About BLACKPINK's Jennie's latest album Ruby and Coachella 2025 solo debut
The BLACKPINK rapper will debut her solo performance at Coachella this year on April 13 and April 20, becoming the first member, along with LISA, to perform solo without the other group members.
This would be the singer-rapper's third time on the Coachella stage, as BLACKPINK previously played at the festival in 2019, making history as the first K-pop girl group to do so, and they again performed on the Coachella stage in 2023.
The idol's Ruby was released on March 7, 2025, and contains 15 tracks, including collaborations with artists like Childish Gambino, Dua Lipa, Kali Uchis, and Dominic Fike.
The lead single, Mantra, sets the tone for the album with its empowering lyrics complemented by dynamic production. Another hit titled Love Hangover (featuring Dominic Fike) takes a deeper dive into the struggles of tumultuous relationships, while ExtraL with Doechii is a high-energy women empowerment anthem.
Commercially, Ruby debuted in the top ten charts across 19 countries, including the Netherlands, South Korea, Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia, and the United States. In South Korea alone, the album sold over 660,000 copies in its first week, setting a new record for a K-pop female solo artist in 2025.
The BLACKPINK idol is set to headline the Coachella 2025 stage on Sunday, April 13, 2025, from 7:45 pm PT.
