Jennie’s journey as a solo artist began after parting ways with YG Entertainment. Her last single, ‘You & Me’, was released in October 2023, followed by a collaboration with The Weeknd and Lily Rose Depp on ‘One of the Girls’. The artist’s recent achievements include crossing 1 billion streams on Spotify, a testament to her global appeal and the first for a K-pop soloist without an album.
The upcoming track ‘Slow Motion’ will also feature as the third single on Matt Champion’s debut album, ‘Mika’s Laundry’. Fans eagerly await the fusion of Jennie’s melodic prowess with Champion’s lyrical depth, a collaboration that promises to be both innovative and nostalgic.
As we edge closer to the release, the music industry buzzes with speculation and excitement. Will ‘Slow Motion’ propel Jennie to new heights in her solo career? Only time—and the charts—will tell. Stay tuned for the midnight release and join the global audience in witnessing a new chapter in Jennie’s musical journey.
