Creating a Blackpink album that would turn me into an instant stan (1 Viewer)

[Myco]

You might think, what the heck does the title mean?

Let me explain,
when listening to whatever music, I like to imagine K-Pop Idols singing the song or how they'd dance to it etc..
Yesterday I found a song that I'd love Blackpink to release, similar to that of course, not the same one.

What "bothers" me the most about Blackpinks music is that their producers are half assing their songs. Of course, the songs are still good, I like some, but I want amazing and not stick with good throughout their career.

Blackpink has a girl crush concept with hype music as I'd describe it, how I feel about it. Their songs are hype, but just like on a "lowkey" level instead of the big, epic hype type. Which is okay as well for people who like just that but me personally, I'd prefer if you'd go all out on a hype track.

So going further I'll just post around 3-5 songs, so basically a mini album and explain my thought process behind each of the choices.
If they'd release similar music to that I'd most likely would start to stan them immediately.

For this "mini album", I decided to choose tracks that are a bit more darker, reminiscent of their Coachella performances, than their usual more happier/upbeat songs.
It's hard to find 100% fitting songs due to the lack of rap but Jennie and Lisa would easily be able to get something in them.

Track 01 - Intro


I wasn't sure if I'd prefer the whole track as the Intro or only till 1:08, however the song would be an amazing opening for their concerts, just imagining them walking on stage with this would be an epic introduction, maybe a great solo choreo from Lisa as well would give it that cherry on top.


(Since Blackpink normally promotes 2 of their tracks, I decided for a title and a sub-title as well.)
Track 02 - Sub/Title


This song continues the epic feeling from the intro for me, it'd be an amazing song for Rosé and Jisoo, definitely showcasing their vocals more than the group's rap. It also is similar to Blackpink's sub titles imo, since most of the time they aren't as hard hitting as their titles but still have some type of hype in them.


Track 03 - Main Title


When I heard the "rap" part (0:46) I had to think about Lisa for a reason, I think she and Jennie would be able to put like some great, fast rap into a similar instrumental like that, overall it's definitely unusual for Blackpink, but when thinking about each part and who sings it it would fit really well. Especially the pre-chorus reminds me of Blackpink songs.


Track 04 - B-Side 1


Of course there has to be a ballad, I'm really picky with ballads but Stay is still one of my favorite songs by them so it's hard finding one that would fit Blackpink but I think in this case Kehlani's song fits well for me.


Track 05 - B-Side 2


I think something like this would make for a good ending, it's not too hard hitting nor too slow, I actually thought about putting this as one of the titles with the MV being the girls in like Kill Bill clothes and fighting a version of themselves which would make for a great MV but I think as a finisher for the album it's good as well.



So that's my mini album for Blackpink, take from it what you want, I just like doing things like this, those "what if" scenarios, maybe you'll even like a few of the songs I posted as well, who knows

I don't know if I'm gonna do that for other groups as well yet Loona or NCT would probably be next then.

For me it's 2 options

1) Rose singing 90% of the songs
2) The songs not actually being the most lifeless songs that have a brain eating melody that's there just to... be there... with no creativity or uniqueness (not their fault, the producers)

I like what you said, I think the only realistic thing is the intro tbh, they can't even sing the rest (properly) unless my 1) is active

Ah, of course you'd have to scale the songs to what Blackpink is able to do, we wouldn't want Rose to lose her voice and all that etc.

An "album" with 5 tracks. We've really all lost hope for an actual studio album to ever be released

Blackpink with an album that has more than 5 songs sound so unrealistic and I blame YG for that

mhh I like what you put out here.

I personally hope for better raps. I love Jennie‘s singing but her rap is just better. Like the part what made solo for me is that lowkey rap.

I'm mostly happy with the music so far, though I I think Kill this Love album was weaker than Square Up and definitely weaker than their first year releases.

It would be nice to hear sth darker from them, D4 is quite heavy-hitting song for me, but it does lack of that dark tone. I loved Coachella versions of the songs, so it would be nice for them to do sth like that for title. I don't usually care about sub titles they have, so I would like some change in those but i think lot of people like them even more than titles so..
