In the time since, the fierce foursome from YG Entertainment — Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa — have quite literally taken over the world, so much so that in the visual for the group's latest single "Shut Down," off their sophomore album, Rosé finds herself back atop the globe in the same relaxed position.
That brand is best conveyed on the album's pre-release single, "Pink Venom." The earworm is a torrent of different melodies and sounds, from West Coast rap to anarchic EDM to the hypnotic plucking of the, a traditional Korean zither. It's peak K-pop maximalism: ever-changing, mercurial madness.
Pop-rock hybrid "Yeah Yeah Yeah" is one of the album's high points. A fizzy love song featuring lyrics from Jisoo and Rosé, the track mixes bright '80s synths with a steady guitar riff. It's easy listening, which might not be what some K-pop purists are looking for. YG Entertainment, home to Blackpink and their "girl crush" predecessors 2NE1, have become known for brash bangers and deep bass, but a more classic YG sound leans toward sentimental.
