    'Dont Know What To Do' is just magical and the title track is literally an energetic song but lacks in something. The other tracks are great.

    The title track and single from the EP, ‘Kill This Love’, showcases the groups’ rap and vocal skills, accompanied by a trap fused EDM instrumental. The chorus relies on onomatopoeia rather than actual lyrics. However, this results in the song being more catchy than what it may have been.

The chorus relies on onomatopoeia rather than actual lyrics. However, this results in the song being more catchy than what it may have been.

    ‘Don’t Know What To Do’ acts as a polar opposite to the song that comes before it. A relaxed and chilled pop song, but doesn’t stray too far from BLACKPINK’s usual sound and structure to the point where you would think it is sung by somebody else.

    ‘Kick It’ continues this trend in genre from its predecessor, but appears to be more upbeat with the presence of a rap done by the rapper/dancer of the group, Lisa, in the second verse. ‘Hope Not’ is the last new track included on the EP, showcasing the groups’ vocal abilities and acts as an outro to the EP. It is the second ballad the group has ever released, but they have already mastered the sound of these songs.

    ‘Ddu-Du Ddu-Du (Remix)’ is the final track on the EP, and seems to be added just to make the project appear larger than it actually is. While the remix is good, it doesn’t seem necessary and actually feels out of place with the rest of the project. Maybe it would have fit in better if it were to be released at the same time as their last EP, where the original track can be found.

    Overall, it seems that, whilst the project is good, the group have played it extremely safe in releasing 4 new songs and a remix of their breakout hit in the western music market. It would be nice to see the girls take more risks and explore more styles with their music. After all, they’ve been a group for almost 3 years and have yet to release a full body of work.    … Expand

    It is no surprise that they gave us a tremendous success such as the EP kill this love

    They had already shown us with their previous songs that they had talent and with DDU DU DDU DU that they could create worldwide successes.

    Postscript: I just appreciate and love the fact that they gave us a bonus with a remix of a previous song like DDU DU DDU DU (Remix)

    Me gusta como muestran su potencial en todas las canciones. Kick It fue la mejor, muestra su potencial en vocal. DKWTD no es para nada repetitive, es potente y bailable. Hope Not no te llega a aburrir a pesar de ser lento. KTL es muy buena, poderosa y fuerte, finalmente hasta el remix de Dux4 te da como si fuera una nueva canción, nada igual y eso es bueno. Un buen EP!!!

    I stumbled across the Kill This Love music video on Youtube and let me tell you... I was obsessed for days with them. Their music is addictive, it makes you feel empowered and confident. They have sweet songs like Don't Know What To Do and Hope Not which are also completely different but great as well. The production is excellent.

    this ep is a clear example of how great artists this people are    … Expand

    With hits this tailored and successfully executed, the group’s roof-shattering popularity comes as no surprise in the least.

    Kill This Love ... showcases a band who are certainly talented but perhaps not quite ready for the next upward arc in the ride they’re currently on.

    Though BLACKPINK can sing and dance with precision, the production of Kill This Love is also weirdly dated, like it was crafted earlier in the decade and then forgotten in a time capsule for five years.
