BLACKPINK Star Jennie Releases New Digital EP FALLEN ANGEL

TL;DR Jennie released the digital EP FALLEN ANGEL on August 28, 2026. Its 2:25 title track pairs minimalist acoustic pop with intimate vocals.

BLACKPINK icon Jennie officially released her new digital EP, 'FALLEN ANGEL,' on August 28, 2026, at 1 p.m. on major streaming platforms. The 2-minute and 25-second title track delivers a minimalist acoustic pop direction marked by lyrical guitar chords and understated vocals. Moving away from the bold, high-energy glamour seen in earlier solo hits like 'Mantra' and 'Like JENNIE,' this release highlights an intimate emotional soundscape.

The track was written by Jennie, Deb Never, Daniel Aged, Jelli Dorman, Romil Hemnani, and Saya Gray, and produced by Deb Never, Daniel Aged, and Romil Hemnani. The release is credited to OA Entertainment. The song explores vulnerability, isolation, and the search for belonging, presenting home as wherever two people can remain together.

The accompanying music video visually expands these vulnerable themes through surreal imagery. It opens with a young girl reciting, 'Close your eyes like I do. We can fly. So freely,' before Jennie appears floating over a swan pond and slowly sinking beneath the water. As cracks spread across a flower-filled room, walls collapse to release swarms of butterflies into an open field. The visual sequence journeys from film-style frames and extinguished matches to a burning house where a child with angel wings guides the path, concluding with a children's choir as Jennie appears to close the viewer's eyes.

A review from thebiaslist.com observed that the track leans heavily into subdued global pop trends, describing its folk instrumentation, dreamy textures, and whispery execution as an aesthetic-focused piece that abandons rigid pop structures. While the review awarded the single a 'C' grade for its loose composition, it acknowledged that the song takes textural tropes in an unconventional direction following her previous release, 'Less Than A Lover,' from last month.

The release presents a more restrained and intimate side of Jennie's solo work, contrasting with the confident approach of earlier songs such as 'Mantra' and 'Like JENNIE.'
