BLACKPINK’s comeback album, Born Pink, has finally dropped. As fans are excited to hear what they have in store this time, Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa, and Rose talked about the newly-released LP.
Born Pink features the title track “Shut Down” and the pre-release single “Pink Venom,” along with six additional b-sides. So, what makes Born Pink special?
Highlighting Born Pink’s Release
In an interview with Xportsnews, via Soompi, Jisoo revealed she would first look at the fans’ reactions as soon as the new album dropped.
“When the album comes out, the first thing I will do is search for our fans’ reactions,” she said.
Jennie, alternatively, said they looked at each other’s thoughts and emotions as they worked on this album to bring out something from deep inside of them.
“As we gave and took feedback to and from each other, I felt that we shined the most when the four of us were together,” she added.
The Difference Between The Album, Born Pink
Rose compared their first full-length album, The Album, to the latest Born Pink, saying the second one expressed their true nature.
“If The Album focused solely on music, we tried to express BLACKPINK’s true nature through this album Born Pink, like its title,” she explained. “While protecting BLACKPINK’s original identity, we continued to try new things.”
