So you think you know Rosé BLACKPINK?

Did you know that the cover of album with Rosé BLACKPINK’s favourite song was designed by Andy Warhol?

Recently, BLACKPINK announced the launching of new album to fans all over the world. All fans were thrilled to hear the whole album. Before the album was released, BLACKPINK surprised their fans by sharing favourite playlists of each member via Spotify. The songs with diversified genres range from the tracks from Rihanna, Kanye West, Paul McCartney, Troye Sivan and many more. But did you know that one of Rosé’s favourite songs is Sunday Morning from The Velvet Underground & Nico!?

The Velvet Underground was an influential American rock band closed to Andy Warhol. He was the manager and producer of the band and most importantly he also designed the album covers.

Among them was The Velvet Underground & Nico (1967) that Rosé’s favourite song was featured. The cover was a simple banana in pop art style on a completely white background. Collectors were eager to collect the very first edition. The banana was not only the illustration but also a sticker accompanied with the words: “Peel Slowly and See”. Under the sticker was a psychedelic pink banana peeled—a clear sexual reference. Unfortunately, the cost of production was too high, so subsequent cover print runs featured the simple yellow banana picture only.

Hands up if you want to see this album cover in flesh!
