TOP 5
5. twin
“twin” is a tender, acoustic-driven track that showcases JENNIE’s emotional depth through heartfelt vocals. Its raw vulnerability sets it apart, as she delivers lyrics that feel like an intimate, personal letter. In this song, she reflects on holding onto someone from her past, cherishing their presence despite the distance. I truly appreciate this honest, emotional, and authentic side of her songwriting.
4. Filter
I really enjoyed listening to “Filter.” It’s one of the more upbeat tracks on the album while still showcasing JENNIE’s soft, alluring vocals. The song delivers a powerful message about embracing your true self without apology, despite others’ judgments or attempts to mask their identity—much like a “filter.” With its compelling theme and captivating sound, this track is a must-listen.
3. Damn Right (feat. Childish Gambino & Kali Uchis)
This track brings together uniquely different artists, seamlessly blending their styles into one mesmerizing sound. With a smooth, sensual vibe, a light beat, and soft vocals, it naturally makes you want to move and sway along. The lyrics exude confidence, embracing sensual power, while Childish Gambino’s perspective adds a layer of lust and attraction from the receiving end.
2. with the IE (way up)
“With the IE (way up)” is an electrifying track that exudes confidence and boss energy. The rhythmically enticing sound, paired with JENNIE’s bold delivery, creates an empowering vibe that radiates bad b energy. She cleverly samples “Jenny from the Block,” giving it a fresh, modern twist that perfectly aligns with her signature style.
1. ExtraL (feat. Doechii)
“ExtraL” is a powerhouse collaboration that brings together two of the most influential women in music. Both artists deliver flawless rap verses that seamlessly blend with the pop-driven chorus, creating an electrifying and confident sound. The track exudes intensity and empowerment, with Doechii’s bold presence elevating it to another level.
