One of the most successful collaborations of 2020 was the collaboration between Lady Gaga and BLACKPINK for Sour Candy . This successful track was a bit of overlooked, for the reasons that it didn’t have an MV and for Lady Gaga and BLACKPINK could not come side by side due to the difficulties like COVID-19 pandemic unique to this year. However, it is a very pleasing development that World of Wonder has chosen BLACKPINK x Lady Gaga collaboration for the Best Cooperation of 2020 award within the scope of WOWIE awards.
The song opens with Jennie and we hear from her one of the sweetest pronunciations of the word “sweet”. Then, Lisa sings very fast the phrase “make it right” while spreading the word “low”, which reflected her unique style to the song. The vocal queen Rose’s section is also exquisite, and we can say that this song is highly suitable for her throat and her style in general. Jisoo sings her section with a deep voice that you can differentiate it the most easily from the other three members.
The girls bring the piece so beautifully that Lady Gaga. She, with her majestic voice and style, brings a different sound to the song. Especially if you are driving and the sound system of the vehicle is good, it is impossible not to enter into trance with this song.
This is a song that you discover more the more when you keep listening. The better you understand its quality, the more addicting it becomes. In my opinion, it was BLACKPINK’s best collaboration song to date [their collaboration with Dua Lipa might have been more fruitful in terms of recognition, acceptance, contribution of cooperation to the group etc. Maybe it was a more successful collaboration in terms of quality, but this song was my favorite in terms of song quality and musical satisfaction].
Congratulations to both BLACKPINK and Lady Gaga for their award.
