On May 14, netizens around the world were very excited by rumors that BLACKPINK’s Lisa will soon make her long-awaited solo comeback.
This news immediately generated hype on social networks, especially after Ryan Tedder, leader of the band One Republic who has contributed to the production and composition of great songs for Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, Demi Lovato, Ellie Goulding, and BLACKPINK, published on his Instagram stories that he was working “with a Thai artist to produce a new song,” and hours later he made a similar publication but this time tagging Lisa.
It is also strongly hinted that Lisa’s rumored album will include a special collaboration with Spanish artist Rosalía. This is due to Rosalía’s recent Instagram post, in which the Thai flag and the number 9 appear, most likely alluding to the release month, which would be in September.
The possibility of Lisa collaborating with Rosalía is credible, as Lisa previously mentioned in her vlog that she wanted to work with Rosalía and Tyla on her solo album, moreover, the two are close friends. In the past, Rosalía met Lisa backstage at Coachella and in September 2023, Lisa was seen at Rosalía’s birthday party.
