Rosé's time is over? Pitchfork "reveals" the truth behind her solo album, fans are "hot"?

Rosé's solo album "rosie" has created a wave of controversy in the Kpop fan community. Pitchfork criticized it, Forbes commented that it was "disappointing", but international fans tried to defend it. The war between critics and fans broke out fiercely, what is the truth?

With the resounding success of BLACKPINK, fans around the world cannot help but look forward to Rosé's first solo debut. Before the end of 2024, Rosé had time to release her first full album "rosie", marking an important milestone in her independent career after leaving YG.

The album "rosie" consists of 12 tracks, composed and produced by Rosé herself, inserting her own story into the music. Before releasing the full album, Rosé released 2 singles APT. (featuring Bruno Mars) and number one girl - a heartbreaking ballad.

Not disappointing her fans, Rosé has affirmed herself through her well-crafted and profound music tracks, especially the super hit "APT." in collaboration with Bruno Mars. However, like every great music product, Rosé's album cannot avoid mixed opinions, leading to fierce controversies.

Ever since the album "rosie" was released, the music community has showered compliments on Rosé. The album contains songs that bear her personal mark, from the lyrics to the music.

Along with that, Rosé personally participated in the composition and production process, affirming her big role in the creation of this product. However, although "rosie" took the world by storm and left its mark on the charts, many people questioned the album's lack of creativity, especially the reviews from Pitchfork.

Pitchfork, one of the most critical music magazines, gave Rosé's album a shockingly low 5.5. The magazine commented that "rosie" lacked originality and identity, and even "relyed on outdated musical references."

According to Pitchfork, the album is not strong enough to convince the audience, when most of it just stops at "vague" and "sketchy" emotions. A sentence in Pitchfork's article "shocked" public opinion when it said: "Even with the support of a major record label, an all-star team of musicians and producers, and Rosé's 8 years of experience in BLACKPINK, Rosé doesn't bring anything interesting or exciting. Its writing style pales when compared to other great breakup albums..."

Not stopping at Pitchfork, Forbes also commented that Rosé "disappoints" when comparing the achievements of "rosie" with other popular music products. In addition to the outstanding success of "APT." featuring Bruno Mars, most of the remaining tracks did not resonate. However, in this context, it is undeniable that Rosé still achieved significant successes such as entering the Billboard Hot 100 with "Toxic Till The End". This is an impressive record for a solo artist from Kpop.

Immediately, the debate began on social media platforms. Rosé's supporters continuously defended her, claiming that Pitchfork's reviews were too harsh and lacked understanding of K-pop music. They pointed out that Rosé's involvement in songwriting and production was a big plus, along with her impressive achievements.

On the other hand, the opposition agrees with Pitchfork, arguing that Rosé has yet to make a significant breakthrough in solo music. They criticize her album for lacking a strong personality, even claiming that the success of "APT." is largely due to the collaboration with Bruno Mars, not Rosé's talent. They question whether Rosé can truly shine in solo music without the support of BLACKPINK or YG.

It is no small challenge for Rosé to "escape" from the shadow of BLACKPINK. While the members of this famous Kpop group have already established their names, a new solo artist like Rosé stepping outside the group circle brings great pressure.

Despite mixed opinions, Rosé continues to affirm her worth through the album "rosie" and makes a strong impression on international charts. However, the controversy over this album will certainly continue.

Rosé 'burst into tears' because the crowd 'ignored' her, her actions afterwards were even more surprising?
