It’s… not as good as Pop/Stars

Of all the self-indulgent fancies which games companies blow marketing budgets on, my favourite isLeague Of Legendsputting out K-pop from a virtual girl group of real singers pretending to be League wizards. K/DA is their name, and last night they released a new single to herald a new EP. Yes, a whole EP of songs from people kinda pretending to be video game characters. The thing is: K/DA’s first song, Pop/Stars was pretty great. See what you make of the latest, The Baddest.

Salright? It doesn’t go as hard as Pop/Stars, maybe because that was the 2018 League World Championship anthem, but it’s quite nice. Shame it’s only a lyric video, not a proper music video. If you want to give it a proper listen, The Baddest is also onSpotifyandApple Music.

I know I’ve seemed dismissive of Pop/Stars at times, but my problem is that it’s too good as pop to be an esports tournament anthem. Any such song needs to be daft and a bit embarrassing,e.g. Everton’s 1985 FA Cup song, not catchy. The fact that it placed in various pop charts proves it was too good.
