    No hubo un cambio. Veo exactamente lo mismo que hace un par de años, es decepcionante como su musica no avanza y solo se van por lo comercial.

    It was a feeble effort to make a album and yet it wasn't even a full one. Dated songs that aged horribly. Something needs to change with their producer, because most of these songs are so repetitive and boring.

    Don't know what to do, my most favorite song from this mini album. Definently my favorite ep of Blackpink.

    'Dont Know What To Do' is just magical and the title track is literally an energetic song but lacks in something. The other tracks are great.

    The title track and single from the EP, ‘Kill This Love’, showcases the groups’ rap and vocal skills, accompanied by a trap fused EDM instrumental. The chorus relies on onomatopoeia rather than actual lyrics. However, this results in the song being more catchy than what it may have been.

The chorus relies on onomatopoeia rather than actual lyrics. However, this results in the song being more catchy than what it may have been.

    ‘Don’t Know What To Do’ acts as a polar opposite to the song that comes before it. A relaxed and chilled pop song, but doesn’t stray too far from BLACKPINK’s usual sound and structure to the point where you would think it is sung by somebody else.

    ‘Kick It’ continues this trend in genre from its predecessor, but appears to be more upbeat with the presence of a rap done by the rapper/dancer of the group, Lisa, in the second verse. ‘Hope Not’ is the last new track included on the EP, showcasing the groups’ vocal abilities and acts as an outro to the EP. It is the second ballad the group has ever released, but they have already mastered the sound of these songs.

    ‘Ddu-Du Ddu-Du (Remix)’ is the final track on the EP, and seems to be added just to make the project appear larger than it actually is. While the remix is good, it doesn’t seem necessary and actually feels out of place with the rest of the project. Maybe it would have fit in better if it were to be released at the same time as their last EP, where the original track can be found.

    Overall, it seems that, whilst the project is good, the group have played it extremely safe in releasing 4 new songs and a remix of their breakout hit in the western music market. It would be nice to see the girls take more risks and explore more styles with their music. After all, they’ve been a group for almost 3 years and have yet to release a full body of work.    … Expand

    EP certeiro nas escolhas. Músicas variadas e mostra o potencial do BP em se tornar o maior Girl group da atualidade.

    very underwhelming "music". disbanding 2ne1 for this fraud "music" group was a terrible business decision on yg's part. blankpink members are better off as instagram models and social media influenzas!

    Bored, they recycle moment after moment. His company only seeks to make money from his fans. Just by listening to this you can know this is one of the most generic music in kpop, trashy lyrics, same edm concept, not involving in their music production, all no.

    el ruido de la trompetas de KTL es irritante. kick it es una canción que carece de composición siendo muy sosa. Hope Not es decente, pero al estar un album tan malo no destaca, al contrario, solo se hunde con el resto porque las fans de estas chicas solo quieren musica sin sentido que grite "girls power" pero que todo detrás de las cámaras sea hecho por un tío obeso racista.

    Espero que da próxima vez antes de sumirem dos palcos para tirar foto, essas idols deixem muito material de qualidade para os fãs pararem de perseguir outros grupos, pois pelo visto, o fandom está necessitado de material e fica caçando outros idols.

    No creativity only repatitive not even good rap. Wish they actually invented time and put some lyrics in their songs. Boasting since day 1 without even achieving big stuff media play

    No comments....should this one be allowed to be labelled as a " music album"? Where's the music in this?...Expected from a fabricated group of ig influencers

    Two words: BORING and OVERHYPED
    Blackpink is one of those groups that really only has their company's marketing to back them up. All members are extremely mediocre, their music is tasteless and lyrics are lazy, they do not even try to form any special connection with their fans, just starve them of music so they'll eat up whatever trash they put out once in a blue moon

    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.
