LISA releases cinematic music video for new song Tarantino

LISA has released the music video for her new song 'Tarantino,' which features self-written lyrics that include homages to 'Kill Bill' and portray her as a proactive "boss" or "don."

Artist LISA has released the music video for her new song 'Tarantino,' expressing her musical identity through cinematic grammar. As indicated by the title, the new track is characterized by intense lyrics and an atmosphere that evokes the style of film director Quentin Tarantino.

Cinematic mise-en-scène in lyrics and homages to 'Kill Bill'

The lyrics, written by LISA herself, list specific images that stimulate cinematic imagination. The line "Kill Bill demeanor" directly targets Tarantino's representative work 'Kill Bill,' implying the character personality LISA presents through this song. Additionally, she expresses a strong presence by portraying herself as a proactive figure through the phrase "Death proof baby I do all my own stunts."

Visual elements that evoke the song's setting are also embedded in the lyrics. Situations that feel like scenes from a movie—such as heading to a motel, a commotion in front of a convenience store, and eating at a drive-thru—unfold through LISA's voice. Expressions such as "Black suit fast food" and "Silver tooth shining like a katana" support the song's raw yet glamorous atmosphere.

Musical attempts toward building an independent character

This new song emphasizes LISA's aspect as a "Boss" and a "Don" who leads the entire narrative, moving beyond being a simple performer. The lyrics "I'm a boss, I'm a don" show that the musical worldview she seeks to build is based on an authoritative and proactive character.

The overall flow of the lyrics possesses a structure akin to watching a film. The repetitive message "It's a movie baby, come and press play" suggests that LISA's music is a "cinematic experience" that is completed when combined with visual imagery. This is significant in that LISA's future musical direction aims for a complete narrative rather than just simple songs.
