Lisa, renowned for her role in the global K-pop sensation BLACKPINK, has embarked on a solo journey with the release of her debut album, Alter Ego, on February 28, 2025. This 15-track collection showcases her versatility, featuring collaborations with prominent artists such as Doja Cat, Raye, Rosalía, Future, Megan Thee Stallion, and Tyla.
The album’s concept revolves around Lisa embodying five distinct personas — Roxi, Sunni, Kiki, Speedi, and Vixi — each representing different facets of her artistry. This creative approach allows her to explore a wide range of musical styles, from rap and dance to pop.
Alter Ego has been met with mixed reviews. While some critics praise Lisa’s versatility and the album’s ambitious scope, others feel that the multitude of collaborations overshadows her individual presence. The Associated Press highlighted her “chameleonic adoption of styles” but noted that the numerous features might detract from a clear introduction to Lisa as a solo artist. Similarly, The Times described the album as “a distillation of every popular style of modern times,” suggesting that it caters to audiences who prefer their idols “flawless and impenetrable.”
In conjunction with her musical endeavors, Lisa has ventured into acting, making her debut in the third season of HBO’s The White Lotus. She is also slated to perform her single “Born Again” alongside Doja Cat and Raye at the 2025 Academy Awards, further cementing her status as a multifaceted entertainer.
