BLACKPINK's Jennie is ready to make a big splash with her debut solo full-length album, Ruby!

On January 22, it was confirmed that Jennie’s long-awaited album, Ruby, will be released on March 7. This highly anticipated album will feature 15 tracks in various genres, including the popular single Mantra, which dropped in October 2024. The album is set to showcase Jennie's impressive musical range and versatility.

What makes Ruby even more exciting? Jennie has teamed up with some of the biggest global artists for incredible collaborations. Fans can look forward to tracks featuring Childish Gambino, Doechii, Dominic Fike, Dua Lipa, FKJ, and Kali Uchis.
