about

KC Star started and finished this EP while in quarantine and it quickly became a battle cry to keep fighting until you make it (and dance while you do it). This project serves as a follow up to his first trilogy of EPs, Colors, Changes, and Crushes, which explored the exhilarating ups and downs of life, love, and transformation. It is rooted in pop with influences of dance, hip-hop, and electronic/synth music. Thematically, the project explores the electricity of life in all its forms of love, longing, and learning.

Dancing in the Rain is one of the most popular tracks on the EP and one of KC Star’s personal favorites. “With this track, I just wanted to make a fun, danceable song for the EP. The phrase ‘dancing in the rain’ popped into my head and I ran with it. I made the dope electro backing with the plucks that reminded me of raindrops, added the little intro/break with the pitched and tuned stutter vocals, and even added a fun brat-rap for the second verse.”

Other tracks include Selfish, a dark, sexy self-love anthem; What We Do, an unapologetic track about living life to the fullest; San Francisco, an electronic love song about a love that feels like home; Daylight, an R&B-infused rap track about lifting yourself out of the darkness; and the soaring title track, Get There.

As KC Star starts to solidify his voice and sound as an artist, Get There puts this rising star’s versatility and growing confidence on full display.

“I’m ready to electrify the whole world into an unstoppable, unapologetic dance party.”
