Jennie’s Solo Album: RUBY
Jennie’s debut solo album, RUBY, marks a significant milestone in her career. The album, which features 15 tracks, aims to showcase her multifaceted artistic side, combining various elements and genres. Fans can look forward to collaborations with renowned artists such as Doechii, Dua Lipa, Childish Gambino, Kali Uchis, and FKJ. RUBY will be released under Jennie’s newly established label, ODD ATELIER, after her exit from YG Entertainment.
