The new single and music video “Where Would You Go?” from Star2 x Sprite x Luh Kel. The song taps into the frustration of questioning someone’s loyalty to you. The verses seamlessly shift between English and Thai in a vibrant fusion of R&B-infused melodic hip hop that is both poignant and powerful.
“Where Would You Go?” was filmed at Wat Saket (The Golden Mount), which is a significant ancient Buddhist temple in Bangkok where monks live and pray. Many scenes took place in the cave on the property that displays a large replica of the towering 33 ft. “Bamiyan Buddha” from central Afghanistan that was destroyed by the Taliban in 2001, and recreated to bring back the lost cultural heritage.
“Where Would You Go?” is from Star2’s forthcoming EP, No Place Like Home, which is set to drop on May 9th.

Star2: “I wanted to bring Luh Kel, a huge R&B talent to Thailand and introduce him to Sprite, a longtime fan. The song carries out an R&B vibe that works perfectly with Sprite’s vocals. Kel and Sprite became great friends and we all loved exploring Thai culture and food together.”
