JENNIE (Blackpink) invited a group of big stars to 'blacken' her first solo album

Jennifer's debut album will be distributed through her own record label, Odd Atelier, in collaboration with the giant Columbia Records. The album is expected to include 15 tracks, featuring collaborations with six highly acclaimed artists: Childish Gambino, Dua Lipa, Doechii, Dominic Fike, FKJ, and Kali Uchis.

The unique styling evokes the image of Jennifer's "darkening."

The single "Mantra," released last October, will also be included in this album. The song garnered significant attention, topping the iTunes Top Songs chart in 47 countries, including the United States, Brazil, Singapore, and Mexico.

Mantra also made history by becoming the first song by a female K-pop solo artist to reach number 1 on the US iTunes Top Songs chart and appear on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for two consecutive weeks.

In the 33-second album trailer released yesterday, January 22nd, Jennie, with her red hair, hinted at her "darker" image. The video also revealed some lyrics, including: "In the darkness, I grew up" and "Money can't buy true friendship."

Thus, after ROSÉ - the first member of Blackpink to release her debut album titled Rosie in late 2024 - and soon Lisa with Alter Ego scheduled for release on February 28th, JENNIE will be the third member to release a product.

This is highly anticipated news, because compared to Lisa and Rosé since expanding their solo careers, Jennie hasn't had many memorable works. Recently, her supporting role in the film The Idol , a collaboration with The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp, also sparked much controversy.

Sharing her thoughts on the album, Jennifer said: "When this album is released, people will understand more about me and my story. I've combined rap, singing, arrangement, and engaging storytelling to create a truly heartfelt whole in each song on this album."

Among the guest artists, the collaborations with Dua Lipa and Kali Uchis are highly anticipated, as they are two leading female artists in their respective genres, disco and R&B. Meanwhile, Childish Gambino and FKJ have made their mark with many experimental works.

Through this project, it's clear that Jennifer is aiming for a balance between art and entertainment, thereby offering exciting, creative, and unique experiences.
