Lisa, from the renowned K-pop group BLACKPINK, has officially released her latest solo single, “Rockstar.” The track, produced by San Homaee and OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, is an energetic blend of early 2000s J-hip-hop with a touch of contemporary R&B/hip-hop, especially noticeable during the bridge.
