    With hits this tailored and successfully executed, the group’s roof-shattering popularity comes as no surprise in the least.

    There will be time for Blackpink to experiment—ideally in a full-length project. Until then, the women are deepening their brand of K-pop for a quickly growing, language-agnostic fanbase eagerly anticipating every fierce new beat drop.

    Though BLACKPINK can sing and dance with precision, the production of Kill This Love is also weirdly dated, like it was crafted earlier in the decade and then forgotten in a time capsule for five years.

    The Coachella performance really showcased how enjoyable this Extended Play could be.
    Hopefully the full studio album comes this year for the next step in BLACKPINK's growth.

They bring back the familiar vibrant yg production with edm and trap inspired instrumentals, but with a an extra focus on their vocal abilities.
    And the bonus track "Ddu-du-ddu-du remix" is an amazing concert-ready mix of their most popular song. Can't wait for the full album!

    BLACKPINK presents a worthy EP deserving of all success, the explosive track KILL THIS LOVE really catches the public on an ecstasy sensationBLACKPINK presents a worthy EP deserving of all success, the explosive track KILL THIS LOVE really catches the public on an ecstasy sensation not previously presented by the group in their work "SQUARE UP" and followed by the EP subtitle "Don't Know What To Do "captivates the audience with a joyful melody and lyrics that make us repeat the same track several times as if it were the first time.

    points cons: YG Ent. once again uses the practice of remixes not to deliver a complete album of these girls, I think he's afraid of them becoming bigger than he predicted for the group.
