Blackpink’s Lisa is laying the groundwork for the next stage of her solo career by inking a new deal with RCA Records.
The announcement of the partnership didn’t come with any info about when new music might be released, but one key detail of the deal was revealed: Lisa will retain full ownership over all of her recordings.
“I’m super excited to be joining the RCA family and I am confident they are the best team to create a bigger movement in my solo career,” Lisa said in a statement. “Looking forward to showing the world everything we have been preparing.”
Lisa released her solo debut, Lalisa, in 2021 through Blackpink’s longtime label/agency YG Entertainment, as well as Interscope Records. That same year, she also teamed up with DJ Snake, Ozuna, and Megan Thee Stallion for the song “SG,” but after that, her solo work took a backseat as Blackpink released and toured in support of their 2022 album Born Pink. In 2023, outside her Blackpink duties, Lisa found time to collaborate with Korean singer Taeyang on the song, “Shoong!,” and release a special Christmas Eve cover of Britney Spears’ “My Only Wish (This Year).”
Lisa’s RCA deal comes several months after all four members of Blackpink decided to take the reins of their own solo careers by declining to renew their individual contracts with YG Entertainment (they’ll stay with the agency for all group activities, though). That announcement came a few days after Jennie launched her own endeavor, Odd Atelier, which will function as a recordand entertainment company.
Along with (ostensibly) prepping new music, Lisa is set to make her acting debut after scoring a role in Season Three of The White Lotus. No details about Lisa’s character were revealed, but she’ll be appearing alongside a stacked ensemble cast that includes Walton Goggins, Parker Posey, Michelle Monaghan, Carrie Coon, Leslie Bibb, Christian Friedel, Patrick Schwarzenegger, and Natasha Rothwell (returning as Belinda from Season One). Production on Season Three began in Thailand in February, and the show is expected to return in 2025.
