    Once again formulaic, only this time there was no continuity. Was hoping for something that was cohesive (like Nayeons IM NAYEON) and instead got this.

    well… what can I say.

    I liked “the album”, there were a few songs that I didn’t like but the ones I did like I like them a lot so it’s understandable to say I had expectations for some musical growth and I ended up really disappointed because there’s absolutely no growth, this album is more of the same formula blackpink have been using for SIX years but more boring, none of the songs made    well… what can I say.

    No evolution from the first album just more of the same. Was expecting much more from the press releases about "never been done before" some carchy parts but lacks any artistry or depth sonically or lyrically.

    for a group that talks about revolution, they are always in the same style of music. do not innovate the concept. for 2 years on hiatus, releasing a "Full album" of 8 songs is ridiculous.

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

    very boring and generic album. it feels like it was rushed, but then I searched how long was it in the making and saw that it was almost 2 years. no way this took 2 years. the songs sound boring and the lyrics are mostly dumb onomatopoeia.

    Honestly…. I have no words. I can’t believe we got this after 2 years and probably won’t get anything else until after the tour. Not to mention the contract renewal before it ends in 2023.

At this point they know the music is not what people are staying for, it’s their image. Just disband and become full time instagram influencers already because I am done.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I unstanned because of this disappointment. The main single Shut Down should’ve been called Let Down the way it crushed all of the hopes we accumulated over their hiatus of 2 years. The album is only 8 songs long with 2 being pre releases, and uninteresting ones at that. The rest are incomprehensible English songs speckled with a few Korean words. They all have the same I’m a boss **** with brand deals lyrics over a heavy edm/techno beat however which made it seem like they’re all the same song. Most of them are American artists’ rejects as well. There’s also a random English solo by the main vocalist which could’ve easily been on her album that was released last year. So in reality the album is 3-4 new songs :/ It feels like Blackpink lost their identity with this release and lost most of their fans too. Hopefully they disband soon and are freed from the shackles of their company.… Expand

    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

    In between the groups main writer and producer, Teddy, using his famed, archaic ‘Blackpink formula’, second hand, throwaway songs from western artists, which have had almost zero personal touches made to separate them from their origin into being a ‘Blackpink song’ and the rest of the album being generic, unremarkable songwriting, which could have been sung by any artist out there… I thinkIn between the groups main writer and producer, Teddy, using his famed, archaic ‘Blackpink formula’, second hand, throwaway songs from western artists, which have had almost zero personal touches made to separate them from their origin into being a ‘Blackpink song’ and the rest of the album being generic, unremarkable songwriting, which could have been sung by any artist out there… I think it’s fair to say that, as always, the excruciatingly long wait was not based on quality vs quantity, as much as it was a ploy to starve dedicated fans into being grateful for anything being released, regardless of the quality. As we’ve come to expect from Blackpink, this album is rife with the “I’m better than you” lyrics, which at this point are starting to seem like a desperate cry for validation that this is in fact the case, rather than it being a sure, yet cocky statement. We also have the ever present misogyny dressed up as empowerment and feminism. The “I’m not like other girls at all” (seriously, they use that exact line in the song ‘Typa Girl’) really just pushes this album into the murky depths of tearing other women down in order to lift themselves up.

    Sonically, the album is passable and generic at best, and at worst, is an example of questionable production, poor vocals and recycled, tired material. It sounds like it was thrown together in a couple of weeks, a month at most. It is certainly not a great product to come out of a whole two years of inactivity. Maybe avid fans can reach to the heavens, and wring out something positive from ‘Born Pink’ due to it being the only offering they’ll likely get for another couple of years. However, from the perspective of an unbiased music lover, I must say, this is a way below average release and possibly one of the most disappointing albums I’ve heard in a long time.    … Expand

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؟!

    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

    These reviews seem a little biased to me. Listening to the album all I could think of is the lack of character or depth it had.

You don’t listen to it and think “ah yes it all makes sense they’re born pink” no because the title gets you excited for a poorly executed album. Very disappointing overall and just feels insincere which is a shame for a group that is supposed to claim the “best girl group” and to be the “revolution”. The only revolutionary thing about this album is how incredibly disappointing it is with nothing to stand out except maybe “happiest girl” which by itself I found out was an unreleased song for another artist and that sounded exactly like that demo with no changes or personal touches, but it still sounds the best between all records unfortunately.… Expand

    I mean honestly. There is no growth or maturing with their albums. No direction into the future nor do I expect things to change. 6 years into their career and this album is nothing special. The lead track fails to capture or prove why they are so popular. Popularity doesn't always mean good music. I am so disappointed

    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.

    the album, for the lack of word, is messy as always. the title track "shut down" used sample from campanella but instead of utilizing it creatively, they just keep use the same run repeatedly that just kills the entire vibe of the song. the b-sides features their vocals and an attempt to explore different genres but unfortunately, the mid-level production is clearly evident. in gwneral,the album, for the lack of word, is messy as always. the title track "shut down" used sample from campanella but instead of utilizing it creatively, they just keep use the same run repeatedly that just kills the entire vibe of the song. the b-sides features their vocals and an attempt to explore different genres but unfortunately, the mid-level production is clearly evident. in gwneral, born pink suppose to introduce the listeners to the "new" blackpink sound but failed.… Expand

    As a blonk since 2019, I have to admit, this album is trash. I developed permanent ear damage after listening to Jisoo's dying goat voice and my fave nasalist's, Rosé's vocals. Someone should donate her a vicks because I fear her nose is clogged permanently. I have to admit, my faves tanked and and they should disband.

    'Born Pink' feels more like an 'album' made to break a few records and please a few fans, as well as a rehash of an already used structure misused and where the songs are not entirely original.

    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.
