    Some of the best albums of the genre, that I've heard. Beats and voices combining and super demanding and one realizes that it was made in minute details and this is simply incredible.

    An improvement with more innovation to BLACKPINK's sound for such a small EP.
    The Coachella performance really showcased how enjoyable this Extended Play could be.
    Hopefully the full studio album comes this year for the next step in BLACKPINK's growth.

    BLACKPINK shows their diversity and confidence with this project. Its a very laid back yet fun album. They bring back the familiar vibrant yg production with edm and trap inspired instrumentals, but with a an extra focus on their vocal abilities.
    And the bonus track "Ddu-du-ddu-du remix" is an amazing concert-ready mix of their most popular song. Can't wait for the full album!

    One powerful title track and some more songs who gives us a different stuff on Blackpink's repertory, with more chill and darker tracks, a great EP.

    BLACKPINK presents a worthy EP deserving of all success, the explosive track KILL THIS LOVE really catches the public on an ecstasy sensation not previously presented by the group in their work "SQUARE UP" and followed by the EP subtitle "Don't Know What To Do "captivates the audience with a joyful melody and lyrics that make us repeat the same track several times as if it were the firstBLACKPINK presents a worthy EP deserving of all success, the explosive track KILL THIS LOVE really catches the public on an ecstasy sensation not previously presented by the group in their work "SQUARE UP" and followed by the EP subtitle "Don't Know What To Do "captivates the audience with a joyful melody and lyrics that make us repeat the same track several times as if it were the first time.

    points cons: YG Ent. once again uses the practice of remixes not to deliver a complete album of these girls, I think he's afraid of them becoming bigger than he predicted for the group.    … Expand

    the songs are really good with their addictive beats that do not leave them wanting.
    The EP all in itself is good.

    THE PERFECTION in 4 songs and a remix.
    BLACKPINK came to show to the world how make a song with quality and meaning, they came to conquer their place, we can see a title song who show a quality in their vocals and arrangement, b-sides who has a beautiful meaning and a awesome lyrics, BLACKPINK can change the musical world, and Kill this Love is a wonderful proof of it.

    Esse EP é simplesmente divino! BLACKPINK trouxe com essas 4 músicas e o remix, uma nova perspectiva do que elas podem trazer para o mercado, músicas dançantes com vocais fortes e com letras impactantes e divinas

    This EP starts off with Kill This Love, a powerful anthem like song. DKWTD and Hope Not are slower songs that showcase their vocals best. Kick It is an upbeat song that shows BLACKPINK’s tough and fun side. Despite the fact that this mini album only has 4 songs (I’m not counting DDDD remix), all the songs are enjoyable and unskippable.

    The album is great, each song is unique and tells a story. The chorus of each song is well build that it keeps stuck in your head.

    Blackpink is one of the more refreshing girls group of today. Their sound is a kind of mix between the nowadays american pop and the corean pop. Both have a different style and development.

    Blackpink just shined this comeback. Teddy Park continues to give us the powerful lyrics and music. Different from Ddu-du-ddu-du, title track of previous EP Square Up, where blackpink showed up as the “I don’t care” girls, in Kill this Love they show the desire to end for good the toxic love that has been under them. The next song is Don’t know what to do. The sub-title song is differentBlackpink just shined this comeback. Teddy Park continues to give us the powerful lyrics and music. Different from Ddu-du-ddu-du, title track of previous EP Square Up, where blackpink showed up as the “I don’t care” girls, in Kill this Love they show the desire to end for good the toxic love that has been under them. The next song is Don’t know what to do. The sub-title song is different from the EP main song. Blackpink show themselves as girls which after a break up feel weak to continue. The rappers of the group Jennie and Lisa, show their amazing vocal skills. If the two first songs were made for both Korean and international markets, Kick it, the third song of the EP, is made for the US market. The song starts with Jennie’s mini-rap. After the Demi Lovato-Jessie J kind of chorus, comes the full-english rap of Thai singer, Lisa. Not too easy and yet not harsh, the rap is a try-not to sing along part, like most of the song. The english bridge in the end of the song is the highlight of the song and makes Kick it perfect. The EP takes another side on its fourth song, Hope not. A slow ballad which shows the vocal side of all four of the group. The iconic ‘For You, but you’ and the only Korean chorus in the whole EP make Hope not the second, wonderful ballad of Blackpink (after the 2016’ Stay). Then comes the remix of the previous hit Ddu-du Ddu-du. For my opinion, this is the only track that is kind of skip, and it's clearly because it's a remix. The removed traditional-Korean music in the end and Rose’s bridge make it a lower level than the previous tracks, but it’s a perfect song for a party on fire. The EP has songs for all moods: break-up mood, falling in love mood, happy, sad and party mood.… Expand

It reflects the fresh and young vibe of BLACKPINK; the sound and rhythms from the non singles have an aesthetic feeling, if a calm and beautiful afternoon in the city could have a sound, it would sound like Kick It and Don't Know What to Do.

    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.
