In fact, YG and BLACKPINK has prepared multiple major global projects this year. Although the release timings have been delayed due to the global COVID19 situation, but the scale still remains dominant.

Prior to making comeback, BLACKPINK has participated on Pop star Lady Gaga’s new track ‘Sour Candy’ as featuring artists. The song is listed on her 6th official album, to be released on the 29th. The album also features Ariana Grande and Elton John.

Detailed information on the new songs and the group’s official album are yet to be unveiled, but the news was enough to satisfy and amplify the global fans’ anticipation towards BLACKPINK’s comeback.

YG informed, “We will run many global projects along with Universal Music, the biggest music group in the world, for BLACKPINK’s leap into the global industry in 2020”.
