Anyma and LISA released their moody collaborative single “Bad Angel” on April 8, with the song’s striking video — starring the BLACKPINK singer as an actual angel and Anyma an all-powerful being — racking up more than nine million views on YouTube alone in the nine days since its release.
The song matches LISA’s characteristic swaggy vocal delivery with Anyma’s signature melodic techno, a fusion the pair call a “common ground” between their two worlds.
In an interview with Billboard, Anyma says the song happened “after me and LISA met a few times and started sharing ideas and seeing where we are at with our creative vision and for the future of our projects, we found some common ground for the music and visuals and performance.”
“I’ve been a huge fan of his art and music, so when I first heard that, we talked about the collab and stuff and I was like, ‘Yeah, let’s do it together,’” LISA adds. “The idea and everything just fit so well.”
“It was a very interesting process to collaborate with LISA on every front,” Anyma continues. “She’s at the top of her game, and expanding her universe and making it collide with mine was a challenge, but I think we nailed it.”
“Bad Angel” will likely be heard during Anyma’s mainstage set Friday (April 17) at Coachella. The producer is set to debut his new production, ÆDEN, at the festival after his weekend one performance had to be canceled due to strong winds that affected the stage build.
