The eight-track LP from the popular K-pop quartet is a celebration of themselves and all that being Blackpink represents.
Born Pink’s release follows last month’s single Pink Venom, and arrives at the same time as their newest single, Shut Down, which samples classical piece La Campanella by composer Franz Liszt.
In the music video for Shut Down, Blackpink face down the camera as they sing about their success and prowess. “It’s not a comeback since we’ve never left,” raps Jennie in Korean at the start of the song.
The music video references previous music videos – Jennie poses with the silver-armoured tank featured in their hit 2018 Ddu-Du Ddu-Du, while Jisoo takes a photo of herself in front of a screen also showing that same music video.
