JENNIE: The Ruby Interview with Zane Lowe

JENNIE sits down with Zane Lowe to discuss her upcoming debut solo album, Ruby.

After years of creating alongside BLACKPINK, recording her first solo project was a deeply self-reflective experience. She opens up about reconnecting with herself throughout the process and how that journey shaped the album we’re about to hear.

She has never been this open before, love how comfortable she is with sharing her feelings with us

[strowflybee]

"So I told myself I'm gonna make this album as I like it, I don't care what anyone else is gonna say about it." go girl, u got it

[BLINKTARDIO]

Like Teddy Park said once about Jennie: "(...) she´s super clear. Her opinions, her emotions. She´s a perfectionist".

[Imymemy]

What I realized in this video is that Jennie is such an intelligent and eloquent lady.

[KOVUdei]

Her mom is an amazing mother, look at the confident superstar she raised.

[vperz]

I love how he makes her very comfortable. Normally she’s a very secretive and private person who doesn’t share stuffs

[mmmm-urkn]

Jennie is such an eloquent speaker like I can never get tired of her talking

[rooxane]

She’s getting even prettier by the day

[JJK]

As a blink, I feel Jennie is the most creative in the group. She MAKES the trends and she IS the trend.

[jazztherhythm]

I’m crying, literally. It just hit me now that we’re finally receiving JNK1 we’ve been expecting for so long and I’m so happy to see this side of Jennie.

[KEIRN]

HAVING DOMINIC FIKE, DUA, KALI, CHILDISH GAMBINO AND DOECHII ON THE SAME ALBUM WILL FOREVER BE ICONIC!!!

[allernow]

*This all proves how YG was holding her back all these years, she’s born to be a star and showcase her talents. Parting ways with YG for her solo career was probably the best decision of her life, she’s mind blowing! Good job Jennie I’m proud of you!*

[Jane-jpl]

Watching this from start to finish made me realize that Jennie is not just intelligent and talented, she is a true artist. In this podcast, she talks about her first solo album, something she created entirely on her own, pouring her emotions into every note, every lyric, every detail. It wasn’t just music; it was a piece of her soul, shaped by struggle, dedication, and the courage to show the world who she truly is.

But more than that, she also opened up about her past, the pressure she endured, the battles she fought behind the scenes. She went through so much, facing countless challenges, moments of doubt, exhaustion, and perhaps even the urge to give up. But she kept going, kept standing, and kept choosing to move forward, even when the path wasn’t easy, even when the world wasn’t always kind.

Jennie, you didn’t just create music, you carved out a space for yourself, a place where your emotions and authenticity could be heard. You’ve worked so hard, and what you’ve built is more than just an album; it’s a journey, a testament to your resilience. I hope you know that you are loved, appreciated, and more than enough. I’m so proud of you.

[sherrynsydn]

This feels so raw and intimate. Jennie is so private and it's rare of her to talk about her personal self in this way publicly. She has strong sense of herself. Ruby isn't just an album but a part of herself.

[tiya_pov]

I admire this girl alot, she is actually an introvert but infront of right people she lets it all out, here her true personality is coming through. She is actually a visionary and very unique person.

[justinhailey]

columbia records are so much lacklaster in promoting Jennie . No CDs, No Versions, No ads, she has vevo deal, no playlisting, no Tths, and NO RADIO. Despite off all that every song of hers Debuted on Hot 100 - that's the real organic Global superstar out there your honor!!!

[linalia]

I don't care how many people are gonna listen to Ruby, either it's gonna be popular or not, I'm already in love with this album, and I'm not saying this just because I'm a fan, but because I really really like it. The whole concept, music, especially waiting for Zen in spotify

[lizamariepangilinan]

This is by far Jennie’s most intimate and vulnerable interview. I know it hasn’t been easy for her to open up, but once again, just like with Rosé, I’d like to thank Zane for creating a safe space for her to share and for asking the right, sincere questions.

I love listening to your conversations with every artist. You truly understand them and connect with them.

I can’t wait for the world to hear Ruby. She poured her heart and soul into this album, and I’m sure it will be incredible. Thank you, Jennie, for sharing your beautiful art with us.

[viilanteshit]

Not to compare but she’s by far the most eloquent and articulate BP member, she has such substance and intellect to her words

[Shabz]

JENNIE should really open her own podcast. I think this is the longest interview she ever done and the most open about herself. RUBY is going to be one of the most great, refine album to be released.
