Special Mention: Jennie’s Solo Comeback and Debut as OA’s First Artist
Jennie’s back with her new single ‘MANTRA‘ — a powerful dance-pop and R&B anthem with a killer disco bassline. One of the most awaited October K-Pop Music Releases, it went live on the 11th of the month. This is Jennie’s first solo track since parting ways with YG Entertainment and Interscope Records for her solo endeavors, though she’s still with YG for her BLACKPINK group activities. ‘MANTRA’ also marks her debut under her own label, Odd Atelier. Written by a star-studded team (including Jennie herself!), ‘MANTRA’ is all about celebrating girl power, and it’s the perfect lead-up to her debut album. Big names like El Guincho and Serban Cazan helped produce it, making this track one to watch!
