BLACKPINK

Blackpink is in your area as Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa strut their stuff for "Shut Down" purposes.

[Born Pink World Tour](https://blackpinkofficial.com/worldtourbornpink/), set to kick off Oct. It also set a new single-day streaming mark by a female artist [on Spotify](https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/blackpinks-pink-venom-spotify-record-1235131074/) for 2022. [BLACKPINK](https://www.billboard.com/t/blackpink/) has already scribed its name in the history books on several occasions, and “Pink Venom” added a few more lines. 1 single debut for any K-pop artist in Australia. And, yes, they manage to stay safe and dry as greenbacks rain-down from above. [earlier in the week](https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/blackpink-shut-down-music-video-teaser-1235138390/), and is the followup to “Pink Venom,” which dropped in August.

After another long wait, Blackpink are back. 'Born Pink', the group's second studio album, comes after years of a somewhat irksome label strategy of hype-building: the group's releases are far apart for K-pop standards (their last was 'Lovesick Girls' ...

The former is a glittering synth-pop track that makes space for each member’s vocal persona. Lisa and Jennie stand out on the track with some of the best rap delivery we’ve ever seen from them, snarling over their swaggering verses with cocky charisma and power. The muttered chorus is a bit of a let-down, a clear grab towards the latest “anti-drop” trend in K-pop music structures.

It is their first record in two years — and faces the arduous task of following hit debut 'The Album'

Although the shows are not until January, the new album has given fans plenty of new material to get excited over until then. The Happiest Girl, the sixth song, is an emotional ballad that’s in English and features a soulful chord structure with light piano backing — something much different from the Blackpink fans are used to hearing. In the video, Blackpink make references to other music videos while singing: “When we pull up you know it’s a shutdown.” The song shows off her powerful vocals that prove why she was able to also have a successful solo career while the group took a hiatus between albums. It is the highest-selling album by a Korean girl group and the first to sell more than one million copies. Many fans have commented on social media that the track makes them nostalgic for an earlier time with its light but upbeat vibes, different from the more athematic tunes we’re used to hearing.

Blackpink released their first full-length album, The Album on Oct 2, 2020. Two years later, on Friday, the K-pop suuperstars dropped their second album, ...

In the music video for Shut Down, Blackpink face down the camera as they sing about their success and prowess. The music video references previous music videos — Jennie poses with the silver-armoured tank featured in their 2018 hit Ddu-Du Ddu-Du, while Jisoo takes a photo of herself in front of a screen also showing the same music video. "It's not a comeback since we've never left," raps Jennie in Korean at the start of the song.

The group releases their much-awaited second studio album 'Born Pink' with the music video for their single 'Shut Down'

Following the release of their album, the group is set to go on their Born Pink world tour, which kicks off on October 15. The tour is set to make a stop in Manila in March 2023. The eight-track record is the girl group’s second studio album, and contains their previously-released comeback single “Pink Venom.”

On September 16 KST, global girl group BLACKPINK made their long-awaited comeback with their new album 'BORN PINK' and the release of the music video…

Born Pink only barely qualifies as a full-length album; its eight songs are over in 25 minutes. This is exactly as it should be. Blackpink work best in short ...

Below, stream Born Pink and check out the insanely big-budget video for the catchy-as-fuck new single “Shut Down.” One shot in that video has a tank that’s covered in disco-ball mirrors, and then we never see it again. [The Album](https://www.stereogum.com/2100978/blackpink-the-album-review/columns/the-week-in-pop/). There’s a whole lot of corporate pop product out there in the world, but there’s precious little that bring the the kind of delirious mercenary energy that I hear in Blackpink’s music.

After waiting for the skip button to pop up, Dahyun pressed it to skip the ad. Dahyun began nodding her head to the beat and quickly explained that she doesn't have YouTube Premium and it was a YouTube ad.

[commented](https://theqoo.net/index.php?mid=hot&document_srl=2581931096), "This is so outstanding," "Wow, I love the song," "I am so impressed with the track, they used the sampling music so well and made it into BLACKPINK's," "I love it because it's a total hip hop track," "I didn't like it before but I listened to it three times and now I love it," "I am loving the song even from the intro," "This song is so hip," "I like 'Pink Venom' better," "This is much better than 'Pink Venom' in my opinion," "I think the song sound redundant because the same sampling melody repeats throughout the whole track," "I love Jennie's rap part and Jisoo low voice," and "I think 'Pink Venom' should have been the title track." [BLACKPINK](https://www.allkpop.com/artisttag/black-pink) finally dropped the 'Born Pink' title track "Shut Down" and returned to the music scene. The new title track creatively fuses the classic violin solo "La Campanella" by Niccolò Paganini with the group's signature hip-hop sound creating another signature BLACKPINK sound.

The tour will start in Seoul, South Korea, before bringing the group to the U.S. Through November and December, BLACKPINK will be in Europe, and in January, the band will go do several concerts in Asia before heading to the UAE, Australia and New Zealand. Their constant support always inspires me to aim for the better," she said. "We try to bring out the best outcomes by discussing our thoughts on music videos, outfits, choreography, and even the littlest details such as hair colors." Overall, the K-pop group's newest album is widely received, and fans and music critics are wondering if it has the chance to set a new record on Billboard's Main Album Chart "Billboard 200." As of now, only male K-pop groups have reached the number one spot, including

On Sept. 16, BLACKPINK dropped their new single "Shut Down," which is featured on their second full-length album, 'Born Pink.'

According to a translation by Soompi, Jennie said BLACKPINK discussed their new single in a Sept. “Catch me when you hear my Lamborghini go vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom.” “Heads turning, careful, you might break your neck/ Pink ice drip, drip, drip, freeze ‘em on sight,” Jennie raps, before Lisa boldly adds, “Bark, because the leash on your neck is mine.” The reason this piece was chosen for BLACKPINK’s new single was because it has a “dark and mysterious aura” that went perfectly with the song’s vibe. “Shut Down” is featured on

“A lot goes on behind the scenes of a reality TV show and you see isn’t always the whole story. But her time on the show was famously cut short due to her behavior towards one of the show’s contestants. In the credits for the album’s sixth track titled “The Happiest Girl”, Teddy Sinclair is credited as one of the composers and lyricist. And not just death threats for me, but for my family as well.” [Sinclair, however, did address the controversy in a 2018 interview with Paper](https://www.papermag.com/teddy-sinclair-2623212398.html?rebelltitem=66#rebelltitem66), three years after it happened. After contestant Joe Irvine’s performance, Sinclair alleged the singer of ‘copying her husband’s appearance’.

BLACKPINK spotlight vocals, bite at haters and flex over innovative productions on second full album 'Born Pink.'

The track represents not only the group, but personally connects with people from across the world. The production also blends hip-hop sounds with a traditional Korean instrumental geomungo (played in the accompanying music video) that sees the quartet representing their home country in multiple ways. We want to hear more from songwriter Jisoo and anticipate that anything she writes for her forthcoming solo project will be equally dynamic. What is it that I keep remembering?”) but ultimately want a crush to “just say yeah yeah yeah.” The bouncy, soaring dance breakdown in the chorus has us expecting this one to be a true highlight if the girls perform it on tour. Their beauty isn’t for the pleasure of anyone but themselves. Rosé opens up with the chorus, “I say f–k it when I feel it / Cause no one’s keepin’ ‘tally / I do what I want with who I like / I ain’t gon’ conceal it,” which feels comparatively revolutionary in the ever-safe K-pop scape. Six years into their careers, the ever-innovative BLACKPINK knew they needed to deliver something to shock an increasingly expanding and demanding fanbase. A reminder of the star’s true vocal prowess was previously seen in her excellent two singles, “On the Ground” and “Gone,” released last year, making us hungry for her next solo album. Instead, what stands out here are some of the group’s iciest lines to date: “I bring money to the table, not your dinner/ Both my body and my bank account could figure,” Jennie purrs on the first verse. Listen up for… Still, we know the girls have more in them than “Ready for Love” shows. Quickly, the quartet consisting of Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa created a global buzz among music fans wondering what they would come up with this time.

Blackpink Are Bold & Self-Referential On 'Born Pink'. The Pinks make the most of a scarce eight-song tracklist — but do they owe fans more?

For that reason, "Hard to Love" — a surprise solo entry from Rosé — is also a cathartic standout. Pop-rock hybrid "Yeah Yeah Yeah" is one of the album's high points. The earworm is a torrent of different melodies and sounds, from West Coast rap (the opening chant of the group's name mimics the drawl on Snoop Dogg's "I Wanna Rock") to anarchic EDM to the hypnotic plucking of the geomungo, a traditional Korean zither. The previously-released PUBG Mobile promotional song "Ready For Love" feels like a throwaway, as does the snoozy "The Happiest Girl," though that track provides the album with its sole piano ballad. That brand is best conveyed on the album's pre-release single, "Pink Venom." In the time since, the fierce foursome from YG Entertainment — Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa — have quite literally taken over the world, so much so that in the visual for the group's latest single "Shut Down," off their sophomore album Born Pink, Rosé finds herself back atop the globe in the same relaxed position.

Nearly two whole years after their first full album The Album, K-pop sensation Blackpink is back with another LP, titled Born Pink.

As tracks tend to blend in with one another, there’s just not enough to keep the listener well-fed and satisfied. They stay true to themselves in all facets of the record, showcasing both their pink and their black sides with grace. With each having merely eight songs, both records are over in the blink of an eye, and do not give listeners enough to go on. Last for the new tracks is Tally, a pop song with hip hop elements and a crisp guitar tone that gives it a more rock feel. Having Born Pink sign off with that out of all songs feels disappointing and anti-climactic, almost like receiving socks as a Christmas gift – it’s not bad per-se, but in your heart you expected something better. The gloomy and dark nature of the song is nicely complemented by the members’ brilliant vocals, who manage to well-translate the sentiments displayed in the lyrics. However, the refreshing guitar tone mixed with the bright vocals brings the production to a more refined and interesting climax, making it one of the stand-outs on Born Pink. And if you ask me, that’s where it should have stayed – on PUBG, away from the albums and away from us all. Switching gears in the record’s sound-lanes, we have a pop moment infused with retro synths and with a production reminiscent of 80’s music – Yeah Yeah Yeah. It doesn’t overpower the track, but creates a conspicuous underpin that keeps the main body of the song moving in the right direction. Continuing the saga of Blackpink songs that feel extremely Blackpink, we have Typa Girl, a trap/hip hop b-side on a unique organ motif with strong lyrics and an even stronger beat. But even aside from its catchy quality, the track is very interesting and intriguing, particularly production-wise.
