Of the four BLACKPINK members, JISOO has been the most measured in stepping into her solo era. Spearheaded by laid-back trap-pop track “Flower”, 2023’s ME saw the Korean vocalist and K-drama actress become the final member to release solo music—to massive success. But the two-track single album was slight, leaving fans wanting more. JISOO’s four-track follow-up, and her first since departing from YG Entertainment and Interscope Records as a soloist in 2023, is AMORTAGE—a portmanteau of “amor” and “montage”. This definition is borne out across the dance-pop album, which explores the reality-rocking attraction at the beginning of love (“earthquake”), the immersive capacity of being in love (“Your Love”), the sting of heartbreak (“TEARS”) and the power of moving on (“Hugs & Kisses”). All four tracks on AMORTAGE were produced by Blissoo, the K-pop agency JISOO formed in 2024, and music production duo The Wavys. Unlike her previous solo tracks, JISOO co-wrote the songs on AMORTAGE alongside Jordan Roman and others. The Wavys and Roman were also part of the team that crafted K-pop girl group IVE’s “Rebel Heart”, another early 2025 release.
