K/DA Returns With New League of Legends Single FIRESTARTER

Posted on by

K/DA is back. Riot Games’ virtual League of Legends pop group released its first new single in about six years, “FIRESTARTER,” with the official music video premiering on October 18 at 7 PM PDT. A new EP, also called FIRESTARTER, is set to follow on October 21.

The group still centers on League champions Ahri, Akali, Evelynn, and Kai’Sa. MIYEON and SOYEON of i-dle return as Ahri and Akali, continuing their roles from K/DA’s 2018 debut. This time, Evelynn is voiced by Canadian singer-songwriter Sophie Powers, while British singer-songwriter Mimi Webb takes on Kai’Sa.

The “FIRESTARTER” video was animated by Fortiche, the French studio best known to League fans for Arcane. Fortiche also worked on K/DA’s original “POP/STARS” video, which launched alongside the group’s debut performance at the 2018 League of Legends World Championship finals in Incheon.

K/DA last released new music in 2020 with “THE BADDEST,” “MORE,” and the ALL OUT EP. The comeback also continues Riot’s recent run of music projects tied to League, including new tracks from HEARTSTEEL and True Damage during the current Worlds cycle.
