Their voices, their beats, their swag in the rap verses , it is a very unexpected surprise that will have you wanting more if you are new to them! My only negative was that there was only 8 tracks.

    In only 8 tracks Th Album took me on an emotional journey. From feeling confident and powerful with HYLT and Pretty Savage, sexy with Crazy Over You and a teary eyed mess with Love to Hate Me and You Never Know. I'm extremely happy with how this album turned out and it's definitely on my top 3 favorite albums.

    O "The Album" solidifica o BlackPink como um dos maiores atos pop do momento. Porém, em alguns momentos, falta originalidade e versatilidade dentro das melodias e letras, o que não impede o projeto de ser sólido.

    When BLACKPINK takes control of how they want the album to sounds like, you realize how great musicians and producers they really are. The title song "Lovesick Girls" was written by Kim Jisoo and Jennie Kim and produced by Jennie impacts the listeners with great vocal range from Rosé and Jisoo, and how amazing rappers Lisa and Jennie are.

    I didn't know them at all and then I saw the trendings on Twitter and I was curious to know more about who they are, I looked for them on Spotify and I was totally surprised by everything I came to hear, each track is completely refreshing and generates a desire to dance and have fun.
    To these girls my most sincere congratulations on these piece of Art.

    Crammed chockfull of crowd-pleasing EDM pyrotechnics and cheeky one-liners, The Album is undeniably a product of a well-oiled, state-of-the-art pop machine, but it feels stuck looking back to tried and true trends in both K-pop and Western pop music.

    The Album showcases their signature style of blending genres and influences to create songs that are just as classically pop as they are identifiably BLACKPINK.

    Overflowing with confidence, Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa conquer each track on The Album with their vocal ability (both singing and rapping) and effortless charm, switching up styles to offer something for every type of fan.
