After months of anticipation, Blackpink’s first studio album The Album is finally here.
Featuring hits like “Ice Cream” and “How You Like That,”the eight-track release shot to the top of iTunes night and threw Twitter into a frenzy,
where the group’s loyal fanbase (a.k.a Blinks) celebrated the comebacks of Rosé, Jennie, Lisa, and Jisoo.
“These days, we have no boundaries when it comes to work,” Jennie said. “Even on our days off, we’re basically at the studio recording.” Rosé added, “Life is work, and work is life!”
Collaborator Bekuh Boom, who has writing credits on The Album for songs like “You Never Know” and “Crazy Over You,” praised Blackpink’s versatility and star power.
“They represent this unity between women—how all of us can be different but still get along and bring something powerful to the table,” she says.
“Their music speaks to so many different people from so many different walks of life.
I’m just really grateful to be a part of that.”
