Lisa, one-fourth of the K-pop juggernaut Blackpink, has officially stepped out on her own - releasing her first solo album Alter Ego. Across rap, dance and pop, the project shows off a versatile artiste ready to embrace her time alone in the spotlight.

The Thai rapper is the second member of Blackpink to release a full-length solo project after Rosé’s sweet side-step from the band, Rosie. The album arrives as Lisa makes her acting debut in Season 3 of The White Lotus and prepares to perform at the Oscars - high-profile outings that will further her status as a global phenomenon.
