  • LISA teams up with PlayStation for a futuristic LISA x PlayStation campaign that teases her upcoming single Tarantino with a preview in the campaign visuals.

  • Earlier this week, a teaser for Tarantino was included in a PlayStation controller promo, reinforcing the cross-media rollout.

  • Production credits for SaWaDiKa include Thom Bridges and Ojivolta, with Kuk Harrell handling vocal production; full credits for remaining tracks will be announced closer to release.

  • There is uncertainty about whether backlash will affect the single’s release or its reception.

  • Context is provided on Tarantino’s ties to Israel, his move to Tel Aviv, and past statements about Polanski, including later apologies.

  • An unnamed romantic comedy project, reportedly developed by David Bernad and Lisa, is inspired by Notting Hill and details are to be announced.

  • Fans are urged to share predictions and discuss which tracks might dominate playlists after the release.

  • An event organized with IYK and LLOUD requires RSVP for entry.

  • JENNIE remains notably successful, with multiple songs surpassing 400 million Spotify streams.
