LISA and Rosalia’s ‘New Woman’ Voted This Week’s Favorite New Music
LISA and Rosalía‘s “New Woman” has topped this week’s new music ballot that options artists in numerous genres of music.
Music followers voted in a ballot printed Friday (Aug. 16) on Billboard, selecting the BLACKPINK celebrity and Spanish artist’s team-up as their favourite new music launch of the previous week.
“New Woman” introduced in 54% of the vote on the ballot, securing an edge forward of latest releases from Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars (“Die With a Smile”), Post Malone (F-1 Trillion), Foster the People (Paradise State of Mind), Hozier (Unaired), and others.
LISA and Rosalía’s Y2K-inspired single arrived Thursday (Aug. 15) with an equally colourful music video. “Hit it when I serve/ B—-, you better swerve/ Revving up my, uh-uh-uh-uh-aura/ Focus on my mind/ Taking my time/ I’m a new woman,” LISA declares on the catchy refrain.
For her verse, Rosalía provides a bilingual ingredient musing, “Nací pura, sí/ Ni una era será un flop en mi porvenir/ P—, soy la Rosalía, solo sé servir,” which interprets to “I was born pure/ There won’t be a flop era in my future/ W—-, I’m Rosalía, I only know how to serve.”
The new tune arrives somewhat over a month after the Ok-pop icon stepped into a brand new part of her solo profession exterior of BLACKPINK with “Rockstar,” which debuted at No. 70 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 4 on the Billboard Global 200.
Trailing behind LISA and Rosalía on this week’s ballot is Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die With a Smile,” with almost 36% of the vote. The superstars barely gave followers a heads up earlier than unveiling the collab, the existence of which they solely confirmed lower than 12 hours forward of its arrival.
It’s been some time since both artist has launched correct solo music. Gaga’s final album, Chromatica, dropped in 2020, whereas Mars’ 24K Magic is approaching its eight-year anniversary. The former topped the Billboard 200 albums chart, and the second peaked at No. 2.
