It is raucous, but not anything that could be deemed “unsafe” by YG Entertainment. Lisa’s flow is surgical and almost reminiscent of Megan thee Stallion or Saweetie, but it does not illustrate her personality like they do. The lyrics reflect other standard pop songs talking about making money and independence. As a B-side track, “Money” also falls flat. The final beat switch incorporated a phrygian scale which lends itself to a more “exotic” change in sound and re-energized the track to bring it home. However, the buildup for the drop was longer and had more impact than on “Lalisa.” The trumpet backing instrumentals provided a punchy atmosphere for Lisa’s vocals, and the song’s cadence is more consistent and fiery with a high bpm that lends itself to being a fantastic dance track. “Money” continues the same pattern of standard instrumentals and punchy bass with a bright beat switch towards the end of the track. The video switches between dark and light themes, creating an excellent contrast that was reflected in the song’s instrumentals. The music video used set designs inspired by Thai mythology and architecture, which was a nice homage to Lisa’s Thai background. The chorus mostly consisted of her repeating “Lalisa love me, Lalisa love me,” which began as an interesting hook but became tired toward the end of the track. Lisa’s rapid change in cadence and flow when rapping was a bit abrupt and not as smooth as intended. The production and atmosphere seem like the same type of song that any of the three other members of Blackpink could perform. The remainder just reflected other catchy pop-trap songs with nothing to differentiate Lisa from the rest of the genre. The music itself is catchy due to the expert production but is not very memorable. The majority of the song sounds like Lisa repeating her name over and over. This would allow more space for a bridge with more substantial lyrics.Īlthough “Lalisa” is catchy with its trap beat development and backing track, the lyrics leave much to be desired. The strong buildups and drops contribute to the song’s catchy nature, although it would be nice if there was a longer amount of time spent toward the buildup. There was room for her to be more aggressive and unique with her vocals but they were probably hampered by her production agency, which is notoriously controlling of its artists. The rap interludes were bold and gave space for Lisa to show her vocals off to the audience.
There were some needless beat switches throughout the track that make the song lack coherence in its theme. “Lalisa” the song erupted with heavy hitting 808s after a buildup of poppy synth instrumentals, very reminiscent of Blackpink’s recent discography. “Lalisa” consists of two songs, the title track “Lalisa” and a B-side track “Money,” so the album is arguably more comparable to an EP.
10 after a social media whirlwind developed by YG Entertainment. Blackpink’s Lisa made her much-awaited solo album debut “Lalisa” on Sept.
