Lisa and Rosalía Flex Their Starpower in Stylish Video for ‘New Woman’ Single
variety.comThania Garcia How’s that for an international link-up? Blackpink‘s Lisa and Rosalía have teamed up for a new upbeat pop single dubbed “New Woman,” released under Lisa’s own label LLoud Co.
with RCA Records. Co-written by Swedish singer Tove Lo, and produced by Ariana Grande’s go-to hitmakers, Max Martin and Ilya, “New Woman” arrived Thursday with an ultra-stylish music video.
In the Dave Meyers-directed video, Lisa starts with a high-speed bang, delivering speedy verses about walking through fire to rediscover she’s a “New Woman” with “revved up aura.” “Bitch, you better swerve / Revving up my uh-uh-uh-uh-aura,” sings Lisa after introducing the track as courtesy of “Lalisa and Rosalía.” The song completely switches paces (at around the one-minute mark) and slows down for Rosalía’s whispered Spanish lyrics to come in: “Yo vivo pa’ cantar, no canto pa’ vivir” (“I live to sing, not sing to live.”) The new single follows the release of Lisa’s Ryan Tedder and Sam Homaee-produced “Rockstar” single, Lisa’s first solo release in three years.
The K-pop star came up as a coveted member of Blackpink, a four-member group with massive wins on charts across the globe. Lisa is set to appear in co-headlining set at the Global Citizen Festival in September alongside Post Malone, Doja Cat, Jelly Roll and Rauw Alejandro.
