Star2 joins rappers Luh Kel and LerMuDex on “Here We Go”, the first single from Star2’s upcoming EP, Lonely Summer Nightz. The track is a slow-burning, emotionally rich exploration of love, deception, and longing.
“Here We Go” is a sultry yet soulful anthem that lingers in the fragile space where desire meets disappointment. Thai verses add a poignant, cross-cultural depth to the track, reinforcing how universal the feelings of heartbreak and hope can be. The accompanying music video is filled with images of luxury homes, swimming pools and gorgeous women. They have it all, but still suffer from heavy hearts.
The single is another bold step for Star2, a refugee pop-meets-hip hop artist who turned trauma into triumph after escaping a violent raid on his village as a child. With a growing catalog of powerful, genre-blending music and collaborations with artists like Soulja Boy, $tupid Young, Mozzy, MBNel, Luh Kel and LerMuDex, Star2 continues to tell his story with raw honesty and undeniable style.
