DSK 568 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 ...and they're digital. Some of you guys might have heard of or even follow Digital Influencers who are actually 100% digital. "People" like Shudu Gram, the digital supermodel (https://www.instagram.com/shudu.gram) and others are surfacing as technology advances and enables us to create hyperrealistic characters, while social media allows us to give them a personality. Gaming company Riot Games has been having a lot of success with this trend lately as they launched their own K-Pop group called K/DA, based on 4 characters from the game League of Legends. The 'girls' so far have already released 2 songs and 1 music video - which are FIRE, by the way. (POP/STARS MV:Ā Ā and THE BADDEST lyric video:Ā ) Ā To voice the characters we have singers from Korean group G-Idle and also Madison Beer, Wolftyla, Bea Miller and even Kim Petras is joining the group in the EP which will be officialy released in November this year. The hype is really high at the moment, as tomorrow is the premiere for their new MV MORE ( ) In addition, a couple months ago a (digital) girl called Seraphine popped up on Youtube and Instagram covering KDA songs and posting stories and photos of her journey from an aspiring singer to an official member of the group. She even posts pictures with her cat (a real cat) and stuff like that.Ā https://www.instagram.com/seradotwav/ The group (KDA) also has been posting pictures of their members in different cities around the world, like Shangai, Rio de Janeiro, SĆ£o Paulo, and many more. (https://www.instagram.com/p/CFhStioD-W4/). Also, to support the upcoming EP, they've been launching challenges for the fans to post their singing and dance covers, fashion and art in general, creating a whole movement behind the group. Ā Thing is: aestetics are awesome, the songs are great (and so are the MVs), and the group, which is completely digital and made-up by a gaming company, is starting to achieve great success around the world, even releasing songs on Spotify and other streaming services. We might start seeing 'live' performances from them (and other artists of this kind who will still be created) soon enough in events like the VMAs and such. Do you guys like it? Hate it? Think it won't grow? Do you think this is the future? Share your thougths! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotLikeMexico 3,915 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 No. Just no.Ā Not a pop group but the Gorilaz are probably the only āvirtualā group I love that happens to do it well. Granted it different live but they know how to transition between virtual and reality.Ā Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsychoMaxcara 814 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I don't think digital artists will ever be a thing. People crave a """genuine""" connection with another person, the idol concept is abusing this every single year and it consistently pays off. People will always prefer a real human being as opposed to a cartoon. You can never meet or interviewĀ a cartoon (someone else's creation), but there's always the possibility you might share the same room with your idol. People are real, unpredictable and have a mind of their own.Ā Now when it comes to androids.... well that I don't know. I can see those possibly rivaling humans in the future.
