BLACKPINK (with Selena Gomez) - Ice Cream
'Ice Cream' is Blackpink's second digital single that acts as a pre-release for their upcoming first full album and their third collaboration track, this time with American singer Selena Gomez. The MV itself is great but once again the song is below average. I dare say it is bad. This must be the most boring and uninspired song I have heard the last couple of years. If feels empty, bland, with no actual chorus and almost non-existent instrumentation. There is no build-up, no urgency, not even one of their infamously bad drops. Honestly, I got no desire to listen to it again, it just feels like a chore. I really love these girls but this collaboration seems like a 'cheap' attempt to increase their fame in the West and nothing more. And I put the word 'cheap' in quotes because it is obvious that a ton of money was spent in this collaboration. Shame they didn't spend it on a better song.
BOTOPASS (보토패스) - Flamingo
BOTOPASS (보토패스 in Korean and the name stands for "BOrn TO be PASSion") is an eight-member girl group under WKS ENE and XX Entertainment. They made their debut on August 26, 2020 with the single album 'Flamingo'. Unfortunately although they just debuted there is already a controversy and weird rumors around them which certainly aren't helping them. The song on the other hand is fun, unique and very catchy.
