solo album
One-person musical project
A solo album is a music release by an individual artist performing independently, typically when that artist is also known as part of a band or group.
The term emphasizes that the work represents one person's creative vision rather than a collaborative effort.
After the band's breakup, she released her first solo album to critical acclaim.
Solo albums often allow musicians to explore styles or themes outside their group's established sound.
