MANILA, Philippines — Blackpink is showing no signs of cooling off as they have just announced the release of their new full album simply titled "The Album."

The world’s biggest K-pop girl group will be dropping the album on October 2, as posted earlier this week on their Instagram. The coming soon poster featured the quartet with their backs facing the camera.

Just last month, Blackpink released their highly-anticipated second single "Ice Cream," their highest-charting song on Billboard to date, and their first-ever collaboration with Selena Gomez.

Selena, who first met Jisoo and Rose at New York Fashion Week last year, mentioned in one of her interviews that she felt honored when the girls approached her with the idea of collaborating, adding that the girls told her that she was the missing link to give the song a “sweet flavor” it deserves.

Unfortunately, due to pandemic restrictions, Blackpink and Selena had to shoot the music video separately, which now has over 266 million views on YouTube and more than 78 million streams on Spotify--in less than a month.

And pretty soon, "Ice Cream" might just conquer the world of TikTok with Selena showing us her very own K-pop moves.

Today, Blackpink released a pre-tease to an upcoming enhanced album on Spotify, "Blackpink presents The Album."

Designed for loyal Blinks and new fans alike, the enhanced album launches with an exclusive, never-before-seen playlist curated by the four members of the girl group as well as personalized introduction videos from Blackpink’s Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa.

The unique enhanced album on Spotify comes in celebration and anticipation of the group’s upcoming studio album, “The Album” debuting next Friday, October 2. The four-member curated playlist offers fans an exclusive look into Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa’s personal music preferences and the songs they were listening to while working on their upcoming album.

From Rihanna, Kanye West, Paul McCartney’s, “FourFiveSeconds” to ROSALÍA’s “Dolerme," to Post Malone’s “Goodbyes (feat. Young Thug)," to Velvet Underground’s “Sunday Morning” and more, the list offers a wide array of music that is favored by the group.

The introduction videos, found within the enhanced album, feature each of the individual group members sharing a special welcome message as listeners begin streaming their playlists.

“Wondering what I was listening to while making “The Album”? Now’s your chance to take a listen,” said Lisa.
