BLACKPINK’s Jisoo inks solo record deal with Warner Records

BLACKPINK star Jisoo has inked a global record deal with Warner Records.

Days after the 30-year-old K-pop star announced her debut solo mini album ‘Amortage’ is set for release on February 14, Jisoo has declared how “thrilled” she is “to kick off this seismic moment” with the major label.

She said in a statement: “I’m excited about this new era and the continuation of my musical journey.

“I feel like I’m just getting started and I’d like to thank the BLINKs for all of their love and support. This is just the beginning and I’m thrilled to kick off this seismic moment with Warner Records.”

Warner Records commented on Instagram: “We are so excited to welcome Korean superstar singer, actress and member of history-making group BLACKPINK, JISOO to the Warner Records family!”

‘Amortage’ follows her 2023 singles album, ‘Me’, which boasted the track ‘Flower’ and B-side ‘All Eyes On Me’.

Jisoo’s solo update came after her bandmate in the South Korean girl group, Jennie, revealed her debut solo album features collaborations with Dua Lipa, Doechii and Childish Gambino.

Jennie dropped a trailer for her star-studded LP, ‘Ruby’, which will land on March 7.

Dominic Fike, FKJ and Kali Uchis are also among the artists featured.

The 29-year-old star – who is releasing the record through her label Odd Atelier via a partnership with Columbia Records – shared the single ‘Mantra’ in October.

However, she admitted each song sounds “different”.

In a video posted on social media, she explained: “My album is going to sound very different. My next single is going to sound very different from ‘Mantra’, I feel like every step is going to be different …

“My hope with my album is that the world gets to see Jennie and her music as it is. Like, I wouldn’t even be mad if you hate it.

“There’s a little bit of everything for everyone. It’s like a buffet for you guys.”

A full track-listing for ‘Ruby’ is set to be announced in due course.

BLACKPINK is completed by Lisa and Rosé, both 27.

The former dropped a sci-fi-themed trailer for her debut solo album ‘Alter Ego’, which is set to land on February 28, 2025, via her label LLOUD, in partnership with RCA Records.

And she has just dropped a preview of her upcoming collaboration with Doja Cat and RAYE called ‘Born Again’, which will land on February 6.

Rosé, meanwhile, released her debut solo album ‘rosie’ in December, featuring her hit Bruno Mars collaboration ‘APT.’
