ROSÉ’s Debut Solo Album ‘Rosie’: All 12 Songs Ranked

Published
2 months agoon

Throughout BLACKPINK’s eight years together, both of the girl group’s full-length albums included eight tracks apiece for two tight pop projects with little space for its four members to inject their personalities. Fans rejoiced when BLACKPINK’s powerhouse vocalist ROSÉ revealed that her debut solo album would not only have 12 songs on the tracklist but also that its simple title of Rosie hinted towards them getting the chance to meet a more intimate and personal side of the superstar whose full name is Roseanne Park.
Across the emotional journey of its 12 tracks, Rosie introduces a singer-songwriter whose music allows her to get deeply personal with songs that can simultaneously resonate universally. The LP opens with the poignant “Number One Girl,” a stripped-back piano ballad that sets the contemplative tone. Yet, the path quickly swerves into unexpected territories with tracks like “Call It the End” and “Gameboy,” which pull playful wordplay through a mix of sonic textures and rollercoaster vocals.
Meanwhile, longtime fans will appreciate ROSÉ’s knack for injecting her signature charm into every note, whether it’s through the bittersweet storytelling of “Two Years,” the rhythmic allure of “Drinks or Coffee,” or cheekily shouting out her favorite jewelry brand on “Toxic Till the End.”
A mosaic of the messy, beautiful chaos that defines one’s twenties, Rosie allows one of the world’s biggest stars to express what sits deep in her mind and heart extensively and more openly than her typical K-pop releases would not. If ROSÉ’s debut album did not allow us to get any deeper with her than we had in the past eight years, there would be no need for a full-length record like this to exist. But thankfully, Rosie lets us into ROSÉ’s venting sessions and musical therapy appointments to let fans know where our girl is today.
Below, Billboard ranks all 12 songs from Rosie, in descending order.
