    Absolute flop album for the biggest girl group.. After 2 years of break its normal for people to expect a smash hit like d4 or ktl but pink venom was way lower then our expectations.. it seemed like visuals and mv set were the main only focus of this comeback.

After 2 years of break its normal for people to expect a smash hit like d4 or ktl but pink venom was way lower then our expectations.. it seemed like visuals and mv set were the main only focus of this comeback. 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

    poor quality with songs just being rejected demos from other artists. half the lyrics are sampled and dont even blend together. a 2 year wait but the amount of disappointment felt by fans was not worth the anticipation

    I expected more from the biggest girl group in the world. Their main producer needs to be fired. New blood is needed because what is this bland, boring and basic music?

    Analisando as faixas é possível concluir que as músicas se repetem na sua mensagem, em que na totalidade não passam de um amontoados de onomatopeias, somados a gemidos. As intérpretes como podemos assim dizer não produziram a sua própria arte o que reduz a uma análise mais profunda, pois são meras reprodutoras de frases que só querem lacrar sem transmitir emoções, sentimentos, histórias,Analisando as faixas é possível concluir que as músicas se repetem na sua mensagem, em que na totalidade não passam de um amontoados de onomatopeias, somados a gemidos.

Uma discografia que não passa emoção, só dá uma irritabilidade auditiva. Enfim, não inovaram em nada.… Expand

    É decente, algumas faixas se destacam mais, outras menos, mas pra um projeto com tão poucas faixas, acaba deixando a desejar.

It's not good, really, they tried to change the concept in "The Happiest Girl", but in general, all the songs have the same feel as the previous ones. I know that Black Pink's brand is a girl crush concept, strong and sexy, but nothing goes beyond that. Too generic.… Expand

    The album is close to be perfect! If it wasn't for "Hard to love", it would be awesome. Don't know why they gave rosé a solo song in the album :(

    Disappointing. Waiting 2 years to get just 8 songs of which: 2 songs are already heard, their 2 most boring ballads & a badly-credited solo. A turnt for the worse.

    It's definitly better than The Album in all point. Born Pink is BLACKPINK announcing they are entering a new area. Love the most guitar focused song like Hard To Love and Yeah Yeah Yeah.

Typa Girl is fun and have the power to make you feel like a bad b when you sing along. The high notes are really pretty and are a nice touch. The only bummer is that I find the end a bit too abrupt. Tally is laid back and have good lyrics. It deliver an important message. Ready For Love is a nice summer song but I feel it doesn't really belong in this album. The placements felt weird.… 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.    … Expand

    I loved this Blackpink album, I loved that this time they came with different songs and more distribution of lines and I wish Jisoo had more focus her voice is as beautiful and husky as Lisa too they finally got her tone right which is deeper and sexy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I love this album. BLACKPINK really evolved with this album, consecrating themselves as the best group of girls and queens of K-pop. "The happiest girl" is in my opinion, the best song of Born Pink, but all the others are not far behind. It's a more mature album, with different and exquisite sounds when you're listening to it. I really love it!… Expand

    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.

    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.
