    Blackpink just shined this comeback. Teddy Park continues to give us the powerful lyrics and music. Different from Ddu-du-ddu-du, title track of previous EP Square Up, where blackpink showed up as the “I don’t care” girls, in Kill this Love they show the desire to end for good the toxic love that has been under them.

Different from Ddu-du-ddu-du, title track of previous EP Square Up, where blackpink showed up as the “I don’t care” girls, in Kill this Love they show the desire to end for good the toxic love that has been under them. The next song is Don’t know what to do. The sub-title song is different from the EP main song. Blackpink show themselves as girls which after a break up feel weak to continue. The rappers of the group Jennie and Lisa, show their amazing vocal skills. If the two first songs were made for both Korean and international markets, Kick it, the third song of the EP, is made for the US market. The song starts with Jennie’s mini-rap. After the Demi Lovato-Jessie J kind of chorus, comes the full-english rap of Thai singer, Lisa. Not too easy and yet not harsh, the rap is a try-not to sing along part, like most of the song. The english bridge in the end of the song is the highlight of the song and makes Kick it perfect. The EP takes another side on its fourth song, Hope not. A slow ballad which shows the vocal side of all four of the group. The iconic ‘For You, but you’ and the only Korean chorus in the whole EP make Hope not the second, wonderful ballad of Blackpink (after the 2016’ Stay). Then comes the remix of the previous hit Ddu-du Ddu-du. For my opinion, this is the only track that is kind of skip, and it's clearly because it's a remix. The removed traditional-Korean music in the end and Rose’s bridge make it a lower level than the previous tracks, but it’s a perfect song for a party on fire. The EP has songs for all moods: break-up mood, falling in love mood, happy, sad and party mood.… Expand

    The fact that they have something big, and also something so basic of the simple EP and maddening. I see a lot of flaws in their totally basic productions and compositions, except the single music, which draws attention strongly. I hope they have more space, to make something less commercial and totally mature, there are good things within all this but needs to be reviewed when it makes better.

    Aunque a algunos haters le duela aceptarlo, el álbum es muy bueno, mejora la distribución de lineas entre las 4, muestra unos ritmos diferentes y apasionados, además tiene una gran canción sentimental, lo único negativo seria poner un remix de alguien ajeno al grupo, no es bueno para la producción y para el álbum en si.

    La calidad lo vale, siempre se tardan en sacar nuevo material , pero es porque exigen calidad. De nada sirve tener comebacks 2 veces al año y sacar puro mugrero. Blackpink ha hecho un buen trabajo y espero sus futuras canciones.

    The 4 new songs are so good and the remix too. I really like the lyrics of the songs, especially 'Kick it' and 'Kill this love', and the harmony that 'Dont know what to do' and 'Hope not' have. And about DDDD, we know it's a total bop and the remix is ​​too

    The album presents consistency in the quality of the production following the tendency from the previous BLACKPINK's releases but still has a distinctive sound, making it remarkable and easily recognizable. From fierce rap verses to gentle vocals, from fast and empowering beats to slow heart-touching melodies there's something for every taste.

    I love their past album(Square Up) and I love this one too that exudes more female empowerment but still has meaningful and captivating songs

    Yall know that Blackpink's had been known for their girl crush concepts but this one's such a kicker tbh. Even though Kill This Love wasn't as much hyped as their previous DU-DDU-DU-DDU, this is not as tiring to listen to unlike to DDDD.

    This album is absolutely fire! I loved every song! As you can tell, the 50 people who left negative reviews are fans of BTS that hate seeing another group do better than their faves. If you check their profiles, you can see that they rated this song with a 0 and rated BTS' albums with a 10. What kind of fandom does that? Shame on the ARMY fandom for being sexist to successful women.

    Cabe mencionar que no me gusta mucho el K-Pop, y menos sacando un EP, mejor la hubieran guardado para su nuevo álbum. Pero les pondré 5, sigan así BlackPink

    The single 'Kill This Love' is truly the only song who saved the album, because the rest is just... too bland. YG should invert more on their music production, and also on letting the girls write their own music.

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

    Kill This Love ... showcases a band who are certainly talented but perhaps not quite ready for the next upward arc in the ride they’re currently on.

    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.
