The Brit Awards 2025 delivered another year of unforgettable moments, both good and bad. From stunning performances to controversial outfits, the night was packed with talking points. But the music world isn't just about awards; it's also about new releases, and this week, Blackpink's Lisa dropped her debut solo album, "Alter Ego." Let's dive into the highlights and lowlights of both events.
Brit Awards 2025: The Good, the Bad, and the Outrageous
The Brit Awards 2025 red carpet was, as always, a spectacle. Glamour and, let's face it, some truly "out there" fashion choices were on full display. 
Jade's performance was a definite highlight, earning rave reviews for its creativity and energy. Charli XCX also brought the house down with a joyous set that had the crowd on their feet.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing. Jade's dress sparked controversy, drawing criticism for being deemed "problematic." And unfortunately, Stormzy suffered an eye injury, adding an unexpected and unfortunate twist to the evening.
Ultimately, the Brit Awards are about celebrating British music, and this year was no exception. Female artists like Charli XCX and Dua Lipa were expected to have a big night, showcasing the incredible talent coming out of the UK.
Lisa's "Alter Ego": A Star-Studded Debut
Lisa from Blackpink is no stranger to the spotlight. But with her debut solo album, "Alter Ego," she's stepping out on her own. The album's release is perfectly timed, coinciding with her role in HBO's hit show, "The White Lotus." 
The show has given her even more visibility, not that she really needed it!
"Alter Ego" is a high-energy pop-rap record packed with collaborations. Raye and Doja Cat feature on the opener, "Born Again," channeling an 80s disco vibe. Megan Thee Stallion, Future, Rosalía, and Tyla also make appearances, showcasing Lisa's versatility and ambition.
However, some critics argue that the album's diverse styles ultimately highlight a lack of a distinct musical identity. As one review put it, the album is a "focus group-tested attempt at megastar success." 
While the collaborations are impressive, they might overshadow Lisa's own artistic voice.
Despite the mixed reviews, "Alter Ego" is sure to make waves. Lisa's star power, combined with the album's catchy tunes and high-profile collaborations, guarantees its success. Whether it's a true reflection of Lisa's musical identity remains to be seen.
"It must feel pretty damn good to be Lisa right now."
From the glitz and glamour of the Brit Awards to the release of a highly anticipated solo album, the entertainment world continues to deliver surprises and talking points. Stay tuned for more updates and reviews!
