The month of BLACKPINK solos involves a conclusion as Lisa caps off February with the discharge of her first full album. This venture has been preceded by plenty of singles courting all the best way again to final June. Like bandmate Jennie, the album’s tracklist unveils a number of big-name collaborators together with widespread rapper Future on a model of latest single Fxck Up The World. Nevertheless, the music video opts for the “Vixi solo” combine, giving Lisa (or at the very least her alter ego) full highlight.
To be sincere, this music was in all probability by no means going to be for me. I admire its jolt of power and “get on the market and kill it” vibe, however this specific type isn’t one thing that mobilizes me in the best way it would others. The instrumental’s lumbering rumble and madhouse sirens recall hits of the mid-to-late 2000’s, however Lisa’s movement usually dips into fashionable (and overused) rhythms that fail to set Fxck Up The World aside from different tracks. The shouted refrain is catchy however the lyrics are the identical outdated braggadocios tropes we’ve heard again and again. The music by no means says “some shit that’ll make ’em assume it, thought-provoking” as verse one proudly declares, making the entire observe really feel a bit unaware of its personal campiness. The lyrics can be higher off embracing a humorousness with extra memorable barbs and a understanding wink.
Of all of the BLACKPINK members, I do assume this style fits Lisa finest. Purely filtered by charisma and power, she sells the observe. it simply doesn’t really feel significantly distinctive to her, making the whole train veer nearer to play-acting than something. It’s practical for a pair minutes of unbridled depth, however I don’t see myself returning to it usually.
