Jennie of BLACKPINK has once again captured the hearts of fans as she shared with the world her very own music video “Handlebars,” featuring global pop star Dua Lipa. This one was directed by BRTHR, a director duo known for their experimental style and vibrant imagery.
Handlebars is a dreamy mid-tempo track off Jennie’s debut solo album, Ruby, which is getting widespread acclaim for its mix of sounds and fearless artistic choice. Although fans initially believed that “Like Jennie” was the final single from the album, Jennie has left BLINKS in awe with this surprise release as the 4th music video from Ruby.
The song became a favorite among fans after the album dropped. The music video for “Handlebars” captures the surreal imagery and emotional storytelling. She steers a two-wheeled metaphor into realizing she falls for love too deeply. The visuals are plenty with glitter aesthetics and trippy sequences, complementing the song’s reflective character.
There are bright pop culture references interspersed with cinematic moments and inventive editing. It adds extra allure to the project via Dua Lipa’s presence. Once they had worked on “Kiss and Make Up,” the anticipation for what came next had been smoldering just under the surface.
With “Handlebars,” the two powerhouse singers intertwine their vocals: Jennie’s sultry tones mix smoothly with those of Dua Lipa. Fans have raved not only about their musical rapport but also how gorgeous they look in the video, capturing them in ethereal and glamorous settings.
