It’s been almost three years since BLACKPINK star LISA took the world by storm with her smash hits “Lalisa” and “Money.” Fans have been eagerly awaiting new music from the solo superstar, and on June 28th she delivered with the release of her scintillating new single “Rockstar.”
The track arrived alongside a high-octane music video, marking LISA’s first solo venture since leaving longtime label YG Entertainment last December. While BLACKPINK will continue promoting as a group, the members are now free to explore individual projects – and LISA wasted no time in sharing her next creative burst.
Signing with labels LLOUD and RCA Records, “Rockstar” shows LISA taking her signature blend of electro-pop to new heights. But eagle-eared fans have started wondering – did she spice things up with a little help from another acclaimed act?
The melodic fragment used in “Rockstar” is unmistakably reminiscent of Tame Impala frontman Kevin Parker’s psychedelic soundscape. And it wouldn’t be the first time the song was reworked – Rihanna borrowed it for her 2016 smash “Same Ol’ Mistakes.”
Whether sampling Tame Impala was intentional or not, LISA puts her own futuristic spin on the sounds. And just like her past bangers, “Rockstar” is sure to energize the summer with its nonstop energy. This epic comeback track has fans even more eager to see what she has in store next.
