    Album is great, Rose got a solo track. The Happiest Girl and Tally are my favorite tracks.

    An album with deeper lyrics. Definitely a good album if you want to know more about BLACKPINK's history. Good and catchy songs, the title track is something completely new in K-pop.

    In this album, BLACKPINK innovated once again, bringing many good surprises to the public. If on the previous album they showed what they came for, on this one they show everything they can do. They are the revolution!

The ballad song has great vocals and surprisingly heart warming for an album with the reputation of breaking barriers for women. It has spite with all the right reasons. Gets you in a good mood. I honestly am impress.… Expand

    It is the best album I have ever heard, it left me wanting more, its sounds so nostalgic to the era of the 2000s is simply magical

    Once again formulaic, only this time there was no continuity. Was hoping for something that was cohesive (like Nayeons IM NAYEON) and instead got this.

It ties into “Yeah Yeah Yeah”, my next favorite with their shared retro 80s pop instrumentals.… Expand

    Born pink isn't just an album, it's a cultural reset, it’s the oxygen you breathe, it’s a lifestyle, a reason to breathe, an escape from this cruel world, it’s art, the first gift you open on christmas, a hug from a loved one, everything uv ever wanted and more. it's a blessing.

    Es más de los mismo, la letra no tiene nada de inspiración, también me di cuenta que una de sus canciones es una copia de una canción de hace 2 años, no es nada nuevo e innovador

Este álbumme sorprendió mucho, las raperas tienen una vocal muy hermosa y las vocales me sorprendieron con sus notas altas, la manera que este álbum te lleva de sentirte inalcanzable a vulnerable y termina en sanación, me encanta como las canciones te transmiten tanto sentimiento que sientes que es tuyo , está agrupación no solo cantan si no que te transmiten ese sentimiento de la canción.

    After a long hiatus from Blackpink, this was an impressive album since it changed their usual representative sound (aggressive, full of dance breaks).

    A mix of pop, hip-pop, EDM. A small album in its number of songs but full of references, even classical music. Note 10/10.

    This album truly shows that blackpink doesn't stick to the same genre, there are some songs that are powerful like shut down and pink venom, a little more sassy in typa girl, also showing disco in yeahx3.

    As integrantes e os demais compositores do álbum, se superaram com as músicas do Born Pink, as músicas do mesmo, descrevem muito bem o título do Álbum em si. Explorando bem a voz de cada integrante, validando o quão completo os membros são, demostrando através das letras das faixas que estão bem mais maduras.

    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.
