“The song started out being about a personal relationship, but it evolved into a song about how it’s never about the city you are in. It’s all about the people you are with that makes a place special. I had not completely finished the song and was not very confident about it, but after performing it for the first time at an open mic, one of the audience members told me, ‘You need to record that one song about LA.”

The track features a distinctive interplay of instruments, including a quirky whistle that dances playfully amidst the intimate strums of an acoustic guitar. An emotional synth evokes a sense of wistful longing that beautifully complements Kid Koi’s smooth vocals.
The heartbeat of the song is underlined by a dynamic yet understated beat, anchoring the melodic fusion with an irresistible groove.“LA” was written by Sota Koike and produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered by Jean-Luc McMurtry at VLV Media & Records.
Kid Koi’s “LA” stands as a testament to the artist’s ability to craft narratives that resonate deeply while pushing the boundaries of genre, offering listeners a soul-stirring musical journey through the heart and soul of Los Angeles and beyond.
