New Anyma x LISA single
Anyma and BLACKPINK’s Lisa dropped a new collaboration called “Bad Angel,” and it immediately sparked heavy online buzz — the announcement and release posts pulled thousands of likes and the song debuted at No. 4 on the US Dance Music Video chart. (x.com) (femmusic.com)
The song arrived on April 8, and the timing was not random: it landed 2 days before Anyma’s April 10 Coachella main stage set, where Billboard says he is debuting a new live production called ÆDEN. (billboard.com) That makes this less like a one-off feature and more like a trailer for a bigger stage world. Billboard reported that Anyma first teased ÆDEN in February and is taking it on tour across Asia, Europe, and North America from May through December. (billboard.com) Anyma has spent the last 2 years turning electronic music shows into giant sci-fi films with a disc jockey in the middle. Billboard described his previous production, The End of Genesys, as the Las Vegas Sphere show that made him the first electronic artist to headline the venue. (billboard.com 1) (billboard.com 2) LISA comes in from a very different lane, which is why the pairing got attention so fast. She is the BLACKPINK member who has been building a solo run alongside the group, and Billboard framed “Bad Angel” as a collaboration between a global pop star and a producer already used to working with arena-scale visuals. (billboard.com 1) (billboard.com 2) The rollout started with a teaser on April 7 that looked more like a movie scene than a standard single announcement. Billboard said LISA appears on a marble slab surrounded by wires in Roman-style ruins, while Anyma appears in a matching digital wasteland tied to the same ÆDEN universe. (billboard.com) The full video kept that same look and pushed it further into machine-fantasy imagery. United Press International reported that LISA breaks free from tubes, grows mechanized wings, and then meets Anyma outside after he wakes up connected to similar nodes. (upi.com) The early audience response was immediate on YouTube. The official music video had about 2.55 million views 17 hours after premiering and was sitting at No. 23 on YouTube’s music trending chart when it was indexed. (youtube.com) The label pitch was straightforward: put Anyma’s cinematic techno under LISA’s voice and build something aimed at both clubs and festival fields. FEMMUSIC described the track as written and produced by Anyma and built from “dance-infused” production and LISA’s genre-crossing vocals. (femmusic.com) That is why this release is drawing two crowds at once before Coachella even starts. One side is Anyma’s visual-electronic audience waiting for ÆDEN on April 10 and April 17, and the other is LISA’s global fan base following every solo move after the April 8 drop.
