Review: BLACKPINK in your area, and they’re here to stay
Associated PressBLACKPINK, “The Album” It takes a special kind of swagger to name your first full-length studio record “The Album,” but this is the kind of stuff artists like BLACKPINK are made of: voice, hair, moves and steel. Overall a musically cohesive work, the album kicks off with the high octane first single “How You Like That.” The song goes full fanfare, with bells, whistles and everything in-between for a head-spinning dance bop. Second single “Ice Cream,” a collaboration with Gomez, is a bubblegum pop track with elements of trap, while the Cardi B-assisted “Bet You Wanna” has a simple beat enhanced by BLACKPINK’s voices and Cardi’s rap flow. “Pretty Savage” introduces a prowling piano with some growls suggestive of a jungle, while “Crazy Over You” finds its rhythm in a Balkan whistle coupled with surf rock guitar sounds.
