    Absolute flop album for the biggest girl group.. After 2 years of break its normal for people to expect a smash hit like d4 or ktl but pink venom was way lower then our expectations.. it seemed like visuals and mv set were the main only focus of this comeback.

Lyrics were cringy with the same old empty clapbacks. The producer sampled so many songs for this one it felt like they are just so many patches or part joined together to make the song and the lyrics felt like someone was trying so hard to come up with rhymes.. the rattatatataa part was so extra. Shut down was worse then pink venom. That beat and chorus the lyrics everything felt so messy. The keep repeating shut down, shutting down, in your area, bp in your area throughout the songs as if the producer's made whole album under a month.. ready to love being in the album was itself a bad decision . Tally, typa girl were again the same old recycled concept. Happiest girl and yeah yeah yeah were only good songs but yg lacked creativity for naming the second one as usual. Ready to love was a good song itself but being the only solo song on album felt weird. Over all, the album wasn't something you should be expecting from a very successful group.… Expand

    poor quality with songs just being rejected demos from other artists. half the lyrics are sampled and dont even blend together. a 2 year wait but the amount of disappointment felt by fans was not worth the anticipation

    I expected more from the biggest girl group in the world. Their main producer needs to be fired. New blood is needed because what is this bland, boring and basic music?

    Analisando as faixas é possível concluir que as músicas se repetem na sua mensagem, em que na totalidade não passam de um amontoados de onomatopeias, somados a gemidos. As intérpretes como podemos assim dizer não produziram a sua própria arte o que reduz a uma análise mais profunda, pois são meras reprodutoras de frases que só querem lacrar sem transmitir emoções, sentimentos, histórias,Analisando as faixas é possível concluir que as músicas se repetem na sua mensagem, em que na totalidade não passam de um amontoados de onomatopeias, somados a gemidos.

    I gave the album one degree for Rose and for the effort that the girls made. But the truth is that he deserves the zero degree .All songs are similar to their style in previous albums. The distribution of lines is also unfair in the main tracks. All the topics are about love or self-vanity and this is not suitable for a global band And we can't forget the scandal because of the quotation of several passages from international songs . They are also not good at composing and all the songs they write themselves do not receive much popularity among fans And let's not forget the biggest scandal because of the theft of the concept of the bts song and no one can deny it They were absent. for two years and did not create a new concept and did not bother themselves with searching for new topics؟! It's a big farce.    … Expand

    Waiting almost 2 years for an album, you'd expect them to release some amazing songs that would leave you in shock. And yet, every single song on this album is severely lacking. All songs on this album are just a worse copy of the songs they released for their last album, which is disappointing to say the least. The beats are annoying, the lyrics made no sense...

    Лирика их песен для тупых. В некоторых песнях проскальзывает мизогиния. Я ждала большего и лучшего. Разочарована. То что сами исполнительницы не пишут свои песни огромный минус. Джису очень сильно обделяют. Столько рекламы из-за пустоты.Лирика их песен для тупых. В некоторых песнях проскальзывает мизогиния. Я ждала большего и лучшего. Разочарована.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album was a step down from Black Pink's first "full" album. First, Born Pink seems to have no thought of what tracks would cohesively go together. There is also the fact that only 8 tracks are actually on the album. Why wouldn't they put more song? It was know that Ryan Tedder wrote songs with Jennie and Rose, but those songs aren't on the album. The whole "a new sound from BP is coming" was a literal lie that YG pushed. Sadly Pink Venom, a pre-release single, followed the same formulaic style of previous releases. The song also has entirely to many "interpolations". Jennie's opening rap was okay, but the raps that Lisa did and Jennie's second rap where awful. The blaccent that Lisa uses is not uncommon but Jennie's was a bad surprise. The rap also didn't seem to flow well with the rest of the song. Lisa's singing part were better but still seemed strained and not sung in her usual comfortable range. Rose and Jisoo we're largely left out of this song and it wasn't the best idea. The music video seemed to jump around a lot and was hard to follow. The ever present repeated phrases and onomatopoeias where also part of the song. The annoying part wasn't the anti-drop, it was the empty chorus and ratatat ending of the song. Fans want actually lyrics not empty space. Shut Down, the title track, was slightly better only because they all had parts in the song. It's still formulaic and had the teddy producer stamp all over it. The whip whip whip part of the song was disappointing. Again Lisa's rap were sub par and full of blaccent but less noticable than Pink Venom. Jennie's raps were ok but nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing against the two because they don't write their own raps, fans are just tired of the same formulaic raps that they're given. Jisoo seemed to shine a little brighter than the rest on this particular song, in part because it seems to be in her vocal range, which is a rarity for a BP song. Shut down, unfortunately, was not of any real subsistence and was their basic flaunting of riches, being pretty, and people trying to be them. Nothing different than most of the songs put out by their label. The rest of the album was severely lacking also. Ready for Love was a well know song prior to it release for PubG; it was seen in their documentary in 2018 and was thought to be scraped by YG. It's seemed like a filler song thrown in to replace a different unknown song. It was released this year in August for collab with PubG. It seems like an under handed way to cut cost of production. Typa Girl is, at best, a shallow pick me girl song. It's full of blaccent and aave. It's writing credits is mainly Bekah Boom, who is a well know white lady who masquerades as the stereotypical black woman. With liberal use of aave and blaccent in her writing style, it makes any song she is the main contributor for, poor quality. It's song that most would consider a that but other woman down even tho some fans call it a women empowerment song. Tally and The Happiest Girl are by far the best songs because they were originally demos for other artists and writing by others outside of YG. Tally was originally song that was written for BeBe Rexha that she recorded but never used. The writers then sold the song to YG. Rexha fans had heard it during a live that a the singer had. The Happiest Girl was a song by Teddy Sinclair aka Natalia Kills in which she had previously released her demo on to her YouTube channel. She never used it in an official capacity and ended up selling to YG. The problem with the songs is the fact that they sound exactly like the demos. This could lead people outside the fandom to believe they were covers. BP once said that they didn't just get a song and record it, they would tweek and change things to their liking. This apparently doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Yeah Yeah Yeah has the makings of being a really good song but unfortunately it's incredibly short; in a where's the rest kind of way and not short and sweet kind of way. It's very reminisce of Love Sick Girls and seems to show the other side of the girls that feels more genuine. There just needs to be more of it. Finally Hard to Love seems to be a really good song but out of place on this album. The song is only sung by Rose. Which by itself is not bad but hasn't been done by the group ever. With such a lengthy time between albums, nearly 2 years wait between the group works, fans weren't off put by the appearance of the solo track. The biggest problem being that Jisoo is the only member yet to release a solo song. If the song was for Rose in the beginning, why bother to put it on the album. Why not let Rose release it with her other solo works. Overall Born Pink had the potential to be Black Pink's best work but lack in the number of tracks and the quality of the entire album.… Expand

    Happiest girl sounds like a fresh Breeze of air and good use of the vocals. Yeah yeah yeah feels like a catchy cute pop you can frequently listen to. Rosé's hard to love was the highlight of the album, a nice surprise, tally & typa girl tho lyrically are like the other blackpink songs talking about how they are the queen's & we are the losers but sounds fine.

Shut down was saved by the use of the classical sample. Let's not talk about pink venom, y'all know it sounds ass but still the vocals of Rosé and jisoo were nice, their lines were like salt on the food, less in quantity but ads a great flavour. Lyrically the Album is below average coz like any other blackpink project. Half of the songs are diss tracks made with the tik tok formula. Tho I expected improvement after the Album, this one disappointed me. Anyways we got 2 members participating in "one" song, that's a reason to celebrate.
    Hope they'll improve lyrically and experiment more with their music    … Expand

    These reviews seem a little biased to me. Listening to the album all I could think of is the lack of character or depth it had.

Very disappointing overall and just feels insincere which is a shame for a group that is supposed to claim the “best girl group” and to be the “revolution”. The only revolutionary thing about this album is how incredibly disappointing it is with nothing to stand out except maybe “happiest girl” which by itself I found out was an unreleased song for another artist and that sounded exactly like that demo with no changes or personal touches, but it still sounds the best between all records unfortunately.… Expand

    I mean honestly. There is no growth or maturing with their albums. No direction into the future nor do I expect things to change. 6 years into their career and this album is nothing special. The lead track fails to capture or prove why they are so popular. Popularity doesn't always mean good music. I am so disappointed

    blackpink peca de solo usar al mismo writer y producer en todas sus canciones. Esto solo provoca que TODAS suenen idénticas. RItmos pegadizos que con el paso del tiempo solo queda la poca coherencia de sus letras y los vacios ritmos. No otorgan nada, solo ads con las marcas de ropa y ya

    Some songs were alright, but overall a very boring album. I'm not a fan of the group, but all the girls are really beautiful and talented but they don't show any passion. It's kinda confusing to me how they have such dedicated fans because the group itself doesn't seem to care about the fans lol. Talented girls, but none of that talent was put into this album.

    The execution itself often falls frustratingly flat, lacking originality and a clear-cut focus. With its limited scope of musical conceptions, Born Pink, therefore, sounds strangely restricted, as if detained in a confined space wherein it longs to escape.

    On ‘Born Pink’, BLACKPINK tread familiar thematic territory for pop music, but the imagery – finding solace from heartbreak at the bottom of a bottle (‘The Happiest Girl’), boasting about being the type of girl you take to your “mama house” (‘Typa Girl’) – isn’t particularly novel, though they have effectively applied a personal touch in the past (see Jennie’s ‘Solo’).

    “Born Pink” is occasionally galvanic, and occasionally iterative. When the group does push into new territory — or more accurately, unshackles itself from familiar ground — it doesn’t leave much of an impact.
