LISA — Music Videos

From BLACKPINK to a solo identity

LISA is the stage name of Lalisa Manobal, the Thai rapper, singer and dancer who became internationally known as a member of BLACKPINK. Her musical identity combines sharply articulated rap, concise melodic hooks and a performance style in which choreography is a major expressive element. Working across Korean and English-language pop contexts, she has developed a solo catalog alongside her work with the group, using the distinction to explore different production styles and collaborations.

LALISA and Alter Ego

Her 2021 solo release LALISA paired the title track with “MONEY.” Those two songs introduced contrasting sides of her approach: a large-scale statement built around her name and a leaner, rhythm-led track. The 2025 album Alter Ego expanded the solo project, bringing together songs including “Rockstar,” “New Woman” with Rosalía and “Born Again” with Doja Cat and RAYE. The album presents multiple musical personae within one broader pop framework.

A performance-led sound

LISA’s delivery often treats the voice as part of the beat, using clipped syllables, changes in emphasis and repeated phrases to create momentum. The arrangements can draw from hip-hop, electronic dance music and mainstream pop while leaving space for movement. Listening across her solo releases reveals a continuing conversation between a distinctive rhythmic presence and increasingly varied song settings.
