    Amo esse álbum mas temos que admitir, que trabalho preguiçoso. Com apenas 8 musicas e com tanto tempo sem lançar nada, a YG teve tempo de sobra para proporcionar um álbum de qualidade e recheado de hits, mas a preguiça falou mais alto e fizeram algo raso, porém, bom. EU como blink gostei das musicas mas senti muita falta de mais!

    Decepcionante. Sinceramente crei que las chicas nos tendrian algo nuevo para mostrar, lamentablemente solo hubo un par de cambios, mismos sonidos, temas iguales y no hay nada relevante que hayan escrito. Las interpretes pueden ser lindas pero no salvan el álbum que es de mala calidad.

Such a disappointment. Waited 2 years for this mess. They for sure don't know how to make music. FREE THE GIRLS FOR TEDDY AND HIS MEDIOCURE MUSIC STYLE. THEY DESERVE BETTER.

    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.

    My daughter enjoyed this album and even though I’ve never listened to Black Pink I decided to give it a try. It wasn’t terrible, just wasn’t that interesting to listen to and even though there were a few insightful lyrics overall it just didn’t grab me. Maybe the next album…

    Disgusting, as expected, even during the tour I still had hope, but after hearing their lousy vocals (when they didn't lip-sync basically 80% of the show) It was clear to me that they don't have an ounce of talent, they couldn't even contribute to the album themselves.

    Another disappointing album. Difficult to class it as an album considering it doesnt often alot of new music. The sound and lyrics are repetitive as their old music. Nothing stands out as unique. The excessive use of slang and aave is off-putting. The message they choose to deliver through their music is once again, repetitive and meaningless.

    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

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.

Comencemos con la canción principal "pink venom" la instrumental es muy buena, sus sonidos e instrumentos que usaron al comienzo y construyen la canción son muy llamativos y buenos, el mensaje que quiere dar es lo mismo que vimos en canciones como "How you like that" algo un poco repetitivo, pero de allí no le puedo pedir más a una canción pop de un grupo pop, la escena de rose tocando la guitarra es muy icónica, la siguiente canción es "Shut Down" la instrumental otra vez encantando, muy bien diseñada, el mensaje es el mismo que en canciones anteriores, pero en esta canción son muy necesarias, dió el mensaje que se necesitaba dar, igual sigue siendo algo muy repetitivo del grupo, "Type Girl" la instrumental es genérica, no tuvo tanta experimentación, suena a la repetitiva formula de Teddy, el mensaje es muy bueno pero sigue siendo la parte dos de "Pretty Savage", la cuarta canción es "Yeah Yeah Yeah, el instrumental es algo básico y genérico, pero fresco y envolvente, te invita a bailar y alegrarte, el mensaje es simple, una canción de amor pop tradicional, en dónde describe los sentimientos y comportamientos que tiene por esa persona, y lo invita a decir si, si está enamorado, "Hard To Love" es la canción perfecta, la mejor del álbum diría yo, pero no me dejaré llevar por mis sentimientos, la instrumental es perfecta, no tan sorprendente pero perfecta, le da el toque que necesito la canción, ahora el mensaje que quiere dar es de desamor, una chica que advierte a esa persona que es difícil de amar y que puede salir herido, muy buena canción, ahora, "The Happiest Girl" una balada que se va construyendo según va avanzando la canción, muy buena, el mensaje es muy melancólico y a la vez motivador, recomendada si te rompieron el corazón, para mí la segunda mejor canción del álbum, "Tally" es perfecto, instrumental muy buena, algo simple pero buena, el mensaje es lo que se necesitaba decir, algo muy cierto y del cual se debe hacer protesta con canciones como está, ahora terminamos con "Ready For Love" básico y genérico, quizás algo muy disfrutable y bailable pero a comparación de las demás canciones, está queda por última, el mensaje básico pop de amor y la instrumental también algo muy básico y genérico, creo que la anterior canción debió cerrar el álbum, en general "Born Pink" es un álbum pop prometedor para un grupo como blackpink, trae cosas de anteriores álbum y experimenta con nuevas cosas, no tiene conceptualismo y en general no se encuentra el mensaje que quiere dar, igual sigue siendo disfrutable para pasarla bien.… Expand

    Their second best album to date, they have been preparing for two years and it was completely worth it! Loved it so much, with many different shades of their personality as a group, highly recommend!

    Seriously we need to stop artists from releasing mediocre autotune yelling music. This was a horrible album. Why even bother releasing an album full of noise and yelling. Make it stop.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Only giving it one star just because they released something. The first problem is Pink Venom which has the same teddy sound their other music does. The song is also just 20 seconds of ratatat another repetitive lines. The rap sections of the song are cringey and full of blaccent in that is similar in sound to how nicki Minajraps and sounds when she talks. Shut down seems like a half hearted attempt to be nostalgic in the music video but the actual song is just Blackpink talking about the same shallow things; money, other girls copying them. The instrumental they sam and le in shut down is just the same thing over and over.its full of repetitive words that makes it get annoying really quick. The rap parts a not any better in this song either. The bsides to the album are all various degrees of dissatisfaction and no real musical evolution. The random solo thrown into the album seems like an odd choice and throws off the whole balance of the album. Not much of this album is worth listening to again.… Expand

    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

    was disappointed that there’s no artistic development. The album sounds like it was a last minute decision with scrapped old songs.

Lovesick girls was at least a fresh sound but shut down (and to not even speak about the mess pink venom was) was a big disappointment with messy production and lack of memorable and meaningful lyrics. It’s the same “we’re hot, rich and badass and you’re not” which is starting to become dull and is giving pick me. Not even the b-side is doing it for me. (happiest girl was cute but a snooze, the lyrics for typa girl were cringe, yeah yeah yeah was okay only because it sounded like a recycled aiiyl, thw rest was just… there) Had high expectations for “their biggest cb” with “the biggest mv budget” (which most definitely was a lie because the mv looked cheap) but the lack of growth in their music and artistry is disappointing. I expected better and they need to get rid of teddy and that sexist and racist writer danny chung.… Expand

    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.
