#SHOWBIZ: BlackPink's Lisa drops new single 'Rockstar'

KUALA LUMPUR: Rapper, singer, dancer, and BlackPink member Lalisa Manobal, better known as Lisa, released her new single, Rockstar, today.

The new track under LLOUD Co. and RCA Records, produced by Ryan Tedder and Sam Homaee, showcases the 27-year-old superstar's ability to effortlessly flow between dexterous raps and high-energy pop vocals.

An official music video of Rockstar, directed by Henry Schofield and choreographed by Sean Bankhead, has also been released.

Shot on location in Bangkok, Thailand, the video sees Lisa taking over the city with an ode to her Thai culture and authentic Thai street life as she embodies her true rockstar with showstopping choreography.

Lisa first teased the new single earlier this month on social media through the launch of her TikTok account which set a Guinness World Record by gaining 1M followers in 2 hours and 18 minutes.

She announced the single last week to much fanfare and excitement from fans as well as the likes of Rolling Stone, Billboard and more.

Rockstar' is Lisa's first solo single released under the new partnership with her management company LLOUD Co. and RCA Records.

Launched earlier this year, LLOUD CO. was founded by Lisa in an effort to create a platform to showcase her overall vision in music and entertainment that pushes boundaries.

Beyond her success with international K-Pop sensation BlackPink, Lisa has broken several records globally as a solo artiste with singles Lalisa and Money charting in the top 10 of the Billboard Global 200 and Money holding the record as the longest-charting song by a solo female K-Pop artiste on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US and on the UK Singles Chart.

Lisa broke three Guinness World Records in 2023 as the K-Pop artiste with the most Instagram followers (currently at 103 million followers on the platform).

She is also the first solo K-Pop winner at both the MTV Video Music Awards and the MTV European Music Awards.

Outside of music, Lisa is set to star in Season 3 of the hit HBO Original series, The White Lotus.

This role will mark her major screen debut and is filming in her native Thailand.
