☞ KPOP NERD #001 JENNIE - SOLO
Jennie has debuted with girlgroup Blackpink under YG Entertainment back in 2016. Blackpink was YG’s attempt to slowly fadeout girlgroup 2NE1 that had already conquered the Kpop scene for 7 years. The expectations were really high but Blackpink surprised us by delivering releases that to most people felt like a worthy continuation of 2NE1’s legacy and at the same time they differentiated themselves with their own unique style. Jennie is the main rapper and a vocalist for Blackpink. She was born in Korea in 1996 and she has spent 5 years in New Zealand when she was younger. It took 6 years of training under YG to get prepared for her debut in Blackpink. Before her debut she was actually featured in various YG Entertainment’s songs and music videos like Lee Hi’s Special and G-Dragon’s That XX. Jennie is something between the cool kid and a queen when it comes to BlackPink with strong line deliveries but always in a classy way. Many people find her more attractive than the other members but of course, those things are always up to debate especially in a group like Black Pink that each of the girls are top of the range idols. It took several releases with Blackpink but finally here we have the opportunity to enjoy her first “solo” release, which is conveniently titled “Solo”.
In this breakup song Jennie is struggling with her current relationship. Just the previous night she found out her lover is cheating on her and she had a really rough time. Then she realises that all this time she has been pretending and lying to herself about this relationship, when in reality she seems quite uncomfortable and not living the romantic and intense kind of love story she wishes for. So she decides to break up with the guy, going solo and emerging stronger and independent.
My personal opinion is that I really loved this song and the music the moment it came out like I do for most Black Pink products anyways. I like the cool and well refined style and every release from Black Pink is something I wait patiently and sit down and enjoy when it comes out. I have two favorites in Black Pink and that’s Jennie and Lisa so for me it was a really nice present to see a solo release from Jennie. I’m a big fan when Trap elements are blended into female Kpop songs because I believe they bring out the inner strength of the girls something that makes them much more attractive to me rather than let’s say innocent or super romantic concepts. Everytime Jennie looks at the camera I can feel it in my heart, I’m like girl… stop it, that’s all I can take for now. I can’t wait to see what’s next from Black Pink. Maybe another solo? Could it be Lisa? I’m definitely down for that. Or for anything. Black Pink.
