Both singles highlight 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.
When asked about “Shibuya”, Kyra explains: “‘Shibuya’ captures the ebb and flow of a relationship, the tempo changes reflect the highs and lows, the complexity, and the beauty you go through during your relationship with someone. I’m a very visual creator, and the song draws from when I was in school, a classic forbidden teenage love story. We were caught holding hands outside Shibuya 109, where a lot of kids in Tokyo hang out. That moment of being sneaky and just truly enjoying the moment stayed with me, sparking the idea that shaped the entire track.”
