    It sounds like some generic game and ad songs. The only song that deserved to be considered real music is "Hard to love".

    In this album, BLACKPINK innovated once again, bringing many good surprises to the public. If on the previous album they showed what they came for, on this one they show everything they can do. They are the revolution!

    i really liked the production in the album and some of the lyrics aswell, however I feel that It might should have been longer, 25 minutes isn't the lenght an album should have.

    Eu amei o álbum, trás uma vibe mais leve com músicas vibrantes e ao mesmo tempo nostálgicas, a harmonia da bsides são perfeitas.

    The music is amazing and they matched each other. Despite being very different, the songs live up to the vibe of the entire album.

    From the amazing sample of classical music in Shut Down, to one of the saddest ballads I’ve ever heard in Happiest Girl, this album is honestly completely different from any Blackpink project and any K-Pop project I have ever heard and truly deserves to be praised. Born Pink is amazing!

    One of the best albums I've ever heard in my life, Blackpink is back to elevate K-Pop's status to another level and with a new aesthetic.

    This album exudes the deepest art and versatility of kpop without its essence being stripped away. The power that only BLACKPINK has when they venture new horizons never fails, shes can use any elements from rock to classic, and it will sound like something pleasant to listen to until the last second. This album is proof that kpop can remain kpop if you know how to reconcile the rhythms.This album exudes the deepest art and versatility of kpop without its essence being stripped away.

This is all genuinely stunning and there's no disputing it. It's unfortunate that it's only 8 songs, your label needs to value and invest more in these girls, they can do anything. They're amazing. I'm delighted and for me it's the best album of this year!… Expand

    i feel like this album is a step up from their previous work, which is a feat in itself, since the girls always deliver good songs. but, above all, i believe that is a very cohesive album, in which its tracks converse with each other. all in all a good experience. can't wait to see what they put out next!

    Such a good album. Better than I had hoped for. Title track gets better and better. And the b-sides are pretty diverse that everyone will find a song they love from the album. 10/10 for me.

    Easily surpassed their last album, the group explored other types of genres and voices, leaving the album with all variety of their talent, could have more songs that would be more perfect

    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.
