Filipino Girl Group KAIA Releases Debut Single “BLAH BLAH”
KAIA, an upcoming 5-member girl group from ShowBT PH, sets their sights on going global with
their official debut single “BLAH BLAH” - released under Sony Music.
The upbeat bop is helmed by Lee Oh Won,
the producer behind some of the most remarkable tunes by international artists
such as Stray Kids, SHINee’s Taemin, TVXQ, and SB19. Exploring a future-forward
sound that ties together different elements and styles, “BLAH BLAH” marks the
arrival of ShowBT-managed KAIA as a P-Pop newcomer with hitmaking potential.
The five-piece group wrote “BLAH BLAH”
as a creative unit, deriving from their collective experiences in dealing with
romantic love and infatuation, and how it’s not always “as beautiful as what we
think.”
“Writing BLAH BLAH is somehow easier
considering our chemistry has improved a lot since then,” KAIA’s very own
Sophia shares in a statement. “We finally learned how to trust each other on a
deeper level, hence the making of a song about love. Aside from this, everyone
puts their 100% effort into this official debut. Even when one of us gets stuck
in writing, the other four members make sure to help out when needed. That
being said, our closeness and dedication made us more comfortable and confident
in writing BLAH BLAH.”
The song is accompanied by a music video
that provides a stark contrast between the dream world and the reality. With
director Angelo Balanon at the helm of the visual narrative, the clip translates
the very essence of the song with cosmopolitan, movie-like sheen that is at par
with K-Pop and J-Pop music videos.
KAIA’s debut single serves as the first
chapter of their journey towards self-discovery. As showcased in the concept trailer that preludes the music
video, the multi-talented quintet deals with finding their own voice in an
industry that is completely challenging and unfamiliar to them.
For fans of P-Pop who are looking for
exciting new sounds, KAIA’s “BLAH BLAH” is definitely your jam: a global-ready
tune that blends pop music conventions with sonically interesting ideas and
lyrical autonomy.
KAIA’s official debut single “BLAH BLAH” is out now on all digital music
platforms worldwide via Sony Music. The song release is part of Sony Music
Entertainment’s "Angat, P-Pop!" initiative
for the month of April - which aims to put a spotlight on this new generation
of Pinoy Pop hits by up-and-coming groups from the label's roster and beyond.
KAIA is
a word that sounds feminine, but means powerful. Accepting who you are, and
using it as a strength to overcome your goals despite what may be thrown at
you. This is what the group represents now that they have finally debuted.
