BLACKPINK’s LISA Declares Herself ‘a Rock Star’ in Edgy New Teaser: Listen
LISA is keeping fans on the edges of their seats. Shortly after teasing that her next solo era is imminent, the BLACKPINK star posted what appears to be a snippet of new music on TikTok Thursday (June 13).
In the clip, LISA models a white baby tee and black miniskirt while posing for photos on the beach as boats cruise by behind her. At the end, she can be heard saying faintly, “Baby, I’m a rock star.” The global pop star paired the 14-second video with an original sound labeled “TEASER.”
The uptempo snippet pairs racing percussion with edgy, slightly distorted synths, seemingly a portion of the 27-year-old musician’s next project.
Needless to say, fans are freaking out. “IM SCREAMING I CANT WAITTT,” one person commented, while another listener wrote, “LISA DONT PLAY WITH US.”
The teaser comes a week after the Thai rapper updated her websites and social media accounts with a cryptic message reading, “Coming soon: LISA.” She also appeared to signal the start of a new era by posting a video on TikTok at the time, paired with a gritty synth beat titled “Coming Soon.”
LISA first dropped her own music in September 2021, releasing the singles “Lalisa” and “Money” via YG Entertainment and Interscope Records. The latter track became the first solo K-pop hit to surpass a billion streams on Spotify in 2023, and its music video recently became the singer’s first to reach a billion views on YouTube.
Also in 2021, LISA joined DJ Snake Ozuna and Megan Thee Stallion on a single titled “SG.” Last year, she hopped on a track with BIGBANG’s Taeyang titled “Shoong!”
LISA and her BLACKPINK bandmates JENNIE, JISOO and ROSÉ are currently on a break from full-band activities following the release of their Billboard 200-topping album Born Pink in 2022. In April, the former signed with RCA Records in anticipation of her upcoming solo efforts, inking a deal that will allow her to retain ownership of her master recordings.
“I’m super excited to be joining the RCA family, and I am confident they are the best team to create a bigger movement in my solo career,” LISA said in a statement at the time. “Looking forward to showing the world everything we have been preparing.”
