BLACKPINK’s Jennie teases her upcoming debut album with “dream” collabs

BLACKPINK’s Jennie is gearing up for her debut solo album, slated for an anticipated January 2025 drop—just in time to turn her birthday month into a music celebration. Fans are buzzing with theories over the mystery artists she calls her “dream collaborations,” with names like SZA and Billie Eilish floating around stan Twitter. Amid these theories, the idol’s keeping the details under wraps!

Yet, in a Q&A video on her YouTube channel, Jennie revealed she’s working with not just one, but two of her all-time favorite artists. After all, she’s fresh off her October bop, “Mantra,” which was the first chapter in her solo comeback. The song and music video were dropped as part of Jennie’s self-found label “OA,” in partnership with Columbia Records.

Jennie’s track record hints that her upcoming album will be a genre-bending cocktail of R&B, hip-hop, and the sweet pop vibes BLACKPINK fans know and love. “Mantra” was a direct hit, showcasing sharper choreography, edgier lyrics. Add in two mysterious collabs with superstar power, and you’ll get the ultimate recipe for 2025’s biggest K-pop smash.

Buckle up, Blinks—because January is shaping up to be Jenniuary!
