KDA - Firestarter EP (digital k-pop group from League of Legends' universe)

[DSK 627]

Surprised no gamer LM has brought this up yet, so here I am <3

 

KDA (meaning Kills/Deaths/Assistances) is a digital K-pop girl group created by Riot Games, who owns League of Legends and other games of the franchise. The groups is composed of 4 members, all of them being real playable characters of the game. The members have been voiced by different real-life singers, such as Sophie Powers, Mimi Webb, Madison Beer, Soyeon, Bea Miller and Kim Petras.

- Ahri, the princess nine-tailed fox whose main ability is charming enemies

- Evelynn, the seductress / assassin (based on the succubus archetype)

- Kai'Sa, the athletic one and choreographer of the group

- and Akali, the rebel / rapper

 

The movie K-pop Demon Hunters and the group Huntrix was heavily influenced by KDA, which was born many years ago and have been releasing bops after bops with every comeback.

They have just released a new EP with 4 new songs and an incredible animated MV for the lead single, Firestarter. The animation was made by Fortiche, the same studio who produced the awarded Netflix series Arcane, also based on League of Legends' universe. It's superb.

Check it out and let us know your thoughts.

If you want more, check out their previous lead singles, which are also bombastic:

Firestarter is 100% a Pink Venom-era Blackpink outtake, but it’s got some great bits in it. Music video is fire, no pun intended. Can’t wait to hear the rest of the EP.

It's already out! GIRLS is amazing. The others are OK.

I just finished listening to the EP and it is nice but the first one is way better, plus replacing Madison was a mistake I think because her voice as Evelynn blended quite well with Miyeon as Ahri and the rest of their voices. I also don't think Firestarter packs the same punch as More or Popstars either outside of the "beat drop, beat beat drop" part. I also watched the dance they made for Firestarter and I can't say I want to learn it like I did the ones for Popstars, More or The Baddest cause it looks a bit messy tbh. The comparison to pink Venom is also quite apt and the EP doesn't really have a stronger song to overshadow it (like Shutdown did for BP).

I still think POP/STAR is a far more superior song compare to the rest of the songs they put out.

Just listened and I have to agree, Girls is the standout song, but the other ones are cute. All Out was a stronger release IMO, really hope they do another EP sooner than later and bring in some fresh sounds.
