JISOO, the beloved K-pop star and BLACKPINK member, is stepping into her own spotlight with the release of her debut solo mini-album, *AMORTAGE*. Dropped on February 14, 2025—coinciding with both Valentine's Day and her 30th birthday—the project marks a deeply personal and artistic milestone for the singer. With four emotionally resonant tracks, JISOO ushers in a fresh era in her musical journey, blending lyrical vulnerability with a polished pop sound.

*AMORTAGE*, a title crafted from the fusion of the words “amore” (love in Italian) and “montage,” is a conceptual representation of a "montage of love." Each song explores a different facet of love and emotional connection, from heartbreak and longing to tenderness and nostalgia. The mini-album features the tracks “Earthquake,” “Your Love,” “Tears,” and “Hugs & Kisses,” all produced by the accomplished Blissoo and The Wavys. JISOO herself co-wrote each song alongside Jordan Roman and a team of talented collaborators, signaling her growing influence not just as a performer but also as a songwriter and storyteller.

While JISOO made her initial solo debut in 2023 with the digital singles “FLOWER” and “All Eyes on Me,” *AMORTAGE* is her first full solo project. It cements her place as the final BLACKPINK member to fully explore solo work, following the successful individual releases by her bandmates LISA, JENNIE, and ROSÉ. Her approach is distinct—where others leaned into dance-pop and R&B, JISOO’s *AMORTAGE* feels more intimate, offering sonic landscapes that let her soft yet powerful vocals take center stage.

JISOO’s evolution as a solo artist arrives on the heels of an already glittering career. As a member of BLACKPINK, she’s earned nine songs on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped the group top the Billboard 200 with their chart-smashing album *Born Pink*. In 2023, BLACKPINK made global headlines as the first Korean act to headline Coachella, further cementing their influence on international music and culture. Yet, with *AMORTAGE*, JISOO is carving a lane that is unmistakably hers—one that fuses sincerity with artistic depth.

This release also marks JISOO’s first musical offering since signing with Warner Records in January 2025. The global label deal signifies a new chapter not just in her career, but in her global outreach. “I’m excited about this new era and the continuation of my musical journey,” JISOO shared in a statement. “I feel like I’m just getting started, and I’d like to thank the BLINKs for all of their love and support. This is just the beginning, and I’m thrilled to kick off this seismic moment with Warner Records.” Her words resonate with fans who have watched her growth from group member to individual artist, celebrating both her past and the boundless potential of her future.

What makes *AMORTAGE* particularly noteworthy is how it doesn’t just showcase JISOO’s vocal abilities—it reveals her emotional range and her ability to weave narrative through music. Each song functions like a cinematic vignette: “Earthquake” dives into the tremors of a broken relationship, “Your Love” reflects the warmth and ache of romantic yearning, “Tears” delivers a vulnerable ballad soaked in melancholy, while “Hugs & Kisses” closes the project on a sweet, hopeful note. The production is crisp yet delicate, highlighting JISOO’s artistic vision and personal sensibilities.

JISOO’s solo endeavor is more than a side project; it’s a statement of independence, artistry, and growth. *AMORTAGE* is not just an album—it’s a love letter to fans, a celebration of self-expression, and the launchpad for a promising solo career. With her signature grace and quiet strength, JISOO is proving that she’s more than ready to take center stage on her own terms.
