    Its the perfect Blackpink Album. People who say "All BP songs sound the same" never really listened to them. This Album is the perfect Showcase how diverse they are as an Artist. Ever Single song on this Album is basically a totally different genre.
    Pink Venom = The ultimate stereotypical Blackpink hype song. BUT with a twist in the chorus. Using a BP nontypical Catchy Antidrop.

    Shut down = A Hard hittng pure rap track with a classical Violin sample. Something never heard in kpop before.
    Typa girl = Chill laid back hip hop track with a sudden hard doubletime rap part.
    Yeah Yeah Yeah = A a catchy 80th synth pop song
    Hard to Love = A indi poprock solo song by rosé with clear storytelling lyrics.
    Happiest girl = Melancholic piano ballad with emotional vocals.
    Tally = is a pop song with both hip-hop and rock elements, and the crispy guitar tone. With empowering lyrics.
    Ready for Love = vocal EDM track with rap elements.

    How much more divercity do you even expect from a group? At this point BP almost did every single music genre there is.    … Expand

    Born Pink é simplesmente genial. A title Shut Down mostra a evolução das membros enquanto artistas, além de declarar uma nova fase do grupo, o nome do álbum confirma "nasce o rosa", uma nova versão do grupo chegou, uma versão nunca vista.

    This album is a masterpiece, it was worth the wait and it's the best music they released to date. Every negative reaction (most of which are 0s)is from antis of the group, or fan of other less popular and somehwat worse Korean acts (like BTS or that gg that is popular in Japan only)

    Even though there's only 8 songs i feel like is a very complete album. This time they explored more working with other producers besides Teddy and the result was great! Even Ready for Love which is a track we already know for quite a while doesn't feel like just another song on the album.

    Their sophomore album has surprised us all with a more cohesive sound, an amazing pre-release single (Pink Venom) and an awesome single (Shut Down). Blackpink keep growing as artists and we can't wait to see what they keep putting out in the future. All the songs sound amazing, especially "Happiest Girl", "Yeah Yeah Yeah" and "Hard to Love".

    it's an incredible album from start to finish, several styles were explored which shows a more mature image of BLACKPINK but without leaving their trademark. “The Happiest Girl” and “Typa Girl” stand out for their powerful vocals and a lot of technique. I really enjoyed the sequel to the great “THE ALBUM”!

  1. The Line of Best Fit

    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.
