It's been months since I went back on akp, so many things have happened and my father passed away... but now I'm here to share my thoughts about the newest BLACKPINK comeback.
I didn't know what to expect from the teaser but the instruments sounded very unique and I liked that.
And the song came! I had a good impression of this song since the first listens, unlike the "disappointing" threads yesterday.
The raps were spot on, the pre-chorus was a bit weird with that instrumental but still fine. And THE CHORUS! YES BLACKPINK, AN ANTIDROP WITH LYRICS! I kind of don't like DDDD and KTL because of the same structure, and that structure got passed to HYLT, but HYLT for me was more of a bop than the former two, so it's fine. But this time!
I like that they went for this kind of poppy lighter drop and the smooth raps from Jennie and Lisa, wish Rose and Jisoo could sing it for once hehee. I see why many people say this song is flat or like didn't climax, but I believe it's because last times BP always did a big beat drop. I LOVE LOVE LOVE BP CHORUS WITH LYRICS!
So to be fair, Pink Venom fulfilled my expectations. I hope that it would last long, but for now, I like this song. Congrats BLACKPINK and BLINKS for this amazing comeback!
