Rosé, the voice of Blackpink who conquers the world with her first solo album
With her first solo album, “Rosé”, the South Korean singer unveils a universe blending vulnerability and modern pop, proving that her talent transcends the boundaries of K-pop.
Since her beginnings in the famous group Blackpink, Rosé has rapidly established herself as one of the most iconic voices on the world music scene. Having made her mark with global hits and sold-out tours, the Korean-born singer from New Zealand now presents her first solo album. A look back at the career of this artist with a unique style.
Rosé and the legacy of Blackpink
Rosé’s story begins with the phenomenal explosion of Blackpink, a group created in 2016 by YG Entertainment. From their first single, Jennie, Lisa, Jisoo, and Rosé captivated a global audience with their hard-hitting blend of pop, rap and electronic influences. Known for their bold aesthetic and ability to break down gender stereotypes, Blackpink are paving the way for a new generation of girl bands.
However, each member of Blackpink has always distinguished herself with her own artistic style. While Jennie is often associated with incisive rap and Lisa with hard-hitting visual performances, Rosé has made her mark with her ethereal voice and ability to convey deep emotion.
The long-awaited launch of “Rosé
Enthusiastically heralded on social networks, particularly on Instagram, where Rosé has millions of fans, this album marks a turning point in his career. With tracks written in collaboration with international artists such as Bruno Mars and American producers, the album explores universal themes such as loss, love and the quest for identity.
“APT”, the first single from the album, has already topped the charts in over 15 countries, thanks to its poignant lyrics and captivating video, which blends retro aesthetics with modernity.
An artist of many influences
Rosé, who grew up in New Zealand before moving to South Korea to pursue her dreams, draws her inspiration from a variety of genres including country, folk and American pop. She cites artists such as Taylor Swift and Adele among her main references. This musical diversity is reflected in the tracks on the album, where acoustic ballads rub shoulders with more electro-pop productions.
The singer has also won over fans with her authenticity. In recent interviews, she confided that she wanted to show a more vulnerable side of her personality through her new songs.
A global impact, including in Paris
Rosé’s album has a particular resonance in Paris, the world capital of fashion and art, where she has often been seen as a muse for prestigious brands such as Saint Laurent. Her style, both chic and minimalist, appeals to Parisians, as does her music, which resonates in the playlists of trendy cafés and private parties.
With this first solo album, Rosé shows that she is much more than a member of a K-pop group. She has established herself as a complete artist, capable of reaching an international audience while remaining true to her roots.
