Jennie’s Highly Anticipated Solo Album Ruby
Earlier this week, Jennie revealed that her highly anticipated solo album, Ruby, will be released on March 7, 2025. This debut project promises an exciting collaboration with high-profile artists such as Childish Gambino, Dua Lipa, Doechii, Dominic Fike, FKJ, and Kali Uchis, all contributing their talents to the 15-track album.
The album includes the previously released single “Mantra,” which garnered significant success, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart and No. 3 on the Billboard Global 200 in October 2024.
In a recent interview with Billboard, Jennie reflected on the personal significance of the album, which she began working on in early 2024. “It’s not nice to be someone who’s always like, ‘I’m sorry, I can’t say anything,’” she expressed, hinting at the challenges she faced during the creative process. Jennie added, “I’m just going to say, ‘I don’t do well with time,’” acknowledging the obstacles that led to her dedication to finishing the album.
The Ruby Experience Tour
Alongside the release of Ruby, Jennie has exciting plans for her fans. On the same day the album drops, she will kick off a special three-city tour to celebrate the release. The Ruby Experience tour will visit Los Angeles on March 6, New York City on March 10, and Seoul on March 15, offering fans an intense and intimate live experience. Jennie teased the tour on Instagram, captioning it, “Intense and intimate as I like it.”
