Deadline Dazzles: Blackpink Dials Up Neon Eighties Goth on New Mini-Album

Rob Sheffield reviews Blackpink’s Deadline, a 15-minute mini-EP that pairs the 2025 single Jump with four new tracks, spanning glossy club bangers (Go) and witty trap swagger (Me and My) to Eighties synth-pop goth mood (Champion) and a sharp acoustic-guitar closer (Fxxxboy). Co-written by all four members on Go (with Chris Martin), the release prioritizes swagger and charisma over ballads, signaling a strong, self-assured comeback and a hint at a fuller album to come.
