BLACKPINK’s Jennie has been making waves with her latest solo musical project, “Ruby.” The idol’s heavy rollout, amazing collaborations, and astonishing music videos have finally paid off, as she is being considered as one of the major exponents of the Kpop scene worldwide.
On June 5, the American magazine Rolling Stone published its midyear roundup of “The Best Albums of 2025 So Far,” which spans many different genres and styles. What caught the attention of the K-Netizens was Jennie’s appearance on the list.
Maura Johnston, from Rolling Stone, stated that Jennie’s solo album, “Ruby,” was one of the releases selected for this year’s list and gave a short but substantial statement on why the album deserves to be part of this prestigious list.
“The latest in this year’s series of solo projects from BLACKPINK’s four members, the quick-moving ‘Ruby’ leans heavily into the ideas that dominated R&B-leaning pop in the ‘00s and ‘10s, sometimes intriguingly updating them.”
