KIRA Brings New Digital Single!

/

Japanese Reggae-R&B vocalist and Music Corner alum KIRA dropped her newest digital single “Don’t text me” on August 4. “Don’t text me” comes about two months after KIRA’s latest digital single “Lovin’ you” and is her third release overall this year. “Don’t text me” is a song which would hypothetically be presented to an ex-boyfriend who tries to contact his old girlfriend when she begins dating someone new. This, unsurprisingly, would be a great track to listen to if you’ve ever had an ex who constantly texted you after your break-up. The music video is directed by ISSEI, who has worked with KIRA before on her “Bye Bye Boy” and “Lovin’ you” music videos. The video centers on the city of Osaka and its fashion and has a surrealistic feel to it. “Don’t text me” is currently available on all digital streaming platforms. Check out the music video below!
