BLACKPINK’s Jennie Hints at Solo Album Debut in Heartfelt Holiday Message
In a hidden Christmas Day video "Goodbye, Hello," Jennie from BLACKPINK paused to engage her fans by sharing her reflections on her 2024 journey. The video, styled like a mini interview, gave viewers a glimpse into her experiences and plans. Notably, Jennie revealed exciting updates about her much-anticipated debut solo album. “My album is going to sound very different. My next single is going to sound very different from ‘Mantra’. I feel like every step will be different,” she teased.
The Journey Behind the Album
Jennie shared that preparing her solo project took nearly a year to finalize. “It took me 11 months to feel ready,” she admitted, explaining how this was a unique experience for her. While fans might think solo work has always been part of her musical life, she clarified, “I’ve never done this before. People assume it’s natural, which is partly true, but I’ve always had the girls by my side.” She expressed gratitude for her BLACKPINK bandmates but embraced this new chapter as hers.
Secrets and Soulful Creations
Delving into the specifics of the album, Jennie kept some details under wraps, including song titles and guest features, but left fans curious with tantalizing hints. She described her favorite track as one that captured her “soul” and confirmed collaborations with at least two of her “dream artists.”
Jennie’s vision for the album is personal yet versatile. “My hope with my album is that the world gets to see Jennie and her music as it is,” she shared. Adding a touch of humor, she said, “I wouldn’t even be mad if you hate it. There’s a little bit of everything for everyone—it’s like a buffet for you guys.”
A New Era for Jennie
Ending the video on a hopeful note, Jennie spoke about her aspirations for 2025. She described her upcoming solo era as a “little seed” in her life, symbolizing growth and a fresh start. “It’s finally, finally time for me to show what I’ve been working on and what I’ve been holding onto, and just really let it out,” she said, brimming with anticipation.
