Members of Blackpink have been making waves with their solo music in recent months, and Jennie is gearing up for the next big step. The South Korean singer teased the release of her debut solo studio album Ruby, set to hit the shelves this March.
Jennie has been plotting her first solo album ever since she founded her own record label Odd Atelier in the late 2023. She’s given us a taste of things to come with the lead single “Mantra” back in October, and she prepared a total of 15 brand-new tracks for her album Ruby, set to be released on March 7 via Odd Atelier and Columbia Records.
Jennie’s new record will be one star-studded affair. She joined forces with an impressive roster of A-list stars, including Childish Gambino, Doechii, Dominic Fike, FKJ, Dua Lipa, and Kali Uchis. She mostly recorded Ruby in Los Angeles and said it was a joy to create music in such a great environment, with people who inspire her.
She also described her debut album as “a fight between me, myself, and I” because it taught her a lot about herself.
“The more I get to know myself, the more I try to love myself. I’ve had a time in my life where I didn’t – I had no clue how to do that. The time where I was feeling clueless. The fact that I’ve moved on from that phase and being so committed to myself, I’m very proud,” she told Billboard.
