Filmed in Kah-Lo’s home of Lagos, the video brings to life Kah-Lo’s ‘life of the party’ persona. Kah-Lo prides herself on being the last one standing after a long night out, and the track is her own recklessness anthem, here just in time for summer. ‘Drag Me Out’ skillfully blends groovy house basslines, punchy drum kicks, and infectious lyrics to deliver the pre-party soundtrack of 2022
Discussing the inspiration behind the video, Kah-Lo says “I had the pleasure of working with [director] UAX, who has been my friend and creative collaborator since college. He was able to capture my essence so perfectly, and I couldn’t have imagined a better video for such a fun track! It matches the energy of the song so well, and I hope people enjoy it as much as I do.”
Kah-Lo first emerged on the scene in 2016 with guest vocals on Riton’s “Rinse & Repeat,” which earned her the Grammy nomination for ‘Best Dance Recording’. Kah-Lo dropped her solo debut single “Fasta” in 2017, sitting at the crown of the BBC Radio 1 Dance charts for five weeks. By 2018, Kah-Lo dropped the infectious “Fake I.D.” which became the lead song for the U.S. arrival of TikTok racking up millions of streams.
Her impressive list of collaborations includes Idris Elba on “Ballie” and Selena Gomez on the “Back To You Remix,”. Her features on Diplo’s “Give Dem,” alongside the rhythmic “Melanin” with Michael Brun have also further crystallized Kah-Lo’s consistent track record for bringing the best out of any song she touches.
‘Drag Me Out’ marks Kah-Lo’s first release since her solo debut EP The Arrival, a seamless fusion of wild rhythms, dance floor-ready beats, and skyscraping hooks. The EP shows Kah-Lo venturing into various musical territories, experimenting with new sounds and captivating melodies, showing her personal growth as a breakthrough artist well beyond the dance music space.
Kah-Lo invites you along for the ride to a wild night with her on ‘Drag Me Out’, available on all streaming platforms on Friday, March 11th.
