Listening Party: BLACKPINK "Kill This Love" Album Reaction - First Listen 

after visiting their concert in amsterdam, i can say with confidence the new album was made with big performances in mind. they were so good for the concert environment compared to earlier songs. And Hope Not live is like one of my favorite things ever

PD: *talking about kick it* WHAT IS THIS SONG????? Me: kick it is THAT song

Someone said these songs were made for Coachella, not an album. I can't say I disagree. I can say they absolutely murdered Coachella with these songs, and I went to the Atlanta concert and they killed it there too. KtL, Kick It, and especially Don't Know What To Do are absolutely incredible live.

you r the only one reactor who i trust who really appreciated jisoo's vocal

Producers: so how much guitar do you want in the songs? Blackpink: YES.

1:18 don’t know what to do 6:12 kick it 12:16 hope not 18:28 DDDD remix

Jisoo shined so brightly this album! Thank you for this reaction ☺️

I love that Kevin from ReacttheK is just chilling in the background!

Your reaction towards Jisoo's parts in "Hope Not" were exactly mine!!!!!!!...I mean, The song was supposed to be Rose's....but Jisoo's voice tho...URGHHHHH....iT WAS SO SO ON POINT FOR THE SONG TOO.

The DDDD remix is not for everyone. But the girls def had fun performing it live, esp Jisoo lol.

I liked kick it straight away. I took a little bit of time to really like the other songs. I hope they come with a full album next comeback. Its been so long

I totally agree when you analyze Jisoo and Rose as a singer. When it comes to skills, voice concentration all that kind of stuff, most of the time Rose does it better. But for some reason, Jisoo's singing really got that magical something that touch me in a deeper level inside. There is nothing about skills or techniques. Maybe it's empathy or some kind of emotions match. That is what made Jisoo my soild bias.

Is that Kevin wtf 😂

Rosé and Jisoo slayed this and I'm so happy. Also I love dont know what to do. It's definitely my favourite song.

Jisoo's vocals have the power to calm me down, i don't know what It Is but She has It💖💖

Let me just say it... JISOOOOOO~~~~

He will be my favourite forever for the fact of his love for Jisoo

Jisoo has a perfect voice for an OST 😔💕

I really appreciate how Lisa is getting singing lines on this album. Can't wait for Jisoo and Rosé to start rapping :)

13:19 same.. Everytime i listen to jisoo's part in hope not,i have goosebumps tho.. Edit* and still people and blinks underestimate her talent..

The one thing I do not like about the album is how simple the vocal arrangement is. There is no vocal mixing of the group members, no interplay of the singers. One person sings, then the next person sings, then one person raps, then it repeats. If you look at their Miguel song cover, that song is so much more complex than what teddy produces. The only song where they even try to attempt this is Hope Not, which is (not surprisingly) my favorite song in the mini album.

"Hey, can BlackPink remix one of their songs for a Fast and Furious movie?" - PD 2019

Kick it has the best line distribution ever for a blackpink song 😍

Rosé and Jisoo compliment each other perfectly. Rosie has a more breathy voice and uses a lot of her head space, adding a brighter tone to her voice. Whereas with Jisoo she has a darker tone and uses less of her head voice making it seem more “mature”. They are so different, but together their voices are perfectly balanced!

I can’t stand that Teddy keeps writing songs for them which end without a third chorus, like he builds up the momentum right at the end and then ends the song without realizing it. He did it with DDDD, Kill This Love, Don’t Know What to Do, and Playing With Fire (although the ending does feel super satisfying with that song and it remains my favourite BP song)

You're right though the remix is sick.

This album i feel like was more vocal heavy which i very much enjoy and the songs definitely grew on me quickly

Good video PD. I love it when a group member is not at his or her best when the group starts, but then relentlessly improves comeback after comeback. Hyerin has done/is doing it for EXID and Jisoo's doing this for BlackPink. I'm so proud of them and it's always great to hear their talent blossom and their confidence rise like a rocket into the sky.

I wish they would give Jennie more rap lines than singing lines. Jennie is the main rapper of the group, but she hasn’t rap in more than half of their songs. We haven’t even seen all of Jennie’s potential as a rapper.

your reaction to jisoo's parts and reaction to jisoo is what i love the most. she needs more people to recognize her by her vocals. and hell yeah we need rapper jisoo again

I feel like this album kinda focus on the vocals, Jisoo and Rosé, compared to the rap line, Jennie and Lisa or those two just stand out more this era. I know a lot of people will say otherwise, but it just feels that way for me. Jennie and Jisoo kinda stood out In the D4 era in my opinion, and the songs felt kinda more fast pace compared to the songs in this album. The Jenlisa rap part really had the Jenlisa shipper inside me fangirling even harder, but I still feel like Chaesoo shined more this era. I kind of wished they added a fifth song instead of the remix so that we can have just one more song, but I still love the remix. Also, Kick it is my favorite song from this album.

ReacttotheKpop KEVIN at the back.. I see you, Sir! AND YEAHHHHH!!!! JISOOOOOOO IS THE GODDESS OF IMPROVEMENT AS WELL AS X FACTOR OF ALMOST EVERY BP SONGS 😎

PD' being speechless n his face throughout Hope Not, I just can't-

Hope not is my favourite of this EP and possibly my favourite blackpink song overall...also loved Jisoo in hope not

Love your reactions to jisoo 😍 😍

Everytime he said "Jisoo", I heard "Jesuoo" (JesusXJisoo) or "Cheesoo" (CheeseXJisoo) He's not wrong about JesusXJisoo though

Jisoo needs a kdrama OST !

Jisoo steals the show every single time i swear ! I'm a little disapointed for rapper Jennie, but vocalist Jennie really popped off in dkwtd and kick it

First i didn't like the remix but after the concert i went to in Amsterdam i really enjoyed it! especially during the concert, it's made to be performed at concerts and festivals!

jisoo is that girl and i'm happy you know that.

Jisoo may not get the most love in title tracks, but she's definitely BP's B-side queen.

This era really focuses on Rosé and Jisoo's vocals. and Im loving it. finally the two vocalist getting the recognition they deserve.

JISOO STANS RISE!!!!

I actually think hope not was the most interesting track on the album. Stay was in a similar style combining western indie and pop songs (similar to songs by one direction, the vamps) but hope not was more similar to British classic rock (similar to the Beatles’ yesterday, in my life) while still keeping aspects of their musical style

Jisoo is sick on this album omg my girl kill it

Man you love jisoo💕💕💕

I notice a wild Kevin in the background

FINALLY! THIS VID IS HERE

ahh was waiting for this 💞 so glad you got to this. always loved your point of view. woo!

Actually I think Jisoo is the best and most stable vocalist in bp

Can you please react to Aces Undercover?!!!pls

"Kick it" kicked me in the heart, i love that song ❤️

Jisoo's vocals strums the last couple of strings remaining in my heart. And for all you who understands that knows how much that means.

OH WAIT WAS THAT KEVIN AT 6:37???

I did really enjoy BP's new album. I didn't love it, but I really liked it. That said, I loved Hope Not, just as I did with Stay. I actually like their acoustic tracks the most and they wouldn't have as such big an audience as they do now if they went down this route (just because the genre doesn't appeal as widely as their current main style) but I kinda wish their main discography was like Hope Not and Stay with side tracks like DKWTD and Kick It. I just think every member's voice and style are so much more displayed and accented, and Hope Not is the first BP song that has made me really feel emotion out of their discography.

I think they really wanted to focus on vocals than instrumentals in this album. this album never bores me btw because it's interesting.

Please react to A.C.E’s new song/album

It very much seems to be a breakup album, every song seems to be like the stages of a breakup: anger, loneliness, relief/getting over the pain, hopefulness, and then change (remix)

How I wish that everyone appreciates Jisoo like PD appreciates her. Thank you PD-nim! I feel grateful as a Jisoo-bias.

I have to disagree with Rosé being over all superior when compared to Jisoo I personally think they’re on the same level due to the fact that where one is missing the other one fills in but since Rosé can do higher notes I do think that she is more suited to be main vocalist Edit:) i’m just saying this is why we have main and lead vocalist they cover each other so perfectly and it something really unique to K-pop

I like your reaction when it come to jisoo's part

PD please react to A.C.E undercover

Thank you for uploading this to youtube! I missed it live

THANKYOU!!!! I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!!

The producers honestly know what they’re doing cause these songs sounds a bit weird at first because of the transitions but if you go to their live show and they perform these songs it’s gonna be lit as hack!! And honestly after listening the songs for many times i’ve grown to love the songs now lmao

The songs are actually pretty dope and different. Love it

Rosie on this album. I’m so done. She could have done DKWTD and Hope Not on her own. I would literally STILL buy the tracks if she sang them on her own.

YES. Jisoo’s vocals blew me away in this EP. I’ve always liked her vocals more than Rosé (nothing against Rosé, I love the girl to bits) so I’m really happy with these songs. I’m super excited for her solo ♥️

LOVE UR REACTIONS DURING JISOO'S PART BLESS U 😭 she really did improve a lot im so proud of her

hope not is just this song u find urself swaying to without even realizing and if u listen to this song at night u get sent to a different dimension and like,,,,, hope not is the song u listen to when life’s at its most peaceful moment,,, and it’s just a beautiful to sing along to as well,,,, hope not is the type of song u play on a ride home,,,, when I listen to hope not I feel so peaceful??? and I just forget everything for a little bit and just sink into the song completely bc it pulls me in and tell me “you’ll be okay just take these few minutes to rest”,,,,, hope not is That Song and u cannot tell me otherwise

I was waiting for this!

Finally oh my God I've been waiting like forever for this

I loved the album. Not as much as square up but i enjoyed it a lot. I dont think this album is watered down per se but they definitely had the songs stripped down in general. Everything was a lot clearer and had more of an acoustical background to it. It seemed minimalist to me. That being said i hope they dont lose what made them so popular in the first place. And thats being kpop. Adding such a western influence makes me kind of iffy in which direct Blackpink is going. RM from BTS said that they dont want to lose sight of who they are and make an entire english album because thats not who they are. They are a korean band who happen to add english lyrics where they seem fit.

Jisoo’s voice is my favorite ❤️❤️❤️

Yey! Been waiting for this

DKWTD was my absolute favorite song in the album. It felt like they reached what they were suppose to reach for. They actually made the lyrics suit Jisoo’s voice and I love how Rosé also had lyrics that suited her voice. Lisa and Jennie have such beautiful voices. Like 😭😩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

For me this album took a while for me to finally like it. At my first listen my reaction was square up was better. But then FORCED myself to listen to it more then boom-suddenly singing rampapampapampapaaaaam out of the blue. Then liked all equally. It takes time to appreciate this album SHARE KO LAAANG

I feel like the girls improved vocally on an astronomical level. To me both Jisoo and Lisa's singing is breathtaking in "hope not".

Thank you for the reaction! 😁

thank you so much for listeing and reacting to the EP, also thank you SO MUCH for appreciating kim jisoo. she has a beautiful, deep, stable and powerful voice but many people seem to ignore that because she's known more as a visual of the group. again, thank you!

You need to check out A.C.E. - Undercover! Also, the new album of WINNER is so good!

My favorite things about this video is PD finally admitting Jisoo is his favorite. He didn’t have to because all his BlackPink videos made it obvious. It just feels good to hear it. HOLLER JISOO STANS!!!

This react ive been waiting for... next im wait for Seventeen - Happy Ending Reaction !

idk why, but for the whole album reaction i really love your reaction! ❤️

hopefully jennie gets to fulfill her main rapper position next comeback :/

*"country is just cowbow emo"* WHOEVER SAID THAT IN THE BACKGROUND DESERVES TO BE BROUGHT INTO THE LIGHT

pd is LITERALLY me during hope not I love hope not so so much jisoo shined so fucking well in this album

I love that you include the entire footage of your reactions. idk why but lots of people will cut out parts, maybe because they didn't have interesting reactions, but I really do like seeing the whole thing. when they cut it, it just feels rushed ://

This was my favorite album from them so far. Gave bp more variety and I loved it. Also the lyrics were beautiful

will you do a fancy you listening party too?

I’ve been waiting

I think each of the girls definitely shined on a certain song. Jennie’s style suited kill this love, rose on don’t know what to do, Lisa on kick it, and Jisoo on hope not. I think the live performances actually make you appreciate the songs more and you can see the intention of each track when put in the context of their concerts.

Ive been waiting for TWICE's FANCY YOU ALBUM LISTENING PARTY because they served us an unexpected no skip bops and new music style. Please react soon to FANCY YOU album

Do u know that jisoo did jennie’s 2nd rap part in one of their concert. And that was epic !!!

My heart is so happy that PD and Kevin are hanging out

I love how you did not talk at all in hope not... i'm like that everytime until now. I wanna sing along but i wanna appreciate their vocals so much especially that chorus.

Jisooooooo 😘

I didn't know you and kevin knew each other, is this Form Of Therapy X ReacttotheK??

I love your reaction 😍😍😍😍

I was thinking about how blackpink songs have a lot of guitar sounds in it and you literally said it in the video XD
