KORA is a singer and songwriter based in Los Angeles that specializes in Pop and EDM. Sporting an effervescent and lyrical sound that positions her music next to groundbreaking electronic artists like BAYNK and Anne-Marie, she combines a passion for capturing the human experience with an invigorating vocal presence. With over 80k combined streams and 1.6 million followers across all social media platforms, KORA has been deepening her purpose within the creative world for years.

‘Let Go’ explores the ubiquitous feelings of doubt that can plague the mind of a developing artist. Deftly navigating the space between chill pop hooks and an underlying message of solidarity and support for young artists, KORA loves using her work to pick apart the human mind and all its creations. "Let Go" is a worthy addition to her growing catalog of self-affirming sonic confections.

I’m so incredibly proud of this piece because it was one of the first times my confidence didn’t waver in regards to my music...One of the biggest realizations that pushed me to begin creating on my own was that artists are simply human, and that everyone starts from somewhere. The very purpose of music is emotional fulfillment, capturing an aspect of the human experience, and painting it through song...Because I finally learned to ‘Let Go,’ my drive and passion has deepened, freeing myself from any baseless feelings of imposter syndrome or self doubt. I hope that with my music I can help other emerging artists to do the same.
