"Jennie - Solo MV reaction: Breaking Free."


"Jennie - Solo MV reaction: Breaking Free."

When I first read of the title of this song I took it quite literally. YG was giving Jennie a solo project hence the title. Well it did not have to stop there of course. Solo is about a person breaking free from what seems to be a very controlling and possessive relationship. This is shown by a couple of elements in the MV such as Jennie walking out the mansion which symbolizes her trapped status , her snapping off a pink bracelet , her taking off her white dress in the laundromat and putting on something else as she exits. And the car that she rode on which literally has the line Better off without.

YG did more than the usual stops on this one making sure that MV has everything that it will ever need to showcase Jennie. A Manor in London and all the expensive dresses not to mention the extremely high quality of the MV itself.

There have been some comparisons to Sunmi's Gashina with some people even muting the dance video and seeing it sync up to that song. However I think that this song had a heavy Dua Lipa feel to it and with the recent collaboration between BP and her I think this might have been one of those by products.

The song is catchy  and with over 50 millions views on youtube one cannot go wrong with liking it. Blinks the world over have supported this dance track and Jennie have proven that she can go Solo with the right support. The comparisons with 2ne1 will probably never end but at least BP has shown that this is really their time. As a group or Solo Artists one has to acknowledge that they are their own level of monsters.
