Not a day goes back without BLACKPINK’s Lisa making headlines. On April 15, Harper’s Bazaar Thailand exclusively hinted at the Thai stars’ debut as a solo act. Since then Lisa’s highly anticipated solo debut has caused great speculation. Following the official announcement of a release date and details about the artist’s new record, YG Entertainment has unveiled a visual teaser for the self-titled album LALISA.
Goddess of Thunder
Styled in a paisley motif red body and long braided pigtails, the youngest member of BLACKPINK, stunned fans with a visually enticing preview of her upcoming work. The video clip showed the songstress posing confidently amid thunder and lighting. The 27-second teaser might not offer a clear clue of what Lisa’s single will sound like, but undoubtedly depicts the “confidence, pride, and love for herself,” she wanted to showcase on her solo debut.
