Amortage is the upcoming debut solo extended play by South Korean singer Jisoo. It is scheduled to be released on February 14, 2025, through her label Blissoo and Warner Records. The EP will mark her first solo release since departing from YG Entertainment and Interscope Records in 2023.
Following the conclusion of Blackpink's Born Pink World Tour in 2023, Jisoo announced her departure from YG Entertainment for solo activities, establishing her own label named Blissoo in February 2024. [1] In July, Jisoo revealed through her Bubble chat handle that she intended to work on more projects, sharing: "After filming is over, I will work hard to prepare so that I can meet Blink again soon." The comment sparked speculation of a potential solo comeback once her filming commitments to her roles in Newtopia and The Prophet: Omniscient Reader concluded. In October, she further teased several songs that she would be releasing as a soloist, as well as Blackpink's upcoming comeback the next year, on the same platform. [2] During a livestream in December, she confirmed that her album preparations were almost done and revealed that it would have more songs than her debut single album Me , which consisted of two tracks. [3] On January 28, 2025, Jisoo announced that she had signed a global label deal with Warner Records for her solo music. [4]
Described as her "most comprehensive solo work yet", Amortage is said to mark the "rebirth of the global superstar." [5] The EP's title is a portmanteau of the words "amor", the Latin word for "love", and "montage", reflecting the record's themes of "the emotional stages of love and the defining moments of a relationship". [6]
On January 13, 2025, Jisoo began teasing a mystery project with a teaser video released on her social media accounts. In the six-second clip, a lie detector needle is shown scratching wavelength patterns onto graph paper, followed by an end screen with the date February 14. [7] A subsequent post on January 22 teased the project's title in a poster featuring the words "Amor Montage", which was also captioned: "A montage of love". On January 26, she confirmed that her debut extended play Amortage would be released on Valentine's Day. [8] The reveal was accompanied by a roll-out schedule with dates for two album covers, pre-orders, the tracklist, and three concept posters leading up to the EP's release. [9] Following the announcement of her signing with Warner Records on January 28, it was confirmed that Amortage would be released through the label. [10]
