Machida’s latest track follows “Handsy” and “DNA,” building to her October EP.
Emerging pop artist Kyra Machida releases her new single and visualizer “Kinda Girl” via Sound Factory Records/RECORDS/RCA Records. This latest track, in addition to her previous singles “Handsy” and “DNA” are off her forthcoming debut EP, Blonde, out October 3rd.
When asked about “Kinda Girl,” Kyra says: “Kinda Girl is about that rush of teenage love that keeps you blushing—the kind you don’t want to admit, like a guilty pleasure. I’m not really someone who’s easily entertained, especially by men, so when someone actually gets my attention, it makes me start to think. You start learning new things about yourself when you’re falling in love.”
These latest singles and her EP announcement follow the release of her three-track bundle which included tracks “Speed” , “Shibuya” and“Connect”. Each song highlights her aesthetic of music that intertwines future pop vibes with various productions and beats, which are a perfect introduction to Kyra’s world and sound. This past year, Kyra attended the 4th Annual Gold House Gala, bringing together Asian Pacific American stars, industry leaders and more to celebrate their excellence. She also attended Mark Daftari’s class at Millennium Dance Complex in LA, where he taught choreography to “DNA.”
Born and raised in Japan, Kyra signed with a Japanese label at 14 years old and after years of hard work and persistence, her journey brought her to Los Angeles to continue to pursue her goals and passion with her music. With musical influences such asGwen Stefani, Pussy Cat Dolls, Lady Gaga and Fergie, Kyradescribes her sound as “playful yet sexy and confident vocal tone layered over club/electronic influenced production.” She’s done various campaigns early on in her career already for fashion and car companies including Converse, Skims, Nike Air Max, Mercedes Benz and more. Now with the release of music that represents her and her artistry, Kyra is ready to be at the top of everyone’s future pop playlists.
