Jennie, the former BLACKPINK member, is finally stepping into the solo spotlight, and she’s bringing a star-studded lineup of collaborators with her. On Tuesday, January 21, Jennie officially revealed her debut album, Ruby, which is set to drop on March 7. The announcement came with a dramatic teaser video that has left fans buzzing with excitement.
“I’m thrilled to announce my first studio album, Ruby, coming soon on March 7,” Jennie shared in the post.
The album promises to be a major hit, featuring an impressive list of collaborators, including Childish Gambino, Dua Lipa, Doechii, Dominic Fike, FKJ, and Kali Uchis. With such an all-star roster, Ruby is already being hailed as one of the most anticipated albums of 2025.
With 15 tracks, Ruby includes Jennie’s chart-topping single Mantra, which climbed to No. 2 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart. This album marks a major milestone in Jennie’s solo career as she continues to redefine the boundaries of K-pop.
Since BLACKPINK’s meteoric rise, Jennie has become a trailblazer in K-pop, from headlining Coachella to dominating the Billboard 200 with Born Pink. Now, with the launch of her own creative agency, Odd Atelier, and a partnership with Columbia Records, Jennie is stepping into her own creative control, paving the way for her solo career.
“I couldn’t stop planning during our last BLACKPINK tour,” Jennie shared in a recent interview with Billboard. “I still hadn’t accomplished the dream of releasing a solo album, and I wanted to satisfy myself by achieving that goal.”
With Ruby, Jennie is proving that she’s ready to shine on her own terms and take her place as a global music icon.
