    I've been waiting for this album for a really long time and once i listened to it i loved every single second of it! Rosé, Jennie, Jisoo and Lisa are all very talented and their voices suit each song very well. Won't stop listening to it anytime soon.

    With their Pre-release 'How You Like That' and 'Ice Cream', they already showed us how these 4 girls known as Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa and Rosé can rules the black and pink concept in these 2 Pre-release. Coming with 'Lovesick Girls' and their long waited debut album since 4 years ago, 'THE ALBUM' is not showing last two concepts that they had but, more diversity of them become a BLACKPINK themselves.

    This album is really good. Every song is a bop at its own finest. 8 songs and each deserves a music video. I need a visual album for this.

    All songs are so good, really the best debut album ever. Rosé is perfect in every song, her vocals are no joke. Love to hate me is the best track with pretty savage and lovesick girls

    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.
