₊˚ʚ ᗢ₊˚✧ ゚. kinda sad that you always been like that, see me making waves and you don’t like that
Tis the year 2016, where future global sensation BLACKPINK released its single album “Square One” with Whistle and Boombayah
These songs are a banger, they always were iconic, and will continue to be iconic. In my respected opinion, I liked Whistle a bit more than Boombayah, maybe that's because whistle was a bit more of the calmer counterpart of Boombayah.
Then in november of the same year, “Square Two” was released, with the tracks “STAY” and “Playing with fire” which, kinda had a mixed feeling from a few BLINK’s
Some BLINK’s said that STAY was a bad song for a group like BLACKPINK, but I beg to disagree. STAY was just an experimental song for the girls, which was a sucess, in my opinion. To keep it simpler, if BLINK’s can like Tally and The Happiest Girl then STAY isn’t an exception.
We all know how well Playing With Fire did, so it’s pretty self explanatory. But my humble opinion is STAY & Playing With Fire were my typa songs fr. (That was before the Album came out)
Now we have moved onto the year of 2017, where our girls released the single “As if it’s your last”
As if it’s your last felt like a sequel to Boombayah, in terms of Song style and MV making. But nontheless a great song. I liked the highschool typa outfits the girls wore, and Rose’ s red hair was bomb, and you can’t deny that.
2018, where things slowly started to change for the girls as “SQUARE UP” was released (hey, if BLACKPINK were to teach maths, I’m pretty sure all the students would get A1 honors)
Now, SQUARE UP consisted of 4 songs
DDU-DU DDU-DU - The modern musical masterpiece that they released. I liked the slightly more rock beats in this song, and the MV making felt so luxury compared to their tomboy style MV’s.
Forever Young - This song started the famous BP Tagline “BLACKPINK IS THE REVOLUTION” so this was 1 of the game changing songs for the girls and for the BLINK’s.
Really - This is more of a hip-hop kinda song, embedded with that BLACKPINK style that we all really love.
See U later - My personal fav. No changing that. Jisoo’s vocals in this are insane.
2019, AKA “THE YEAR OF THE REVOLUTION” for BLACKPINK, as they headlined Coachella.
Now this year has given us an ep (but I kinda wanted more…) but a good EP.
Kill this Love contains
Kill This Love - First post breakup get together typa song from the girls, so a different typa sound.
Don’t Know What to Do - I feel like its a song most teenagers would like alot in terms of the beats and lyrics, as it shows that teenage phase of life where we all have that 1 guy we like and obsess over.
Kick It - A more calmer post breakup in denial song like Kill this love. I wish it had an MV tho.
Hope Not - It’s kinda giving Rose’s HTL, but a group version, as the concept of both the songs is really similar, only the song style is different.
2020, where the covid pandemic began to rise, and our girls rose with their 1st studio album “THE ALBUM” which went viral for the title track, HYLT
The Studio Album consists of
How You Like That - Another Post Breakup song, but this time, its about how the girl gets up and out from it.
Ice Cream - That 1 flirty song featuring Selena Gomez. I liked the style of it as it was really different from whistle and boombayah, and didn’t feel as experimental as STAY was.
Pretty Savage - Now this is an interesting song as it kinda reflects on a more personal story of the girls. It’s like a diss track to their antis about the assumptions their antis have about them.
Bet U Wanna -This is more like another flirty song, I’m happy were seeing flirty songs from the girls as it shows they know both positives and negatives of a relashionship.
Lovesick Girls - This song are about girls who had one-sided loves and ended up being killed by it. Jennie passes in a car crash, Rose in a tub of BLACK ink, and Lisa from a building. Jisoo was the only one who didn’t have a lover, but she was unable to save the other girls, thus attempting to drown herself, but failed.
Crazy Over You - This song talks about a girl who obsessed with the guy she likes, but the guy is kinda chill w her, which makes the girl obsess over her more.
Love to Hate Me - Again, a one-sided love in which the guy hates the girl & the girl finally sees it.
You Never Know - This is also a personal song for the girls, as it reflects the true environment of what goes on behind the screens of the k-pop world.
2022 shortly after covid decreased by alot, things were getting better for everyone, and BLACKPINK came out with second studio album BORN PINK, before going on their second world tour.
The second studio album consists of
Pink Venom : The MV for this I loved, as it was a continuation to lovesick girls, where Jisoo uses dark magic to bring back her deceased friends. Jennie comes back in a much bigger, stronger car, Lisa on the ground floor of the building she fell from, Rose’ in black ink. But the song however didn’t feel like a usual BLACKPINK song, and didn’t really hit the mark for some people. It wasn’t bad, but compared to their other songs, it wasn’t as great.
Shut Down - This was a song that showed how far the girls have come on their journey w YG entertainment, as it has references to their old mv scenes, and the BLACKPINK in your area, was finally brought back.
Typa Girl - This was a song that showcased the girls standards when it comes to having a relationship, and I liked this song alot.
Yeah Yeah Yeah - This song talks about how a silly meetup lead to a happy relationship from both sides, which is a new song style from the girls.
Hard To Love - This song talks about the insecurities a girl has when it comes to one-sided relationships, which I have only seen in english songs.
The Happiest Girl - This song revolves around another post breakup, showcasing the fact that 1 breakup isn’t the end of the world, and that they can always try again.
Tally - This is again another diss track towards their antis, showing that from this point on, they’ll do whatever, whenever and with whoever, being IDGAF to their antis.
Ready For Love - A post-breakup glowup song, in which the girl has become ready to find a new love and to write a new story.
Overall, I’d rate BLACKPINK’s discography a 7/10. The reason is because while they release good songs, having only 2 full albums in a span of 7 years is pretty low for a group as big as BLACKPINK, which I feel the error falls on YG Ent. for not managing the girls properly. The girls not renewing their solo contract is complete proof of that. They got much more solo activities after being free from YG Ent, so I hope the amount of group releases increase at a steady rate, and lots of love for the girls future endeavors!
