BLACKPINK's Jennie shares some insight about her upcoming solo album RUBY
BLACKPINK's Jennie shared the emotional ups and downs leading up to her album RUBY. In a recent interview, she said her main goal is to reward fans for their patience with an ambitious promotional plan. While delivering "good music" is a given, she wants to offer a deeper emotional experience. Jennie also admitted that waiting to release her work was tough, as she struggled to keep it a secret.
"I knew what I was working on, but I can’t imagine how hard it was for fans," she added.
She intended to surprise her listeners with a modest return, but as time went by, she began to worry about how long she could remain silent. Jennie remarked that if she had known the delay would be lengthy, she might have teased her songs more, albeit acknowledging the several causes that led to the long postponement.
One of the most difficult challenges BLACKPINK’s Jennie encountered was reducing her tracklist for RUBY. The idol was determined to create a product that felt authentic to her.
"It’s an album that contains a lot of me, a lot of Jennie," she said.
Furthermore, BLACKPINK's Jennie stated that she removed songs that did not reflect her personal vision or message. She stated that she was able to settle the album's short yet meaningful tracklist.
BLACKPINK's Jennie’s solo album, RUBY, is set to debut on March 7, 2025.
