Two of the hottest names of the moment take the spotlight this Friday, offering a collaboration, music video included, that will have everyone talking. Translated in modern terms, two queens coming together to maximise their joint slay. Fuelling up for the very awaited release of her debut solo album, Blackpink's Jennie joins forces with swamp royalty Doechii in a move that further consolidates them both as versatile musicians and that expands the current movement that is shaking up the industry, where the female artists of every genre are ruling the charts, the streams, and the conversation.
ExtraL is the third single from her upcoming album Ruby, which is shaping up to be one of the key albums of 2025, with features that include Childish Gambino, Kali Uchis, Dua Lipa, and Dominic Fike—this last one released as a single under the name Love Hangover with an entertaining video starring Charles Melton. Her collaboration with Doechii, the three-time Grammy winner who found the peak and the consolidation of her career after the release of her album Alligator Bites Never Heal and her incredibly viral and praised Tiny Desk, comes in the shape of a hypnotic song that blends both artists' unique and powerful rap styles.
The music video is a surreal trip directed by Cole Bennett from Lyrical Lemonade that perfectly translates in a sleek and creative way the empowering lyrics. To add to the aesthetics, both artists wear custom Schiaparelli suits with gold details and jewellery, fitting the dreamlike aspect of it all. With another unique and successful single, Jennie is constructing her solo path while also getting ready for the Blackpink World Tour that has just been announced. The girls never stop.
