How you like that, BLINKs? BLACKPINK announced on Wednesday (Jan. 14) that its highly anticipated new album is set to arrive in just a matter of weeks — on Feb. 27.

The album, titled Deadline, was announced via the K-pop supergroup’s social media accounts. According to the Instagram post, it will be a mini album. No other details have been revealed yet. The title of the upcoming release is the same as the global superstars’ world tour in 2025, which kicked off July 5 and 6 at the Goyang Sports Complex in South Korea. It was the first time JENNIE, JISOO, ROSÉ and LISA had performed together as a unit since 2023.

The women had taken some time off from the group to focus on their own personal projects, which included solo albums, as well as acting projects such as HBO’s The Idol for JENNIE, and The White Lotus season three for LISA.

Ahead of the Deadline World Tour in 2025, the group reunited to record “Jump,” its high-energy new song, which was officially released on July 11. The track debuted and peaked at No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 on the July 28-dated chart. It remained on the tally for 10 weeks.

In JENNIE’s January 2025 Billboard cover story, she shared that she had missed the rest of the girls during their time apart to focus on their solo projects. However, she teased that big things were to come for the group: “I want to say it’s going to be the most powerful [versions] of ourselves that anyone has seen.”

Toronto Producer Loukeman Talks 'Sd-3' and DJing the Biggest Stages of His Career: Interview

With a cult following album series, collaborations with PinkPantheress and A$AP Rocky and a co-sign from global star Fred again.. the genre-blurring DJ-producer is growing in scale while chasing a feeling. Tonight (June 26) he plays Montreal's Piknic Électronik festival alongside Four Tet.

Loukeman's music is living on a feeling.

Back in April, the Toronto DJ/producer released his third album Sd-3, capping off a trilogy of albums that began in 2021 with his beat tape Sd-1 and has since earned him a cult fanbase. He has long operated in a unique lane bridging indie, alternative and dance textures into a unique sonic landscape full of pitched vocals, raw ambience and glitchy textures, a DIY approach that dates back to his beginnings making mash-ups on VirtualDJ as a kid.
