World renowned rapper, singer, dancer, and style icon, LISA has announced that her highly anticipated debut solo album, Alter Ego, will be released on February 28, 2025 via LLOUD Co./RCA Records. LISA first began teasing the new album last week with a series of social media posts hinting at the album title while also touring Asia for her five city sold-out limited run of fan meet dates.
