BLACKPINK Talks "Kill This Love", Coachella & How They Formed

It's perfect, yeah, nothing about it is like fake, we don't force anything to be Korean, we don't force anything to be English. I think Oakland just finds its own place. Are you creatively open to making an original album all in English? Oh, I mean, we're I'm always doing it already, yeah, making demos in English, yeah, like a full English, boom booyah, my favorite nursery rhyme, yeah, that's full circle in the past.2016 hmm whistle to write those two albums it was kind of back to back even how many times do you think you perform boom bah? Is it strange that that record is catching on here in the United States and now it does, I mean, I think so?

I've heard it thousands of times. I

love

it. Also who makes that song. There's almost a scream, but yes, and it appears a couple of times. I think that's all. Yes, I remember you. I think I'll try it. i knew once i was funny recording it was funny that says middle finger up some audiences that Coachella performance of that song and you like the windmill arms facing jenny is exactly removing that was the hardest thing for you to tackle Is it your choreography piece? It's the hardest thing, but you just have to let it go, let's say you just made your head perfectly and you don't mess up, but you just have to let it go, who likes it, who makes the moves, it's easier than like yeah, yeah, Lisa Lisa, the moves come easier to you, yes she sees something is what you are thinking about when you dance, are you thinking about what you are going to do next or are you just lost in it?

I just don't want to think about anything, I get it, yeah, you just got it, I just like to let my body be beautiful, another record I like, I don't want to say anything bad, right?, oh yeah, so good, I mean, that would be, I just, I don't know, these records are. It's so pretty, so beautiful and the music is just boom and you have a record that you are more connected to, I mean, from the beginning, whistling, yeah, do you like the acoustic version? It also allows you to do it or you like the produced version, the normal one. voice there is no one I

love

the acoustic although the strip back is great play with fire it is another great album I love that song you like it yes I think that makes it Korean the English is so beautiful that

they

flow towards each other when you are when you put it on voice when you rap on these records.

Do you embody someone else's words? Do you add your own words to it? How is the writing process done? Yes, I have quite a few more meetings like the best ones. Yes. then you embody the lyrics, you embody the basic verses. I mean, I've seen them do it and I think

they

changed it in a way like sometimes let's say there's a demo done, but they change it in a totally different way as it is. like um, it's cool to see, yeah, put your own color on it. I think they are very good at it, which makes it special.

Jenny and Lisa, you are the rappers, right? Yeah, I was rapping something you've always done or is new when you joined the group for me. I started rapping because when I first came to YT, I think I was the only one who could speak English and everything among the trainees and you know we had to cover pop songs and they always have wrappers and they're like you can speak English pretty fast. I enjoyed it as soon as I started, although yeah, I haven't really sung for a long time. I just started singing like when we debuted, interesting because you're only the first. have your solo project but y'all are having one so when you dive into the solo you know you need to rap well yeah it was a tough decision to make actually like these days I like it too a lot of singing, but So I feel like both singing and rapping represent who I am, so I had to mix them in there, you two, yeah, how's your solo project going?

Well, we have some songs recorded, but we're still contemplating what they are like. I guess it's always a tough decision, but I mean it's all equal members, I'm sure they're preparing baby steps, yeah at a time, but yeah, you pretend to tell you something like kissing a makeup feature on a Lipa, probably I mean, it really is a slap in the face. So fucking good, what's that process like? Like leaving him to even make a record and wanting to make a record with you guys, iconic, iconic, he's the best. I came to Korea for a show and being so in town, look at the show we met her, she was so cool, it's like, I've heard about Black Pink and you know, let's do a song together and after a year she told us.

He sent a kiss and a makeup and just hit us with the best song. ever and you had a Korean lyric, it really is beautiful what you have done and how you really embody

this

global culture and in your being and what you represent for music is a universal language and it is obvious and your fans and the There is a variety of people who really identify, see and hear themselves in the music everyone puts out. It's really cool to be here as someone who has been positively affected by his music, but I can also see other people being affected for the better.

Really special stuff, so all the hard work really pays off, it's the truth, who came up with the phrase black rose in your area? It was fun to record it. We thought, what really yes, you can say right now, flat pink in your area? that phrase shows something global that everyone and anyone can be a part of

this

in black pink it's anywhere yeah we're in your area so wherever you are we'll be there what songs are you covering right now on this new tour ? you have covers on the set um we actually continued with the last set but we just bumped it up a little bit or changed it a little bit and yeah we're still covering Beyonce Beyonce oh I wish we weren't.

Not this time, I'm just making sure I don't know I've been. I said my whole weekend, yeah, so it's crazy, okay, kiss,

kill

this love, that's EP, it deserves your ear, you should listen to it when you try it. produce your own music, write your own records, so far we've followed what our producer really prepared for us, but I mean, yeah, everything is open, yeah, you've learned a lot since the beginning of this journey, you know, just soaking in recognition as your sponge, it's great, yes you are definitely my favorite k-pop group, yes what a statement.
