BLACKPINK’s Lisa and Spanish singer Rosalía have joined forces to release a powerful new single, “New Woman,” marking a significant moment in both artists’ careers. The song, released on August 16, 2024, showcases their individual strengths while celebrating themes of self-empowerment and transformation.
New Woman blends Lisa’s K-pop influences with Rosalía’s flamenco-inspired sound, creating a vibrant song. The track was co-written by notable figures in the music industry, including Max Martin and Tove Lo, who contributed to its production and background vocals. The lyrics explore the idea of rebirth and embracing a new identity, themes that resonate deeply with the artists’ personal and professional journeys.
The music video, directed by Dave Meyers, adds a visual layer to the song’s message of self-discovery. Filmed in Los Angeles, the video features stunning imagery of the two artists in surreal, intertwined scenes that symbolize different facets of the same powerful woman. Meyers’ direction brings out the song’s essence, with each frame designed to capture the viewer’s attention and amplify the empowering narrative.
Lisa and Rosalía’s collaboration has been met with excitement from fans worldwide, particularly because it highlights Lisa’s evolving artistry under her new agency, LLOUD, and Rosalía’s continued influence on the global music scene. The song’s release follows Lisa’s recent solo single “Rockstar”, and is part of her ongoing efforts to establish herself as a versatile artist beyond her work with BLACKPINK.
This release not only strengthens the global appeal of both artists but also reinforces the growing trend of cross-cultural collaborations in the music industry, where different genres and styles blend to create something truly unique.
