Behind the Track: “Ignorance is Bliss”
I’m not nicer to myself
When I’m told I need it,
I tend to sink in
And feed a voice that starts to bleed all internally
Starting this new chapter with a bold production, “Ignorance is Bliss” was created at a difficult time for Kira. This emotional record, dubbed as a “raw cry for help,” strikes you to the core as Kira’s versatile vocal range and writing skills take the spotlight.
According to the singer-songwriter, she drew inspiration from different alternative artists while crafting the song:
Whenever I have a moment to connect with my emotions, great art happens — like this song. ‘Ignorance Is Bliss’ is full of bold instrumental moments, inspired by artists like Radiohead, Billie Eilish, and other alternative musicians.
With the aid of producer EMÆL and musician Dan Adams, the track now stands as her most powerful release yet. In addition to the song’s achievements, she recently won first place with it in the Next Up: LIVE Music competition by iHeartRadio and TikTok LIVE.
“Ignorance is Bliss” offers a striking look into the direction Kira wants to take with her music, and we can’t wait to hear more.
