BLACKPINK member Lisa is set to feature on ‘Down to Earth’, the upcoming album from Taeyang of Big Bang.

‘Down to Earth’ is the long-awaited follow-up to Taeyang’s 2017 album ‘White Night’. The new record is also expected to feature the previously released single ‘Vibe’, which featured Jimin of K-pop boyband BTS.
In a February interview with NME, Taeyang spoke about how he was “looking forward to collaborating with other artists in my next project”, while teasing that “there will be an album in the future”.
Meanwhile, Taeyang signed an exclusive contract with The Black Label in December, following his departure from long-time agency YG Entertainment, which is the parent company of The Black Label.
