NEW YORK (AP) — Four years after they debuted as the next buzzed-about girl group on the K-pop music scene, BLACKPINK’s lofty dreams in music have come into fruition.

Another major objective: Record their first-full length album after being known for dropping hit single after single to showcase a deeper, more personal side of the group.

Boldly titled “The Album,” the eight-song project being released Friday highlights all the things BLACKPINK have become known for: fun, big, explosive songs that meshes sounds like pop, electronica, hip-hop, dance and trap.

“We had so many things to take a look into. When it comes to one song, the video, the choreography, the fashion, the visual, everything is just put into one — let’s just times that by how many. We were kind of freaking out at first, but then we have been working for it for a long time,” Jennie, 24, said in an interview with The Associated Press. “It gave us enough time to perfect everything and make it into our own.”

BLACKPINK — which also includes Rosé, Jisoo and Lisa — debuted with the singles “Boombayah” and “Whistle,” which quickly topped the South Korean music charts. They’ve had success with other hits and marked their debut on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2018 with the gold-selling “Ddu-Du Ddu-Du,” which has more than 1 billion views on YouTube, and “Kiss and Make Up,” a collaboration with English hitmaker Dua Lipa. A year later, they nearly cracked the Top 40 with “Kill This Love,” while a pair of their EPs reached the Top 40 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
