Platinum-selling stars Aluna and MK exposed a new fantastic single “Kiss It Better”
The track sees Aluna continue her flurry of recent collaborative releases that includes ‘Mine O’ Mine’ with Jayda G, ‘Nowhere To Hide’ with Prettyboy D-O and Kooldrink, and ‘Follow You’ with Kornel Kovacs. The jetsetting official video for ‘Nowhere To Hide’ also dropped earlier this month.
Aluna says: “During my pandemic Twitch era where I was DJing from my living room every week, I started to get to know who the pioneers of dance music were and who was making the freshest stuff now,” “MK is both of those things so naturally I wanted to work with him. Turns out we were both looking for each other so when we finally got into the studio it felt like something that was a long time coming. ‘Kiss It Better’ is a contrast of MK’s raw techno roots and my yearning story of lovers helping each other through those hard times we’ve all been through.”
Aluna is one half of AlunaGeorge and builds upon the UK electronic duo’s sound in a solo context to venture further into eclectic dance-pop territory. She debuted with 2020’s stylistically elastic Renaissance, with follow-up standalone singles ‘Trouble’ and ‘Forget About Me’ appearing in 2021 and 2022 respectively.
With over 30 years in the game, MK is best known for his revered remixes of ‘Push The Feeling On’ by Nightcrawlers and ‘Look Right Through’ by Storm Queen, as well as his platinum-selling global hit ‘17’, which has sold more than one million copies in the UK alone. ‘17’ was preceded by ‘Piece of Me’ in 2016, another platinum-selling record to add to MK’s pile of growing accolades.
Bringing together two masters of the genre, ‘Kiss It Better’ is an infectious house jam with serious crossover appeal.
