    As a big BLACKPINK fan, I can say that they delivered absolutely EVERYTHING on their first full studio album. It's like a Bible em forma de música. Each song completes the other. It shows their vulnerable side, questions why we keep looking for a love that hurts us, talks about how people always see what they want.

It's like a Bible em forma de música. Each song completes the other. It shows their vulnerable side, questions why we keep looking for a love that hurts us, talks about how people always see what they want. Jennie and Jisoo showcase their talent for songwriting on the title track, "lovesick girls", just as Jennie produced the song. The songs deliver a sexy, vulnerable, baddass and relaxing air. I am very happy that blackpink finally delivered his album, with exciting and dancing beats, that make you always want more… Expand

    I think it's refreshing for BLACKPINK to bring back some music styles of the last decade but converting them in something unique. The Album plays well with the production and it makes you want to revisit the songs. As a fan of BLACKPINK, I was worried about this work because I wanted the sound and happily, they did it
