"The Album" was Blackpink's first South Korean studio album and third in their overall discography, which used elements of pop, R&B, hip hop, EDM, and trap. With numerous records to its name thanks to the songs featured on it, this album showed us a more mature side of the group by singing about a diversity of emotions experienced by young women growing up.
Congratulations blackpink🎉 💞
