Jisoo's New Album COMING SOON After Eyes Closed! Reveals Taylor Swift, Britney Spears Are Her References - 'If I'm Not Active...'
Times Now
Blackpink's Jisoo is creating waves across global music charts with her latest single Eyes Closed, her first collab with former One Direction member Zayn Malik. The Blackpink lead vocalist has made her solo
debut on the Billboard Hot 100, and also became the first K-pop soloist to debut at No. 1 on the Official British Asian Music Chart. Jisoo is now gearing up for her new album with more than four songs, unlike her previous mini EP.
Jisoo talks about new album
In a chat with Vanity Fair, Jisoo dropped major details leaving BLINKs excited. "Ofcourse there is! Last time I prepared a mini album with four songs. This time I prepared more songs. I've been working really hard since the start of the year to show the fans. I think the fans want a variety of content, so I've been working on more videos, and I've been working hard to show more diverse sides of myself. Please look forward to it," the 30-year-old said.
Her inspirations and references
Jisoo also revealed where she takes inspiration from. She said he usually watches Taylor Swift and Britney Spears music videos for references. "I really like them personally, so I'll watch them and think I really want to capture this vibe and get ideas like that," Jisoo shared.
BLINKs are ecstatic
Fans flooded social media to share their happiness. One user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "Finally a full Jisoo era is coming we’re about to be fed so well — vocals, visuals, vibes, everything." Another fan reacted, "I know JISOO’s album gonna be one of the best selling album when it comes out." A post read, "i hope to see versatility in her full album, like lisa and jennie's recent solo album." One user added, "Artists usually avoid stating that they saw these people to make music or videos but jisoo has always been open about how she always sees others and then works in her own right."ALSO READ: Eyes Closed: Jisoo Becomes First K-Pop Act EVER To Debut At No. 1 On THIS British Chart; Collab With Zayn Malik Breaks More Records
Jisoo has been having a busy year. She recently returned to the stage as her group Blackpink embarked on DEADLINE World Tour, following the release of their comeback single Jump earlier this year. As per rumours, another Blackpink song and possibly a group album is also expected by the year end, if not later.
Jisoo on keeping herself busy
Jisoo also returned to acting with her zombie-comedy K-drama Newtopia. Speaking of her acting projects, she said in the same interview, "I haven't had that many roles that are bright," though fans refuse to believe and rally behind all her shows as an actress."I feel like my fans know me so well at this point because we've spent so much time together. If I'm not active, they'll say, 'Maybe she's just at home watching cartoons.' And I'm like, 'oh, that right! How do they know?'," she said with a smile.
