Singer Jung Ji-hoon, better known by his stage name Rain, is poised to make a solo comeback with his new mini-album "PIECES by RAIN."

The artist's agency Sublime Artist Agency announced Wednesday that he will release the album on March 3.

The album will consist of five tracks, including "Switch to me," a duet with singer and producer Park Jin-young, which topped several music charts after its release on Dec. 31.

"Each track will be a differently colored song with tempos that he has never tried before," the agency said. "The concept (of the album) is to put together the pieces that represent Rain as an artist into this one album."

It added that Rain recently finished filming the music video for the album's lead single and is gearing up for the release.

This will be his first solo project in over three years since he released the album "MY LIFE愛" in December 2017.

Rain debuted in 1998 with the album "FANCLUB" and floated to fame globally in the early 2000s. He has released several hits, including the mini-album "It's Raining," which sold over 1 million copies in Asia.
