Riot Games’ virtual girl group K\/DA has resumed activities, releasing a new song after approximately six years.<\/p>\n

On October 19, Riot Games released K\/DA’s new track ‘FIRESTARTER’ along with its official music video. This marks their first new music in about six years since their 2020 EP ‘ALL OUT’, with a new EP of the same name scheduled to drop on the 21st.<\/p>\n

Miyeon and Soyeon of (G)I-DLE, who participated in previous K\/DA projects, rejoined for the new track. The two have provided vocals for Ahri and Akali, respectively, and are joined this time by new featured artists: Canadian singer Sophie Powers and British singer Mimi Webb.<\/p>\n

The music video was produced in collaboration with French animation studio Fortiche. Fortiche is the studio behind the Netflix animated series ‘Arcane’ and previously created the music video for K\/DA’s 2018 debut single, ‘POP\/STARS’. Choreographer Sean Bankhead, who has worked with high-profile artists such as Beyonc\u00e9 and BLACKPINK, directed the video’s choreography.<\/p>\n

K\/DA is a virtual girl group consisting of League of Legends champions Ahri, Akali, Evelynn, and Kai’Sa. They debuted at the 2018 League of Legends World Championship Finals in Incheon by performing ‘POP\/STARS’, and later released ‘THE BADDEST’ and ‘MORE’ in 2020. In November of that year, they released their 5-track EP ‘ALL OUT’, which included those two singles alongside ‘VILLAIN’, ‘DRUM GO DUM’, and ‘I’LL SHOW YOU’.<\/p>\n

Following an extended hiatus without new music, K\/DA returns after roughly six years with ‘FIRESTARTER’. The new EP ‘FIRESTARTER’, featuring the title track, will be released on the 21st, with pre-saves currently open on their official channels.<\/p>\n
