Jennie’s vocal contribution is exactly the part that people pay the most attention to. For a long time, fans have been looking forward to the musical collaboration between the two stars. It can be seen that Jennie’s voice color is extremely suitable for The Weeknd’s composition. Her strength in English helps her easily convey the spirit of One Of The Girls. In terms of melody, One Of The Girls has the power to convince the audience to listen to the music. Music fans admit that the quality of The Weeknd’s music is undeniable, the male singer and Jennie should focus on making music.

But the lyrics still bring mixed opinions, especially in Jennie’s verse. Originally a Kpop idol, the BLACKPINK female rapper, although not hesitant to break boundaries, still faces a lot of criticism, especially after her role as Dyanne in the film received harsh reactions. Jennie’s lyrics were criticized for not having enough depth, but Jennie’s melody and delivery were very smooth.

Netizens’ reactions to Jennie and The Weeknd’s new song:

– I admit that I can’t criticize The Weeknd’s music, Jennie’s voice suits his music. It’s true that two people should only make music.

– It’s starting, Jennie’s lyrics sound cliché and seem like she’s “playing around”.

– We should stop at making music, Mr. Tuan (nickname Vietnamese fans often call The Weeknd).

– Even though the movie is bad, you can’t criticize the OST playlist.

– The music is a bit monochromatic, like the previous songs were re-mixed.

– The lyrics aren’t really good, but Jennie sings so smoothly, I can’t stop listening.

– Jennie’s voice is charming, really suitable for The Weeknd. I liked it when I heard about it.
