    BLACKPINK’s sophomore album really showed their ability to make. It is a step up from The Album. When I heard this album I felt motivated to get up and shake my ass. While also wanting to cry my eyes out while I **** BLACKPINK is really and will forever be the revolution!

    with the powerful “The Happiest Girl” and the charming Tally, Born Pink’s shows all talent of all girl at the group. Jennie Rap is Amazing, Lisa’s vocal is insane and vocal line’s: Jisoo and magnificent Rosé’s let that pink flavor in the album

    BLACKPINK sempre serão famosas e artistas. Elas voltaram com um álbum mais maduro e coeso. Faixas que merecem sua atenção: Yeah, Yeah, Yeah; The happiest girl e Tally.

    Blackpink showed a new whole side of the group with born pink, they showed production, vocals, the rap that is in my opinion blackpink's best skill to date, the title song "shut down" demonstrates it well.

    it's an incredible album from start to finish, several styles were explored which shows a more mature image of BLACKPINK but without leaving their trademark. “The Happiest Girl” and “Typa Girl” stand out for their powerful vocals and a lot of technique. I really enjoyed the sequel to the great “THE ALBUM”!

O álbum foi muito bem trabalhado, elas inovaram nele e mostraram que podem se sair muito bem em ritmos novos. conseguiram passar muito bem as emoções nas músicas tristes e mais lentas, assim como conseguiram animar nas músicas mais agitadas mostrando um ritmo envolvente e contagioso, os raps são muito bem feitos e os vocais são muitos bons, principalmente o da rose que mostrou sua capacidade vocal na faixa solo conseguindo alcançar notas mais agudas. O violino em shut down foi muito bem implementado na música e trouxe uma mistura muito interessante de música clássica e hip-hop, os raps da jennie e da lisa são as partes de mais destaques na música trazendo uma atmosfera mais agitada e com um flow impressionante. A jisoo também foi muito boa, e conseguiu mostrar a sua capacidade em entonações diferente do que é acostumado a se ver nas músicas do álbum passado.… Expand

    born pink is an album that captivates you from start to finish, it's easy to listen to, the tracks very well chosen and produced by the girls, the title track "Shut Down" is powerful, great chorus and has a strong and unique sample, such which "Pink Venom" the main b-side, makes me want to dance and sing it all. the other b-sides are amazing, a mix of melancholy and dance beats, just perfect.

    Fun album with a nice mix of uptempo songs and ballads. Far more variety here than in their earlier efforts. My only knock is that it's incredibly short (8 songs with a total length less than 25 minutes). I know that's the norm for them, but this feels more like an EP than a proper 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.
