BLINK already knows LISA — now get ready to meet her alter ego. After weeks of teasing, the BLACKPINK star has finally announced that her debut solo album is on the way and will be released in a few months.
On Tuesday (Nov. 19) — a date fans have been eagerly counting down to get a cryptic timer on LISA's website — the 27-year-old performer shared that her first independent LP from the famous girl group is titled Alter Ego and is expected to arrive on February 28. He also revealed the project's cover art, which features a stylish shot of a hooded LISA showing off her sharp black nails and looking into the camera.
On her LLOUD YouTube channel, the Thai singer-rapper excited fans even more by uploading a three-minute album trailer, which expands on the teaser she posted just days before the announcement. With her eyes changing colors within the landscapes, the video finds LISA traveling from a black rock structure to an outdoor catwalk, an enchanted garden, a green motorcycle track with laser beams and a volcanic red catwalk.
According to the press release, the five locations represent the five characters that LISA impersonates on the LP, “each representing a unique personality.” “They are represented by the five points on a star, which has become a key emblem in the campaign,” the description adds.
Alter Ego will be followed by a run of three LISA singles in 2024, starting with “Rockstar” – which reached No. 70 on the Billboard Hot 100 – and will be followed by “New Woman” featuring Rosalía and “Moonlit Floor (Kiss Me).” The star has been preparing the album for months to release ahead of BLACKPINK's planned 2025 reunion, and in Bulletin board cover, talked about her perfectionism when it came to the project.
“I'm trying to figure it out, the tracklist and everything, what can I change in there,” he said Bulletin board. “Everything is there. I think they will be shocked at how capable I am [at] doing so many things.”
The star also gushed about her BLACKPINK bandmates ROSÉ — who is simultaneously forging her own solo music era this year — JENNIE and JISOO on her cover. “We know each other so well and we know how much energy we have to put into each project,” said LISA. “So we want to support and say, 'You did really well!' Like, JENNIE and Rosie just released their own songs, and we're on texts, we're on FaceTime. It's like a family.”
