Fans want actually lyrics not empty space. Shut Down, the title track, was slightly better only because they all had parts in the song. It's still formulaic and had the teddy producer stamp all over it. The whip whip whip part of the song was disappointing. Again Lisa's rap were sub par and full of blaccent but less noticable than Pink Venom. Jennie's raps were ok but nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing against the two because they don't write their own raps, fans are just tired of the same formulaic raps that they're given. Jisoo seemed to shine a little brighter than the rest on this particular song, in part because it seems to be in her vocal range, which is a rarity for a BP song. Shut down, unfortunately, was not of any real subsistence and was their basic flaunting of riches, being pretty, and people trying to be them. Nothing different than most of the songs put out by their label. The rest of the album was severely lacking also. Ready for Love was a well know song prior to it release for PubG; it was seen in their documentary in 2018 and was thought to be scraped by YG. It's seemed like a filler song thrown in to replace a different unknown song. It was released this year in August for collab with PubG. It seems like an under handed way to cut cost of production. Typa Girl is, at best, a shallow pick me girl song. It's full of blaccent and aave. It's writing credits is mainly Bekah Boom, who is a well know white lady who masquerades as the stereotypical black woman. With liberal use of aave and blaccent in her writing style, it makes any song she is the main contributor for, poor quality. It's song that most would consider a that but other woman down even tho some fans call it a women empowerment song. Tally and The Happiest Girl are by far the best songs because they were originally demos for other artists and writing by others outside of YG. Tally was originally song that was written for BeBe Rexha that she recorded but never used. The writers then sold the song to YG. Rexha fans had heard it during a live that a the singer had. The Happiest Girl was a song by Teddy Sinclair aka Natalia Kills in which she had previously released her demo on to her YouTube channel. She never used it in an official capacity and ended up selling to YG. The problem with the songs is the fact that they sound exactly like the demos. This could lead people outside the fandom to believe they were covers. BP once said that they didn't just get a song and record it, they would tweek and change things to their liking. This apparently doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Yeah Yeah Yeah has the makings of being a really good song but unfortunately it's incredibly short; in a where's the rest kind of way and not short and sweet kind of way. It's very reminisce of Love Sick Girls and seems to show the other side of the girls that feels more genuine. There just needs to be more of it. Finally Hard to Love seems to be a really good song but out of place on this album. The song is only sung by Rose. Which by itself is not bad but hasn't been done by the group ever. With such a lengthy time between albums, nearly 2 years wait between the group works, fans weren't off put by the appearance of the solo track. The biggest problem being that Jisoo is the only member yet to release a solo song. If the song was for Rose in the beginning, why bother to put it on the album. Why not let Rose release it with her other solo works. Overall Born Pink had the potential to be Black Pink's best work but lack in the number of tracks and the quality of the entire album. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Only giving it one star just because they released something. The first problem is Pink Venom which has the same teddy sound their other music does. The song is also just 20 seconds of ratatat another repetitive lines. The rap sections of the song are cringey and full of blaccent in that is similar in sound to how nicki Minajraps and sounds when she talks. Shut down seems like a half hearted attempt to be nostalgic in the music video but the actual song is just Blackpink talking about the same shallow things; money, other girls copying them. The instrumental they sam and le in shut down is just the same thing over and over.its full of repetitive words that makes it get annoying really quick. The rap parts a not any better in this song either. The bsides to the album are all various degrees of dissatisfaction and no real musical evolution. The random solo thrown into the album seems like an odd choice and throws off the whole balance of the album. Not much of this album is worth listening to again. Expand

    I gave the album one degree for Rose and for the effort that the girls made. But the truth is that he deserves the zero degree .All songs are similar to their style in previous albums. The distribution of lines is also unfair in the main tracks. All the topics are about love or self-vanity and this is not suitable for a global band And we can't forget the scandal because of the quotation of several passages from international songs . They are also not good at composing and all the songs they write themselves do not receive much popularity among fans And let's not forget the biggest scandal because of the theft of the concept of the bts song and no one can deny it They were absent. for two years and did not create a new concept and did not bother themselves with searching for new topics؟! It's a big farce.

    I mean honestly. There is no growth or maturing with their albums. No direction into the future nor do I expect things to change. 6 years into their career and this album is nothing special. The lead track fails to capture or prove why they are so popular. Popularity doesn't always mean good music. I am so disappointed

    At this point you can't have expectations from them.
    All songs are recycled and all the "new" ones are heavily sampled to the point that they can't even be called original. Just like before this album also doesn't reflect any of the member

    It sounds like some generic game and ad songs. The only song that deserved to be considered real music is "Hard to love".

    The beat is just copy paste ... nothing new. Seriously hire a better producer. I was expecting something new after waiting for 2 years but I was disappointed. Rosé and Lisa's album was far better than this .

    Las canciones del álbum tienen el mismo concepto, les faltó más originalidad. Blackpink debe salir de su zona de confort. Ojalá, para el siguiente álbum mejoren. De todos modos, es un buen grupo, pero ojalá mejoren.

    In between the groups main writer and producer, Teddy, using his famed, archaic ‘Blackpink formula’, second hand, throwaway songs from western artists, which have had almost zero personal touches made to separate them from their origin into being a ‘Blackpink song’ and the rest of the album being generic, unremarkable songwriting, which could have been sung by any artist out there… I thinkIn between the groups main writer and producer, Teddy, using his famed, archaic ‘Blackpink formula’, second hand, throwaway songs from western artists, which have had almost zero personal touches made to separate them from their origin into being a ‘Blackpink song’ and the rest of the album being generic, unremarkable songwriting, which could have been sung by any artist out there… I think it’s fair to say that, as always, the excruciatingly long wait was not based on quality vs quantity, as much as it was a ploy to starve dedicated fans into being grateful for anything being released, regardless of the quality. As we’ve come to expect from Blackpink, this album is rife with the “I’m better than you” lyrics, which at this point are starting to seem like a desperate cry for validation that this is in fact the case, rather than it being a sure, yet cocky statement. We also have the ever present misogyny dressed up as empowerment and feminism. The “I’m not like other girls at all” (seriously, they use that exact line in the song ‘Typa Girl’) really just pushes this album into the murky depths of tearing other women down in order to lift themselves up.

    Sonically, the album is passable and generic at best, and at worst, is an example of questionable production, poor vocals and recycled, tired material. It sounds like it was thrown together in a couple of weeks, a month at most. It is certainly not a great product to come out of a whole two years of inactivity. Maybe avid fans can reach to the heavens, and wring out something positive from ‘Born Pink’ due to it being the only offering they’ll likely get for another couple of years. However, from the perspective of an unbiased music lover, I must say, this is a way below average release and possibly one of the most disappointing albums I’ve heard in a long time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I unstanned because of this disappointment. The main single Shut Down should’ve been called Let Down the way it crushed all of the hopes we accumulated over their hiatus of 2 years. The album is only 8 songs long with 2 being pre releases, and uninteresting ones at that. The rest are incomprehensible English songs speckled with a few Korean words. They all have the same I’m a boss **** with brand deals lyrics over a heavy edm/techno beat however which made it seem like they’re all the same song. Most of them are American artists’ rejects as well. There’s also a random English solo by the main vocalist which could’ve easily been on her album that was released last year. So in reality the album is 3-4 new songs :/ It feels like Blackpink lost their identity with this release and lost most of their fans too. Hopefully they disband soon and are freed from the shackles of their company. Expand

Lyrics were cringy with the same old empty clapbacks. The producer sampled so many songs for this one it felt like they are just so many patches or part joined together to make the song and the lyrics felt like someone was trying so hard to come up with rhymes.. the rattatatataa part was so extra. Shut down was worse then pink venom. That beat and chorus the lyrics everything felt so messy. The keep repeating shut down, shutting down, in your area, bp in your area throughout the songs as if the producer's made whole album under a month.. ready to love being in the album was itself a bad decision . Tally, typa girl were again the same old recycled concept. Happiest girl and yeah yeah yeah were only good songs but yg lacked creativity for naming the second one as usual. Ready to love was a good song itself but being the only solo song on album felt weird. Over all, the album wasn't something you should be expecting from a very successful group. Expand

Very disappointing overall and just feels insincere which is a shame for a group that is supposed to claim the “best girl group” and to be the “revolution”. The only revolutionary thing about this album is how incredibly disappointing it is with nothing to stand out except maybe “happiest girl” which by itself I found out was an unreleased song for another artist and that sounded exactly like that demo with no changes or personal touches, but it still sounds the best between all records unfortunately.

    'Born Pink' feels more like an 'album' made to break a few records and please a few fans, as well as a rehash of an already used structure misused and where the songs are not entirely original.

    The album sounds basic. They did try new things this time however it still can't save them from being mediocre. The lyrics are the worst giving a major pick-me I'm different than you vibe but disguise a empower feminist for some reasons

    The execution itself often falls frustratingly flat, lacking originality and a clear-cut focus. With its limited scope of musical conceptions, Born Pink, therefore, sounds strangely restricted, as if detained in a confined space wherein it longs to escape.
  2. 60
    On ‘Born Pink’, BLACKPINK tread familiar thematic territory for pop music, but the imagery – finding solace from heartbreak at the bottom of a bottle (‘The Happiest Girl’), boasting about being the type of girl you take to your “mama house” (‘Typa Girl’) – isn’t particularly novel, though they have effectively applied a personal touch in the past (see Jennie’s ‘Solo’).

    “Born Pink” is occasionally galvanic, and occasionally iterative. When the group does push into new territory — or more accurately, unshackles itself from familiar ground — it doesn’t leave much of an impact.
