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 :/
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
@@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
I m not hating but I just wanna clarify. Some blinks on twitter are telling it's #1 on the main US iTunes and some are telling it's #1 in the kpop genre. Can someone please help me with this? And again I am not hating.
I like your honest reactions. Too many kpop reactors just fake being positive to get subscribers and it's really off-putting. Every reaction I've watched by you is exactly on point. I only watch your, dkdktv, and form of therapy reactions because you guys seem the least biased.
I agree 100%!! I wish I could like this multiply times lol. I literally only watch those 3 reactors as well. I feel like they're the only 3 not afraid to say how they really feel , which I really respect.
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?
@@nic-dz6hi It's not the same difference...Jennie is def FROM Korea...going somewhere to study for a few years isn't the same as being from somewhere... as opposed to Rosie and Lisa who truly from other cultures... (even though Rosie is Korean by DNA)...
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.
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
As an australian, her accent wasn't really australian it was just the kind of diction she used when she was singing but you can definitely hear it when she talks tho!
teddy, their producer whose done all of their songs, is tired tbh he does the same formula for every song and i guess it works but they could be doing so much more musically than what they are if they worked with different producers and like actually released music like an actual group nnn
sometimes its good to go out of the comfort zone and i just cant wait for the day they will release an album not entirely from teddy, its good to have variety
@@ncfinest3610 Maybe because Jenny was sleepwalking through performances since last year or maybe even earlier? And who could blame her, if all of their music sounds the same and all of their dance moves are so similar. If I had to do the same 3-4 dances every damn time, I'd go insane.
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.
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.
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
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.
I feel like most of these songs are more tailored for their upcoming arena tour. Production wise i feel like it was kept rather empty in some parts and done on purpose to allow them to shine on stage will less backtrack assistance.
As always, good reaction. You know, not everything is about huge ass bass drop. For me, these songs are perfect. It is not weird if it's not mainstream, it is just refreshing, unexpected, and surprising.
nah it’s not all about a big bass drop- i never said that’s all the song was - though i feel as if some of the drops or progression of the songs were better i’d like them more. just an opinion 😆
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 🔥
I personally really like the new songs and the slower pace but I respect your opinions and yeah we should have got a full length album but that’s YG for in my opinion one of the most worst company’s cuz he just lets his talented artist rot 🤦♀️
Jennie was born in SK but studied abroad in New Zealand, Rosé was born in Auckland, New Zealand but raised in Australia. They both obtained a accent since they moved there real young. One is an real new zealandian and the other is not but also from there. 😂
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 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.
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: ruclips.net/video/2r3wQHJMi00/видео.html "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.
Choice songs in this mini album are new - seems like were tailored for their tours. It ain’t always heavy drop or fast paced but a variety of songs they can showcase.
okay subbed. I really appreciate you being honest. I literally heard a reaction channel say "omg the drop and pay off [for Kill This Love] was amazing!" and I was like "oooookay so we just lying." I enjoy BLACKPINK but being a fan doesn't mean you can't criticize something. And it's not really even going at the girls since they don't seem to really be involved in the creation of the music. It's the selections and choices from the company that they made...after making us wait how long and it's ANOTHER EP and one of the tracks is literally a remix... Basically, please stop acting like you're the House of Stark and anyone with some criticism is the House of Lannisters.
its okay anthony, im not really feeling this album too, i didn’t expect that album will come like this, it sounds kinda lazy.. sorry its my opinion but i like i don’t know what to do better than the title track song
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.
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
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.
@@teddythegodproducermaid4374 Im not complaining about Teddy. I agree that he's made great music for Blackpink but my point is, is that there is only so much creativity he has. 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. Honestly theyre such a diverse group that there is many genres they could be doing, but Teddy only knows how to do so much.
Im the only one that TEDDY choose them to debut to handle? Like i can't feel that YHS holds them. Its all depends on TEDDY and also they didn't allow any man to talk or even closed for them.
Thanks for sharing your honest opinion. This is so rare now among bunch of all those fake positive reactors And yes, in Hope not was missing this strong emotional instrumental drop at the end.
never thought i would say this but square up was better, and you know what I noticed? blackpink is kinda like a blockbuster group, that's the best description for them! they're super popular, they're cute, they're talented and they can entertain us but that's all! they release a catchy single and an "album" full of fillers (like most groups do, but since they're popular they're the best example of it lol). you can bop to their songs and all but like... there's something missing? they're not musically interesting? it's sad because that's how most companies sell their girlgroups except for sm, red velvet, f(x), snsd all of them have amazing albums, most of them with no skips! and another gg with an amazing discography is wonder girls, reboot is in the top 3 best kpop albums of all time, easily! you should keep an eye on loona too because their bsides are incredible. btw, ktl is better than d4 in my opinion 🙃
I dont know why but I feel sad bcoz a lot of people are saying that this mini album is not good.. But blackpink work very hard on this album... They can't please all the people In The world bcoz everyone has theirs own taste and for me this mini album was a great... They worked hard on this I appreciate my queens hardwork..... And haters if u don't like their music then don't watch it....... 👍
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.🥰💜💕
I loved that they were really singing in this EP but only 4 new songs??? I feel so bad for the BlackPink because they deserve soooo much better. YG really doing them dirty smh
I think there is a lot of really amicable discourse happening in this comments section and I’m really happy about that. I love the album! I think it’s refreshing and different but I totally understand where a lot of you are coming from. It’s hard to satisfy everyone’s preferences in the first place, and I think they could switch up producers soon, too. The arrangements could be better, but the vocals by all four saved it and honestly I love it. The songs are catchy. I think the hardest part is the lack of a full album! If we had more songs we could get more vocal-centric songs, harder songs with a beat drop, some rap heavy music, slow songs, etc. we just need more! We wouldn’t feel so deprived then and keep hoping for something else from the 3-4 songs that we get
I subscribed because i love your reactions and you actually pay attention to the videos also because you had the 🇦🇸 flag in one of your vids, im not sure if it was you or not but yeah lol
My personal thought: Their MV never disappoints. For this album thought, I’m not feeling the songs. The vibe is too agressive, like it feels forced, except Hope not which I found was the song which highlighted their voice best!
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
why release it in a single album (don't even call mini album it's too short) that people are waiting for pretty close to a year? could have done a whole new song
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...
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
Give YG the fault He doesn't let Blackpink Work with a diffrent producer but the Album was new from them d4 was a waste for a New Song. BUT THEY NEED ALBUM
I actually like this album because I feel like it goes with kill this love to show stages after a breakup or showing emotions u go through after u break up with somebody just my opinion
Most of the songs were written by bekah boom who had anxiety and depression because of her husband cheated on her when they just had a baby. So it's kinda understandable how most of the songs are slow.
well seeing how the album is supposed to be about being heartbroken going through the stage of not knowing what to do and just being stuck and depressed and then finally over coming it and finding yourself i think we can let it slide the softer drops of the songs lol
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
I love your reaction and how honest it is The song is good but kinda weird to be real. My fave is Kick It lmao I don’t really feel the ddu du remix it’s really meh for me we could have another new song instead and it would be awesome and we know they’re recording A LOT of stuff there’s one song come from their predebut but whatever I take what I can from YG 😂
I respect your opinion but I actully love the mini album. The side tracks have this slower and balled sounds which I been waiting for. Since stay was their only ballad song. And i like the fact that their showing their vocals especially lisa and jisoo. I wish they would show jennie potential in her rapping but I'm glad that lisa rap. Overall I'm disappointed at yg for not letting the girls have a full album. And not letting them to produce and write their songs since they have potential in making their own songs
Your reaction for the remix was the same as mine! I knew it was gonna be something like this so I refused to listen to it when the album dropped but you know I wantsd to give a chance but nope! It didn't work out 🙃🙃 We could have literally gotten a new song fr! I feel so disappointed 😭😭 YG is not doing his job right, he is not giving the girls what they deserve 😔 overall, I do like DKWTD and Kick it, their vocals shining I love it! Hope not is a good song too, but it is not my cup of tea! I hope we get a full album by the end of this year bro 🤧 Anyways stan blackpink, keep streaming kill this love y'all 🔥

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

I feel like most of these songs are more tailored for their upcoming arena tour. Production wise i feel like it was kept rather empty in some parts and done on purpose to allow them to shine on stage will less backtrack assistance.
I like that you're both supportive and critical. Nice open mind.
i love blackpink so much but ngl i’m pretty disappointed :/
As always, good reaction.
You know, not everything is about huge ass bass drop. For me, these songs are perfect. It is not weird if it's not mainstream, it is just refreshing, unexpected, and surprising.
nah it’s not all about a big bass drop- i never said that’s all the song was - though i feel as if some of the drops or progression of the songs were better i’d like them more. just an opinion 😆
kick it was my fav song probably one of my fav bp songs ever and i'm glad the girls got to show their vocals more they have enough hype tracks
DDDD remix is meant for coachella, it'll be a lot better when it's in a big ass crowd with hella bass lolol
Love your reactions also, Rosé is Australian. 😁
Nusiba S rose was raise in australia but rose is truly a korean
Yes, I’m aware. 🙂
Rose was born în New Zeeland but she Lived some years în Australia
I think for some of the songs they tried to put beats that could be used at Coachella especially with the remix
I don't know but i love Jennie in this album so much. She improve that her voice is so powerful and soft. I love her ❤
I love your honesty
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 🔥
But a lot of people don’t like the title track so that didn’t really work lmao
@@lexiemo lol
I personally really like the new songs and the slower pace but I respect your opinions and yeah we should have got a full length album but that’s YG for in my opinion one of the most worst company’s cuz he just lets his talented artist rot 🤦♀️
:)
i love that you are very honest, not overreacting and just carefully analyzing the songs. keep it upp!
blackpink said the ep was gonna have a more mature sound. so i believe this ep was them easing into a mature sound
Jennie was born in SK but studied abroad in New Zealand, Rosé was born in Auckland, New Zealand but raised in Australia. They both obtained a accent since they moved there real young. One is an real new zealandian and the other is not but also from there. 😂
D4 is really a banger! I couldnt help to keep replay it 100x times
IM SAYIN but i can’t with the remix, personally
Btw, rose does have an accent and it is Australian like you said, she was raised there
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 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.
Honesty, you and dkdktv, the only honest reactors. Respect.
Amanda D'Arienzo agree others are just people pleaser to get more subs
You should take a look at producer. He's an amazing reactor and reviewer.
Watch producer’s he’s musically experienced and is very realistic
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: ruclips.net/video/2r3wQHJMi00/видео.html
"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.
Choice songs in this mini album are new - seems like were tailored for their tours. It ain’t always heavy drop or fast paced but a variety of songs they can showcase.
That DDDD remix IS NOT necessary at all idk what were they thinking putting it in the EP 💀💀💀
They probably released it because they're going to do it at coachella
@@hazelm9279 yep
okay subbed. I really appreciate you being honest. I literally heard a reaction channel say "omg the drop and pay off [for Kill This Love] was amazing!" and I was like "oooookay so we just lying." I enjoy BLACKPINK but being a fan doesn't mean you can't criticize something. And it's not really even going at the girls since they don't seem to really be involved in the creation of the music. It's the selections and choices from the company that they made...after making us wait how long and it's ANOTHER EP and one of the tracks is literally a remix...
Basically, please stop acting like you're the House of Stark and anyone with some criticism is the House of Lannisters.
Rose is Australian she was born in new Zealand and moved to Australia English is her first language and the Jennie lived in New Zealand for five years
its okay anthony, im not really feeling this album too, i didn’t expect that album will come like this, it sounds kinda lazy.. sorry its my opinion but i like i don’t know what to do better than the title track song
love the honesty, your comments were actually quite true regarding the mini album. we neeeed more from blackpink!!!
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.
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
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.
@@teddythegodproducermaid4374
Im not complaining about Teddy. I agree that he's made great music for Blackpink but my point is, is that there is only so much creativity he has. 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. Honestly theyre such a diverse group that there is many genres they could be doing, but Teddy only knows how to do so much.
Im the only one that TEDDY choose them to debut to handle? Like i can't feel that YHS holds them. Its all depends on TEDDY and also they didn't allow any man to talk or even closed for them.
DYK? Blackpink has 30 unreleased songs? Teddy never get tired on producing BP songs...
when the start of hope not is jennie sing not jisoo ,who make this viedo was said he did it wrong
Love your honesty. Probably you are the first to frankly speak the true feelings. I mean, seriously, you think this album is crazily good...
Rose was born in New Zealand and lived in Australia for a long tome before going to Korea, so that’s why she had an Australian accent.
someone with a genuine reaction oh God finally
Thanks for sharing your honest opinion. This is so rare now among bunch of all those fake positive reactors
And yes, in Hope not was missing this strong emotional instrumental drop at the end.
the the truth untold and hope not mash up is so gooood and the lyrics fits so well. i hope you wil lreact to it :)
rosé is australian! 😊
never thought i would say this but square up was better, and you know what I noticed? blackpink is kinda like a blockbuster group, that's the best description for them! they're super popular, they're cute, they're talented and they can entertain us but that's all! they release a catchy single and an "album" full of fillers (like most groups do, but since they're popular they're the best example of it lol). you can bop to their songs and all but like... there's something missing? they're not musically interesting? it's sad because that's how most companies sell their girlgroups except for sm, red velvet, f(x), snsd all of them have amazing albums, most of them with no skips! and another gg with an amazing discography is wonder girls, reboot is in the top 3 best kpop albums of all time, easily! you should keep an eye on loona too because their bsides are incredible.
btw, ktl is better than d4 in my opinion 🙃
I dont know why but I feel sad bcoz a lot of people are saying that this mini album is not good.. But blackpink work very hard on this album... They can't please all the people In The world bcoz everyone has theirs own taste and for me this mini album was a great... They worked hard on this I appreciate my queens hardwork..... And haters if u don't like their music then don't watch it....... 👍
I feel like they only did the d4 remix for coachella hopefully we’ll get a sick choreo for it
I think I like the b-sides more than the title track 👍
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.🥰💜💕
I loved that they were really singing in this EP but only 4 new songs??? I feel so bad for the BlackPink because they deserve soooo much better. YG really doing them dirty smh
I feel the same way as you feel on a lot of these tracks. It was still really good tho overall!
'its like australian'
Anthony....You do know Rosé is Australian right?😂
I think there is a lot of really amicable discourse happening in this comments section and I’m really happy about that. I love the album! I think it’s refreshing and different but I totally understand where a lot of you are coming from. It’s hard to satisfy everyone’s preferences in the first place, and I think they could switch up producers soon, too. The arrangements could be better, but the vocals by all four saved it and honestly I love it. The songs are catchy. I think the hardest part is the lack of a full album! If we had more songs we could get more vocal-centric songs, harder songs with a beat drop, some rap heavy music, slow songs, etc. we just need more! We wouldn’t feel so deprived then and keep hoping for something else from the 3-4 songs that we get
YG does this a lot where they just remix the song to make it more hype during live performances on tour.
1:47. When you said "Bro she has an accent, Like Australian or something" I was screaming at my phone like "She is Australian"😁😁😁
1:54 She was born New Zealand but raised in Australia that's why.
I subscribed because i love your reactions and you actually pay attention to the videos also because you had the 🇦🇸 flag in one of your vids, im not sure if it was you or not but yeah lol
Rosé was born in New Zealand so the accent is more prominent when she’s speaking or singing in english.
This is why I like your reactions, you have honest opinions unlike some other RUclipsrs who fake their reactions for clout 😪💕
My personal thought:
Their MV never disappoints.
For this album thought, I’m not feeling the songs. The vibe is too agressive, like it feels forced, except Hope not which I found was the song which highlighted their voice best!
Mate, Rose is Australian lol
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
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😊
Rosé has an accent because she lived in Australia before she became a trainee
Dududu remix is for coachella and it could easily play at Ultra Miami. They needed a techno song for these kind of events. Please understand.
why release it in a single album (don't even call mini album it's too short) that people are waiting for pretty close to a year? could have done a whole new song
I totally relate with your reaction man!! They need to step up their game...🤐
They seriously need to work with some new producers.
ROSÉ was born in New Zealand and grew up in Australia. She got aussie accent.
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...
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
Give YG the fault He doesn't let Blackpink Work with a diffrent producer but the Album was new from them d4 was a waste for a New Song. BUT THEY NEED ALBUM
I actually like this album because I feel like it goes with kill this love to show stages after a breakup or showing emotions u go through after u break up with somebody just my opinion
this is why im subscribe the unbiased reaction
album could've been so much better , yg probably rushed it as a cover up for all scandals happening at yg lmao
Rose actually is Australian! ❤️
Most of the songs were written by bekah boom who had anxiety and depression because of her husband cheated on her when they just had a baby. So it's kinda understandable how most of the songs are slow.
well seeing how the album is supposed to be about being heartbroken going through the stage of not knowing what to do and just being stuck and depressed and then finally over coming it and finding yourself i think we can let it slide the softer drops of the songs lol
i feel you bro!
ROSE IS AUSSIE AYE AYE FELLOW AUSSIES WHERE U AT LMAO
Rosé: born in New Zealand raised in Australia so that’s the accent she had
Jennie: born in Korea studied in New Zealand
Lisa: Thai
Jisoo: korean
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
Why isn’t the album on Spotify?☹️
Kimii it’ll drop at 12 am
Rose was born in New zealand and raised in Australia.... thats why she has that accent
In kill this love they focuses in rap and hiphop so there's no much singing.
People need to get used to soft drops. A lot of people now are used to DAMN CLUB BANGER MUSIC.
blackpink deserve to have a full album 🤧
I love your reaction and how honest it is
The song is good but kinda weird to be real. My fave is Kick It lmao
I don’t really feel the ddu du remix it’s really meh for me we could have another new song instead and it would be awesome and we know they’re recording A LOT of stuff there’s one song come from their predebut but whatever I take what I can from YG 😂
I respect your opinion but I actully love the mini album. The side tracks have this slower and balled sounds which I been waiting for. Since stay was their only ballad song. And i like the fact that their showing their vocals especially lisa and jisoo. I wish they would show jennie potential in her rapping but I'm glad that lisa rap. Overall I'm disappointed at yg for not letting the girls have a full album. And not letting them to produce and write their songs since they have potential in making their own songs
Your reaction for the remix was the same as mine! I knew it was gonna be something like this so I refused to listen to it when the album dropped but you know I wantsd to give a chance but nope! It didn't work out 🙃🙃 We could have literally gotten a new song fr! I feel so disappointed 😭😭 YG is not doing his job right, he is not giving the girls what they deserve 😔 overall, I do like DKWTD and Kick it, their vocals shining I love it! Hope not is a good song too, but it is not my cup of tea! I hope we get a full album by the end of this year bro 🤧 Anyways stan blackpink, keep streaming kill this love y'all 🔥
Honestly, at first I did not like the album but after a few listen I found it refreshing to hear them sing songs leading towards ballad.
Me too. I feel this more. Especially when ur travelling or whatnot.
They were focused in vocals/singing in this album and in my opinion the songs in this albums are upbeat but in a different way
This ep shows how versatile they are! So proud 💖💖💖 Lisa gang all the way, always & forever 💜💜💜💜
yg needs to put more work into blackpink. they have an overwhelming amount of potential and i feel like they're being pushed down.
