K/DA is the name of a virtual K-Pop band from League of Legends, where champions from the game perform music pieces. In 2018, the band had a huge viral hit, and a whole album is even announced for 2020. Now the single “MORE” has been released.
What kind of song is this? In “MORE”, besides the well-known band members Akali, Ahri, Evelynn, and Kai’Sa, the newest champion Seraphine also makes an appearance.
Unlike the song “The Baddest”, which was released in August, “MORE” is again more pop-oriented. A particularly interesting aspect is the mixture of English, Chinese, and Korean lyrics. At times, there is even a switch mid-sentence, but always in a way that sounds good and fluid.
In the description under the video, you can view the complete lyrics.
How do the first reactions look like? The new song was released at 3:00 PM our time. In the first 4 hours, it was viewed more than 2.2 million times on YouTube.
Over 450,000 listeners gave it a thumbs up, while only about 6,700 gave it a thumbs down. In the comments, the song is praised for:
- The high quality
- The mix of languages
- The successful video, which was also a criticism of the previous song
Particularly the section by Evelynn, sung by American Madison Beer, is showered with praise in the comments.
Where can you listen to the song? Besides YouTube, you can also listen to the new song on Spotify and Apple Music.
The first K/DA album is coming soon
The story behind the band: The band K/DA was originally created as an advertisement for new skins. In 2018, 4 champions received a customized look, featuring K-Pop outfits.
However, the song Popstars became a massive hit and has been viewed over 380 million times on YouTube. A hype developed around the group, which was revived by Riot Games in 2020.
What’s next for the band? On November 6, the first album – ALL/OUT – will be released. It is expected to include several new songs. However, it is not yet known how many exactly.
For LoL fans, especially the Worlds are likely to play an important role right now. In the final, two teams from China will face off. Why especially the teams from America are not successful is explained by one of the world champions from 2019.
