The black/pink-colored music makes the world excited. BLACKPINK (블랙핑크) is one of world famous K-POP groups. The quartet consists of Jennie (vocal/rap), Lisa (rap), Jisoo (vocal), and Rosé (vocal). The song Playing With Fire is the song I was moved by for the first time in their discography. I am in love with this song.
The music of BLACKPINK has been expanding globally. The expansion is represented by the following fact; the music video by them performing for Playing With Fire has hundreds of millions of views on their YouTube page. After this year comes, the news of their world tour including East Asia, Europe, and North America was released. Their expansion is in the midst of an ongoing process.

I listened to their vocals for the first time in the song Kiss And Make Up, which they performed with Dua Lipa. I felt how beautiful and colorful their singing voices are in this collaboration. The song gave me an incentive to listen to their original songs. I listened to their EP Square Two after search on Apple Music, and then met Playing With Fire.



BLACKPINK – Playing With Fire
The melodic pop/hip-hop song Playing With Fire is listener-friendly. On the other hand, something cold and vacant are included in the melody. Four types of singing voices express several faces. The world you can see changes when singing voices switch.

Playing With Fire starts with the impressive sound of piano. Piano passes a torch to synthesizer, and bass drum is added in the middle of the intro. The song increases thickness of the sound. I think that the synthesizer riff is a symbol of this song. I have been impressed by the riff in the intro, chorus, and ending. The impressive riff will make many listeners stick in their mind.
