BLACKPINK‘s Jennie has dropped a new single ‘Love Hangover’ featuring Dominic Fike, alongside a music video starring American actor Charles Melton.

Both the song and music video were released on January 31, marking the third song off her forthcoming solo debut album ‘Ruby’. The mellow track, which features a verse by Dominic Fike, “explores an undeniable attraction to someone who’s both toxic and intoxicating”, per a press release.

The ‘Love Hangover’ music video stars May December and Riverdale actor Charles Melton and is directed by Bradley & Pablo, known for their previous work on music videos for the likes of Harry Styles and Lil Nas X.

The visual begins with Charles Melton’s character giving a eulogy at Jennie’s funeral before her coffin is lowered into the grave, before it launches into the full backstory of events that led up to the funeral. Jennie and Charles Melton are seen on numerous dates in different settings, all of which end with fatal incidents for the former.

‘Love Hangover’ comes nearly a week after she dropped a surprise music video for another cut off her forthcoming album, a song titled ‘Zen’. That same day, the K-pop idol also announced a string of intimate shows to celebrate the release of ‘Ruby’ to take place in Los Angeles, New York and Seoul.

Along with her October 2024 single ‘Mantra’, all three songs will be released in full as part of ‘Ruby’ on March 7. The record will also feature Childish Gambino, Doechii, Dua Lipa, Kali Uchis and more.

Tony Hadley thinks Sam Fender has key Frank Sinatra quality

Tony Hadley has compared Sam Fender to Frank Sinatra and Boy George.

The former Spandau Ballet frontman is a huge fan of the 'Seventeen Going Under' hitmaker, and insisted like many iconic singers, his "voice is instantly recognisable".

Asked which current artists could have Spandau's longevity, he told the Metro newspaper's 60 Seconds column: "I'm always thinking about voices.

"Whether it's Sinatra or Boy George - when you put their records on, you know exactly who it is, It's about character.

"Sam Fender's voice is instantly recognisable. I love his music and the [Bruce] Springsteen influences."

Tony - who discovered Sam while presenting BBC Music Introducing on BBC Three Counties - also had some praised for rising star Piers Nolan.

He added: "I'm championing an artist called Piers Nolan. Instantly recognisable, incredible range and a great songwriter.

"We've got an album. The thing is what do you do with new artists now?

"Forget TikTok and all that rubbish - Piers needs to tour like Sam did."

Tony is returning later this year with a 2025 Big Band Tour, and he has recalled actually getting to meet Sinatra himself during his teenage years.

He said: "I met Sinatra when I was 17 at the Royal Albert Hall and he was really sweet. Years later, when I was doing my first solo album, I thought it would be great to get him in the video.

"I phoned his office and left a message saying, 'Hi, this is Tony Hadley. You probably won't know who I am.'

"'I'm the guy who sang True and I met Frank when I was 17. I'm gonna make a video and I'd love it if he could be in it.'"

The 64-year-old star revealed Sinatra's team phoned back to apologise that the timings wouldn't work because the 'My Way' crooner was heading on tour.

Tony added: "I could have swung from a chandelier - Frank Sinatra's office phoned Big Tone!"
