Beyonce and Gaga. Madonna and Britney. If there’s anything the music industry loves, it’s an epic collaboration between two powerful queens. Better yet if it involves the likes of two pop icons across different locales, who happen to have formed a serendipitous friendship. Which is perhaps why the Internet collectively rejoiced in exclamation when Lisa announced her newest track ‘New Woman’ featuring Rosalía.
In 2023, the two debuted their friendship via a string of cheeky photos on a museum date after their respective stages at Coachella in Los Angeles. Now as Lisa is embracing her solo era, it is only fitting that she has roped in the Spanish powerhouse to chime in on the superstar’s quest to reclaim a brand “new woman”.
Stomping in the footsteps of her first single ‘Rockstar’ from her latest comeback, ‘New Woman’ is a sinuous, groovy track that sings of Lisa’s unravelling of a new self. She talks of blooming like a flower, walking through the fire, taking her time and rediscovering herself. Alongside the hard-hitting proses, comes a technicoloured proliferation of the Blackpink star in a series of showstopping montages. Equal parts kitschy and sensual, the music video peels back the layers of the new Lisa that’s coming to the fore, accentuated by the highly-anticipated Rosalía feature. Of course, that also means a starry spectacle of dynamic beauty looks. From blonde bombshell to shaggy curls, the ‘New Woman’ MV is further proof that there’s no transformation that Lisa can’t serve.

Blonde siren
The first time we see Lisa in ‘New Woman’, she’s unrecognisable in sleek platinum blonde tresses. Like the ultimate femme fatale, smoky graphic liner draws out her eyes that tell a story.

Glossy goddess
One thing is for sure: Lisa’s face card never declines. It shows in this glassy mien where the Thai native stuns in a swathe of sunset hues and a juicy pout.

Glitter gams
We always appreciate a grooming moment; especially one that employs a sheen of pink glitter getting waxed off.

Lilac dreams
Let’s just say the lead-up to this look was nothing short of spectacular. Here, Lisa adorns purple atop her lids and the apples of her cheeks, while serving face in a sleek updo.

Tethered souls
An intimate moment with our favourite duo, as we see the two interlinked via their facial piercings whilst Rosalía whispers to Lisa seductively in her native tongue.
