It further creates this lane for Jisoo, and breaks out of the K-pop expectation that everything has to be super sharp and super energetic. There’s no real refinement to anything other than the cinematography and Jisoo’s outfits, and I like that. And I really dig the choreography and Jisoo’s movements, because again, it’s so un-Blackpink, and kinda un K-pop. It was nice to see a K-pop music video shot on location. (Who woulda thought she’d turn out to be the fashion girly of the group?). The whole thing was pretty much a fashion commercial. And visually it is a very un-Blackpink and YG looking music video, despite it being directed. The music video for “Flower” sees Jisoo joining the Millennium Biltmore Hotel Cinematic Universe, alongside Britney Spears, Janet Jackson and Taylor Swift.

Jisoo - Flower, Directed by Han Sa-min | YG Entertainment Even if it were just the introduction of a new sound or an extra set of vocals during the final run of the chorus. But “Flower” really does sound like it needed an extra 30 seconds worth of song and just a TOUCH of variation. And yet it doesn’t feel it, because it is still a complete sounding song. Only recently did I realise that BoA’s “Forgive Me” is under 3 minutes. I’m all for a short song, if it feels complete. The cadence of a Blackpink song is still there (which is actually more a Teddy Park thing, because 2NE1 songs had similar cadences), but the overall vibe feels very separate, and I dig that.Ī common issue across music at the moment, but especially pop, is that songs are all clocking in under 3 minutes and very much sounding it. But with Jisoo, there is always a sense that she doesn’t quite fit the sound or the look of the group - which is why her going solo intrigued me the most, as it would provide her an opportunity to really tap into something different, and “Flower” kinda does that. Blackpink’s sound feels like it’s primarily a vehicle for Lalisa and Jenny, whilst Rosé and Jisoo just have to try and fit into it. But one of many issues with it, is that it doesn’t really showcase the whole group.

Lisa’s intuition on what will succeed and also what will suit her as an artist never fails. She said, “I’m trying to imagine me in the song, like, performing.”īoth “LALISA” and “MONEY” share Lisa’s signature color and swag as an artist which made them an easy choice for her. When listening to the songs, Lisa tries to envision how she fits the song by creating an image of the performance in her head. But she has also become one of the leading faces of the fashion industry too.Īs per reports in Korea Boo, on the Zach Sang Show, Teddy, YG Entertainment’s producer, played some songs for Lisa and the two that immediately jumped out at her were “LALISA” and “MONEY.”

Lisa has done wonders in the industry, undoubtedly. One of the members Lisa is considered as one of the top artists. BlackPink, the famous South-Korean girl band, has now risen to be the leading female K-Pop sensation in the world.
