Blackpink members are actively making solo comebacks, with Jennie, Jisoo, and Lisa releasing new music around the same period. This concentrated activity, where each member pursues distinct musical directions and manages their solo endeavors through individual labels, is generating significant buzz, especially as it coincides with Blackpink's 10th anniversary year.
Jennie's EP "Fallen Angel" was released in August, following a July single, and is characterized by a dreamy, vocal-focused sound incorporating elements of dream pop, folk, lo-fi, and soft rock. Lisa's single "SaWaDiKa" debuted on September 4, a hip-hop track highlighting her rapping and performance, which quickly achieved global success with over 100 million music video views in two days and strong Spotify streams. Lisa is also set to release her EP "PRESS PLAY" on October 23 and has solo concerts scheduled in Las Vegas for November. Jisoo's single "CLICK," also released on September 4, marks the beginning of a series of singles intended to culminate in her first solo full album, with the track exploring themes of irresistible attraction.
Local bloggers highlight the distinct artistic paths chosen by each member: Jennie's focus on the music itself, Lisa's emphasis on performance, and Jisoo's approach to storytelling. This varied approach allows each member to authentically showcase their unique individuality. The concurrent releases have naturally fostered comparisons and heightened fan engagement, with each member's current activity building anticipation for their respective future projects.
