FIRST LISTEN - BLACKPINK - 'Kill This Love' Mini Album

[@anthonytoo]

ok here's the album reaction sorry i forgot to make this public earlier lol. my fav song is don't know what to do, or kick it. i'm not sure yet. d4 remix im sad :/

[@Nikki-jh1qf]

My favorite is don’t know what to do and though kick it is a good song it has to be my least favorite out the four new songs

[@phamthiphuongmai473]

Oh really 🤔 I found that remix was so lit 😂😂😂

[@lailalisa945]

Yes i agree ..the remix for 4d is disappoint us.kick it is my favourite too.

[@barsadebbarma4569]

3 slow songs, with a title track that is slow at parts as well, and a hideous unnecessary remix in a mini album was bound to be meh from the start. What were they thinking, these songs are good no doubt, but that's about it, just these songs with an average title track won't cut it. Had it been a full album with other upbeat songs, it would have made for a more versatile album, and also easier for the people to handle this new direction for the group. I know they have more songs, they release a predebut song every album. But regardless my girls are back so best believe I am going to get turnt up on the album. Teddy needs some rest to be very honest.

[@paige-yq2eh]

this album was very different for bp, they don’t have a lot of slower songs so i found the ep very refreshing. we really do need a full album tho, i’m left craving more.

[@nikolaiquack8548]

I'm actually not so sure about that. I mean, it doesn't exactly sound like their other songs, but Hope not for example gives me strong Stay vibes, especially with the "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah". It has kind of a county feeling tbh., and Kick it reminds me of Forever Young...sadly not the good part, though. I do think it's an overall improvement, but they really just need to get out of the YG dungeon.

[@romieonfilm]

Nikolai Quack ofc it doesn’t sound like the sound we’re used to, and that’s why ppl don’t like it. but that’s exactly what we wanted as blinks. a different style. and i’m completely satisfied with it.

[@nikolaiquack8548]

@@romieonfilm I don't think you got what I was trying to say at all. I was indicating that it actually does kind of sound like the typical Black Pink sound. That's why I was comparing these songs to some of Blackpinks earlier music and it makes perfect sense if you think about it. Pretty much all of Blackpinks music, including this mini album has been produced by Teddy, so of course it will sound kind of similar.

[@j.4729]

@@nikolaiquack8548 I think what you mean is a vibe this whole album really gives out yg vibe especially don't know what to do reminds me a lot of bigbang which is not a bad thing, of course hope not's gonna remind us of stay, the only slow song they had, but yeah I really think yg needs to let the girls produce their own songs or at least let other producers do it teddy has been doing great but I think its time for something new as well

you’re right, rosé is from australia! and jennie is from new zealand. my favorite b-side is dont know what to do for sure (or is it a sub-title track? i’m not sure lol) but i think my favorite will change a few times cuz i love all of them so much. like lisa’s all english rap in kick it (i think that’s the song, fml if i’m wrong lol). i love that lisa sings in DKWTD and they all sound amazing on this track. the other songs are amazing too, i really like this ep. in the last song, drums for the last chorus would’ve been so much better. cam, another youtuber i think you know abt him, said it should’ve been like the last chorus on the truth untold by bts where the vocals went all out and the instrumental got all powerful and it was just amazing. i agree with you, i wish they had this kind of singing in the title track. i love the singing in LKTL but i kinda wanted more if that makes sense. as for the DDDD remix, i’m not sure how i feel about it so i can’t really say anything lmao. with the formula thing, the order of the beginning of their songs, i think it has happened before but it’s very obvious in this era. i don’t have a problem with it but i wonder if there’s a reason most of their songs are like that?

i've seen a lot of people complaining that the songs on this album are too slow (not saying that you did), but honestly I don't get it. blackpink are SINGERS! they finally got to express a different side and show off their vocal ability on these songs. not everything has to be a big beat drop or hype song cause honestly thats boring after a while. this album was refreshing (except d4 remix ugh) and im glad they got to show off their voices.

[@itiraa5502]

Agreed... I like this mini album more than the previous one. This is new and refreshing from blackpink

[@anthonytoo]

i feel that but do you feel as if they got to show off their voices properly in these songs?

[@very_cherryx]

anthony too I personally think it does. Do I think the songs themselves could’ve been arranged a little better ? Yea definitely. I wasnt feeling the chanting chorus parts in some of them, etc. but rosé really got to shine in this album as main vocal with her high notes and range. So did jisoo. And as much as I like rap, i really appreciated that there was a lack of rap, and that Jennie and Lisa got to show that they can be on the same level as the vocal line when given the chance. Do I think is album is better than Square Up? No, I personally don’t, but I really really liked that they got to express their talents here. At the end of the day it all just depends on your own personal music taste

I mean, a song has a lot of components which includes the Production, Lyrics, and the Artists themselves. I just don’t get why other ppl doesn’t like this album :/ the Lyrics are so good n relatable n they were able to show off more of their Vocal ability in this album. I mean even my Bias n Jennie (the rappers) can sing. I just don’t get why some of y’all are expecting a really “hard” production in every song of Blackpink. It’s not like they’re gonna stick with that kind of Genre the whole time of their career. But then again, everybody has different tastes in music so I really don’t have the right to contradict with ur opinions.

[@dejaned.9988]

I agree with a lot of what you said. Honestly I was kinda disappointed with this mini album. The songs are good but I wanted them to be better. Like I completely agree with when you said they needed a build up or drums around 2 mins on Hope Not. And I was not feeling the DDDD remix at all. But I can say that their voices sound great on every song.

[@dejaned.9988]

Akhmal Aizat you’re right I have high expectations. They are one of my favorite groups and one of the biggest groups in the world and released only 5 new songs. I expected every single one to be amazing and it just wasn’t for me. The girls vocals/rap were really good with what they were given. I think the production of the music could have been better.

[@Nikki-jh1qf]

Loved the ep (besides the D4 remix cause that could have been a new song), but wished Jennie got to show more of her rap potential, but besides that all the members vocals were amazing and glad that Jisoo and Lisa was able to show more of that

Title song was supposed to be the most generic song in the album that could capture everyone's liking at least. The rest of the songs in the mini album could be pretty risky to be put in as title track honestly. It may or may not be of the general public's liking in comparison to ktl. That's why listening to the whole album does matter. Imo But their vocals in this album could've shut haters up already 🔥

Love your reaction! I agree that D4 remix is quite disappointing. The remix did nothing for me, personally. I would have much preferred another song. :/ Anyway, I feel that "Kill This Love" MV, visuals, rap parts and vocals are amazing. The girls really executed the new concept well. And the message they are trying to portray through the MV is actually quite deep. Check out this MV theory/analysis: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKOWqIR-f7KcZpI "Don't know what to do" is my favorite song in the mini album as of now. Looking forward to seeing the live performances of "Kill This Love" and "Don't Know What to Do" on Korean music shows and the dance practice videos. I'm also looking forward to the next Blackpink album that YG said he would release sometime this year.

[@ubiquitous_star584]

They definitely need a new producer. I honestly feel like Teddy is getting a bit bored with creating such repetative songs. Also the fact that he's their only producer is why they barely release any music. The man can only do so much.

[@teddythegodproducermaid4374]

Teddy created almost ALL their songs from square 1 up to KTL and all of that was a bop and successful. WHO ARE YOU to disrespect Teddy by saying BP needs a new producer when it's all Teddy's doings that made blackpink this successful? Y'all complain that bp only focuses on heavy drops and raps but now that they have an album which focuses on their vocalis ya'll still complaining. SMH

[@teddythegodproducermaid4374]

I get your point tho that the arrangements of the songs can be improved but hey it's Teddy. Nobody knows what's going on on that genius's mind. Atleast bp didn't follow the same formula that MOST kpop groups have rn. It's refreshing and creative at the same time.

Of course he should coninue to write them songs, but yg needs another producer that will 1, make more songs so the girls have more than 4 an album and 2, bring something new to the table.

I honestly liked this album I loved “Hope not” since the only song they had like it was “stay” on the other hand I do agree that hey could’ve put another song instead of the remix, because the remix wasn’t getting to me either.

[@FeyPrevesk]

This is a much more emotional album than previous have been, but it's still so amazingly good. 💖💖💖💖 The albums feel like a good progression to me, with the early ones having a very optimistic almost naive vibe, very youthful, and very upbeat, then came the girl power, on top of the world phase, and now we're at a more mature, emotional phase with "Kick It" and "Kill This Love" feeling like the a bad relationship coming to an end and "Don't Know What To Do" and "Hope Not" feeling like the grieving and beginning of recovery afterward. I feel like "Kick It" is the point where they realize a relationship isn't working because their partner is controlling or such and they're saying "hey, you can't control me, I'm my own person", " Kill This Love" is the end of the relationship and the breakup, probably with advice from friends, with "we've got to kill this love, it's sad but true. We've got to kill this love before it kills you, too". " Don't know what to do is the grieving after, the realization that you're alone fully hitting you, trying to figure out how to rebuild yourself without this person you loved in your life. "Hope Not" feels like the later stages of grief to me, wondering if you were right in ending things, wondering if being with the person you loved might be been worth the pain involved, but ultimately accepting that you really weren't right for each other and hoping they find happiness anyway, even if it's not with you. My favorite song is "Hope Not". It's such a beautiful song and a drastic departure from BLACKPINK's previous work, but not every song needs to be upbeat, not every song needs a buildup and a drop. Sometimes you just need an amazing ballad, and I absolutely love it and this album. As for the remix, it's a remix. Remixes don't generally add much, just change things, and that's what this one did, changing the whole feel of the song to a much more dance-y/club kind of vibe. I was a bit disappointed it dropped the end bit on first listen, but after a few listens I can see how it wouldn't really fit into the feel of the remix as well as it did the original. I feel like a lot of the people disappointed by this album were really expecting and hoping for more of the same upbeat, super hype style that BLACKPINK has done quite a bit in the past. I really think people will appreciate it more once they've given it a few listens and given time for the initial shock of the departure from form from their more recent work that this is to wear off and start to see the songs more for themselves and less for what they're not. I'd love to see a full length album as much as everyone else, and I'm hoping this album paves the way for future albums to have a much wider range to them, with room for upbeat songs like "Forever Young" and "As If It's Your Last", badass songs like "DDU-DU DDU-DU" and "Kill This Love", and ballads like "Stay" and "Hope Not."

I like “Kill this love” because it shows their hip-hoppish style.And “Dont know what to do” because they blessed us with their vocals. I love “Kick it” too.I just can’t with Lisa’s singing voice.🥰💜💕

[@bellamarie8764]

honestly i feel like yg just isn’t trying hard enough they have SO much potential to try new and unique sounds especially since blackpink are so big it’s easier because they’re less likely to flop whereas if they were small it’s different. i’ve heard better songs coming from smaller girl groups but i still like the album it’s just a let down especially since we’ve waited so long

[@briannaa2784]

yep you're right Rose is Australian XD

[@ynelypelez5979]

Please can you react to Eurovision 2019 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@japzvlogs4366]

Rosé is from NEW ZEALAND she is HALF KOREAN HALF AUSTRALIAN She's real name is park chaeyoung

[@nefeli7232]

They don't need the big drop that you guys are talking about because they are trying a different kind of concept.... They always say that Blackpink go for a black concept so they went for pink...

[@ssd930]

of course they don't need a big drop but for me personally the production is very lacking, it feels empty. their vocals really shine and they sound great but people are allowed to be disappointed when they wait for almost for a year for a comeback and then get stuff that for them doesn't grab them

[@mami11420]

It’s a no for me, they’re talented as fuck and deserve better. Fans will like it or not and also force themselves to listen for numbers. Idc about numbers, I want the music and passion. I didn’t get much of that from this album sadly. Lyrics were really on point at least and I love lyrics that are relatable. Maybe next comeback? Folks keep talking about Coachella and that crap isn’t for me and maybe that’s why but seriously... THEY DESERVE BETTER because they are able to do so damn much with the talents they possess.

[@AoiAme225]

Tbh honest the only songs I really liked from this album were 'don't know what to do' and 'kick it' but I'm still happy they got a comeback I guess😊

[@Lea2PRiNGLES]

Dddd remix basically is fore Coachella because hmmm

[@BlackRose-ir2fj]

Dont know what to do is a nice song...but the feeling is plain. It just a laid back song. U got to know...YGE is having a hard time right now. And YGE put Blackpink having a comeback in this moment is crucial to YGE. All eyes are with BP and YGE. BP had to comeback more strong and powerful. Ur likeness is subjective. But why YGE choose that song as a title track...its only because BP are capable of doing it. Kill this Love is straight forward lyrics...their music is like giving statement...this is BLACKPINK. Kill This Love focus on their raps and vocal this time. U may call Dont know what to do and Dalla Dalla from Itzy might with the same par...but to choose Dont Know What To Do as the title track or Kick It for their comeback not going to give them more impact after their successful comeback with 4D. All songs of this EP Blackpink album are considered worth to be the title song (exclude remix 4D because its only remix) because YGE is all about quality. But YGE chose KTL for this comeback giving more hype and impact than 4D and its proven.

[@yahyaatifbutt4799]

Why yo look like Jimin sometime

[@yenyengamz1822]

hahaha agree

[@TriceeXO]

YES. I feel like Kill This Love’s chorus was also empty and that it needed the chorus like Dont Know What To Do. The subtitle track is better for me too compared with the title track. Lol

[@anotherchannel8122]

The only song that I didn’t really like is the DDU-DU DDU-DU remix , they really didn’t need it

[@aMMaRoXx]

YG waited too long to showcase BlackPinks key vocals. The girls are awesome and should've been able to experiment beforehand. Stay is still the queen of the BP revolution imo, I'm honestly sad for those who didn't appreciate that one. Thnx for checking out the album Ant! I'm not gonna comment about DDD remix, thats an automatic skip lol

[@muhridwan2129]

wow u sound like no.1 music critic

[@tharushix2983]

Muh Ridwan hes open minded but not blindly supportive, which is one of the reasons his reactions are my faves, cause they’re honest 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@gpklmni6873]

This album didn't reach my expectations...I didn't like KTL at all and in general it felt...rushed, not well thought or produced.

[@jenrubykim3529]

I believe KTL is like the experimental album YG producers had made. Unpolished and some parts are lacking. Compared to Square Up and KTL, definitely Square Up is on another level. KTL tracks are like those nearly on reject songs lmao. Even Kill This Love track, I ain't feeling it too much. Too much hiphop than DDDD. Hope their next album will be more on groove/dance genre or more on pop/trap/party etc. and not hiphop anymore.

[@yue_river]

ngl i'm kind of surprised by how much you disliked dx4 remix as it's pretty much the only thing i find listenable on the ep (with maybe the exception of hope not) but hardstyle isn't everybodys thing so i can understand that. this whole ep was not it and i feel like since pwf and aiiyl their music has been going downhill. i really disliked square up too but at least it's title was catchy anyways i hope they can get themselves together

[@hahehehoho1271]

ROSÉ was born in New Zealand and grew up in Australia. She got aussie accent.

[@johnpaulfabro492]
