BLACKPINK’s Rosé has signed with Atlantic Records for her forthcoming solo projects. Earlier today, she announced the global deal on Instagram. Atlantic Records is home to prominent artists such as Bruno Mars, Charli XCX, and Ed Sheeran.
“I know you’ve all waited sooo long for this moment, but i hope you’re READY for what’s in store for the next few months!! i CANNOTTT wait for you all to hear everything!! so hang on tight!!miss you all dearly,” the Korean-Australian singer wrote.
Rosé also revealed the launch of her new ‘finsta’ account @vampirehollie, where she and her team will provide updates on her solo music. Interestingly, the account’s handle is the same as an upcoming song she hinted at to fans back in February.

In June, the K-pop star announced that she had signed with The Black Label for her solo endeavours. This decision followed six months after all four members of BLACKPINK chose not to renew their individual contracts with YG Entertainment in late 2023.
At the time, Rosé said that she personally “didn’t want to speak or announce anything before I had everything aligned for my music to be out,” but shared that she had been “in and out of the studio almost every single day” in preparation of her upcoming solo record.
The singer’s upcoming release will mark her first solo music since her debut single album, R, in 2021, which featured the tracks ‘On The Ground’ and ‘Gone.’ She also performed the solo B-side ‘Hard To Love’ on BLACKPINK’s 2022 studio album, ‘Born Pink’.
This announcement follows closely on the heels of fellow BLACKPINK member Jennie’s solo deal with Columbia Records, a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment. Meanwhile, bandmate Lisa began her partnership with RCA Records in April, under which she has released two singles: ‘Rockstar’ and ‘New Woman’ featuring Rosalía.
Last week, YG Entertainment revealed plans for BLACKPINK to return with a new album in 2025, accompanied by a world tour, marking their first group music since Born Pink.
