Drink Like JENNIE? BLACKPINK’s Final Solo Act Returns with Ruby Album & Whiskey

BLACKPINK’s Jennie is set to make her highly anticipated solo comeback, marking the final chapter in the group’s individual ventures following Rosé, Jisoo, and Lisa.

At midnight on March 7 (KST), Jennie will release her first full-length solo album, Ruby, followed by the music video for the title track Like JENNIE at 2 PM. This marks her first solo project since 2023’s You & Me and her first full album since her debut single SOLO in 2018.

Jennie took the reins in producing Ruby, infusing the album with her artistic identity and limitless musical versatility. The album title itself is drawn from her full English name, Jennie Ruby Jane.

The 15-track album promises an eclectic mix of sounds, featuring an all-star lineup of collaborators, including Childish Gambino, Dua Lipa, Dominic Fike, Kali Uchis, Doechii, and FKJ. The tracklist includes:

A Strategic Build-Up to Her Full-Length Release

Jennie has been teasing fans with pre-release singles since late 2023, gradually unveiling her artistic vision. Mantra (October 2023), Love Hangover (January 2024), and ExtraL (February 2024) each showcased her evolving sound, while ZEN was released as a music video exclusive.

The buildup paid off—each track climbed higher on the Billboard Hot 100, with Mantra debuting at No. 98, Love Hangover at No. 96, and ExtraL at No. 75. Including her viral feature on One of the Girls, Jennie now boasts four solo chart entries on the Hot 100.

Following BLACKPINK’s Solo Success Streak

Jennie’s return follows a strong wave of solo activity from her BLACKPINK bandmates. Rosé dominated global charts with APT., Jisoo made waves last month with Earthquake, and Lisa recently dropped her first full-length album Alter Ego while performing at the Academy Awards celebration. As the last member to unveil a solo album, all eyes are on Jennie to see how she will complete BLACKPINK’s solo era.

The Ruby Experience—Exclusive Fan Showcases

To celebrate the release, Jennie will embark on The Ruby Experience, a series of intimate shows in Los Angeles, New York, and Seoul:

📍 March 6-7 – Peacock Theater, Los Angeles

📍 March 10 – Radio City Music Hall, New York

📍 March 15 – Inspire Arena, Seoul

With her self-produced album and global showcases lined up, Jennie is ready to make her biggest solo statement yet.
