Lisa, the globally renowned Thai rapper, dancer, and member of BLACKPINK, has officially stepped into her solo spotlight with the release of her debut studio album, “Alter Ego“.
Released on February 28, 2025, through Lloud and RCA Records, the album showcases Lisa’s versatility as both a singer and rapper.
This marks her first full-length project after parting ways with YG Entertainment and Interscope Records in 2023.
Exploring the Concept of ‘Alter Ego’
The album’s concept revolves around five inner personas — Roxi, Kiki, Sunni, Speedi, and Vixi — each representing different aspects of Lisa’s personality. These alter egos bring out diverse musical styles, from hard-hitting rap to sensual R&B and pop.
With this multi-dimensional approach, Lisa delivers an innovative sound that blends hip-hop, electronic beats, and global pop influences. The result is a unique sonic experience that pushes the boundaries of her artistry.
