Anyma x Lisa drops 'BAD ANGEL'

Lisa and Anyma didn’t just drop a one-off single on April 8. They timed “Bad Angel” to land two days before Anyma’s first Coachella main stage headline slot on Friday, April 10, which turns the song into both a release and a setup for a giant live moment in Indio. (upi.com) (edm.com) (coachella.com) The pairing looks unusual until you look at what each artist has been doing. Lisa has spent the past year pushing further into solo pop outside BLACKPINK, while Anyma has built a melodic techno project that treats songs like chapters in a science-fiction film. (upi.com) (music.apple.com) Anyma is the solo project of Matteo Milleri, who is also one half of Tale Of Us. Apple Music describes the project as melodic techno and progressive house tied to digital art, and Interscope’s write-up for his album “Genesys” says the music revolves around technology, nature, humanity, and coexistence. (music.apple.com) (interscope.com) That background explains why the “Bad Angel” video looks less like a standard pop clip and more like a dystopian short film. UPI says Lisa wakes up on a stone slab with tubes attached to her body, breaks free, grows mechanized wings, and then meets Anyma outside while he is connected to the same network of nodes. (upi.com) EDM.com says the video places Lisa inside Anyma’s “cybernetic” visual universe, which is the same futuristic style he has used across his live shows and recent releases. That gives Lisa a very different frame than a typical dance-pop feature: she is not visiting his world for one verse, she is cast as a character inside it. (edm.com) The song itself is short and built for replay. Apple Music lists “Bad Angel” at 2 minutes and 33 seconds, and the single is credited as a one-track release from Anyma and Lisa dated April 8, 2026. (music.apple.com 1) (music.apple.com 2) It is also an official major-label release, not a festival teaser tossed online for hype. Apple Music credits the single to 2026 Anyma under exclusive license to Interscope Records, and EDM.com separately reported the track as out via Interscope. (music.apple.com) (edm.com) The timing matters even more because Anyma is using Coachella 2026 to debut a new live show called “ÆDEN.” EDM.com reports that the set is scheduled for Friday, April 10 at midnight on the festival’s main stage, and Coachella’s official site lists the festival weekends as April 10 to 12 and April 17 to 19. (edm.com) (coachella.com) So “Bad Angel” lands at the exact point where Lisa’s solo reach and Anyma’s festival-scale visual brand overlap. One artist brings one of the biggest fan bases in global pop, and the other brings a stage language built for giant screens, which is why this release immediately felt bigger than a normal feature credit. (upi.com) (edm.com) There is one more reason people are watching this closely over the next 48 hours. UPI reported that Lisa was rumored to join Anyma at Coachella, and if that happens, “Bad Angel” stops being just a streaming release from April 8 and becomes the centerpiece of one of the festival’s most talked-about guest moments on April 10.
