The long-awaited debut full-length from one of dance music’s most accomplished vocalists, pain/pleasure is a culmination of Kah-Lo’s experiences throughout her career, cataloging everything from extreme bitterness to thrilling gratification. Vulnerability and authenticity, two qualities Kah-Lo has never shied away from, are the catalysts for pain/pleasure as Kah-Lo fuels her vengeful energy into a tale of female empowerment and self-love. pain/pleasure is all about retribution for Kah-Lo; it’s a story about facing those who have wronged her and coming out on top in spite of them, regardless of the obstacles and the pain she’s faced in her quest for pleasure.
With the announcement of pain/pleasure comes its third single ‘GD Woman’, an entrancing continuation of the brazen and flagrant self-confidence Kah-Lo has emanated throughout her new villain era. Projecting her self-assuredness and carefree attitude across the charismatic beat, Kah-Lo’s flavorful tongue in cheek lyricism takes center stage on ‘GD Woman’. Filled with funky basslines and cowbell breaks, ‘GD Woman’ flirts with elements of pop, dance, and hip-hop as Kah-Lo weaves her empowering female wisdom in a message about positive egotism and vanity.
Kah-Lo first emerged on the scene in 2016 appearing on Riton’s ‘Rinse & Repeat’, which earned them a Grammy nomination for ‘Best Dance Recording’. In 2017, Kah-Lo dropped her debut solo single ‘Fasta’, following up with ‘Fake I.D.’ in 2018, which became the lead song for the U.S. arrival of TikTok. Her fierce persona as a solo artist continued to shine through with her debut The Arrival EP, which saw its lead single ‘Commandments’ included on the FIFA 2022 Soundtrack. In 2022, Kah-Lo released her hit single ‘Drag Me Out’, which was featured in Oscar de la Renta’s Spring 2022 campaign and has amassed more than 6 million streams on Spotify alone.
A combination of frisky, party-starting lyricism and refreshing blend of house and pop music, Kah-Lo’s spirited originals have been placed in shows like ZIWE, Gossip Girl, Run The World, Harlem, NCIS Los Angeles, Everything’s Trash, and more. Her rhythmic vocals and consistent track record have also earned her features alongside Idris Elba (‘Baille’), Diplo (‘Give Dem’), The Knocks (‘Awa Ni’), and Michaël Brun (‘Melanin’).
