The music has too many beats, which takes away the pure sound of the music, I don't know what she wants to express through this album? Or is it just to show that I'm cool, rich and beautiful so I have the right to show off this wealth. Using too much auto tune shows that the live voice is weak and not true to reality.

There’s some of that on Rosé’s album “Rosie,” as well, notably in the breakout pop smash “APT.,” a freewheeling and sometimes silly duet with Bruno Mars that riffs on Toni Basil’s “Mickey” and went to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. Broadly speaking, though, as compared to Lisa and Jennie, Rosé and Jisoo appear to be in something like a retreat from the shadow of Blackpink. “Rosie” is curiously a musically tame album. Rosé instead emphasizes her big vocals, pointing to a talent that translates in and out of her group. “Number One Girl” is a quaintly melodramatic piano ballad about wanting to be accepted. “Two Years” and “Toxic Till the End” are back-to-back Taylor Swift homages, to her “Folklore” and “Lover” eras. “Rosie” features big-name producers like Omer Fedi, Rogét Chahayed, Greg Kurstin and Cirkut; Allen has writing credits here, too. But they all add up to something quite different than on Jennie and Lisa’s albums. The firmness of Rosé’s voice shines through on this LP, which is the best and most consistent of these releases. With its commitment to starkness, it almost recalls a polished take on Lilith Fair-era pop, with galvanic feeling triumphing over filigree.
