Los Angeles-based artist/producer KANGA has teamed with Treble to premiere the music video for her new single, "Godless."

"Godless" is the first single from KANGA's forthcoming sophomore album, You and I Will Never Die. The album will be released March 26th on Artoffact Records. Written and performed entirely by KANGA, the album was mixed by Justin McGrath (Nine Inch Nails) and Brett Romnes (Brand New), and mastered by Nick Townsend (Dr. Dre, Garbage).
KANGA gives this statement about the new video: "Venturing out to the unforgiving desert to film this continuous shot in the heart of darkness was an adventure greater than anything I could have dreamed of. Thank you to our brilliant director MJ Bernier (One of Many documentary, Boy Harsher's "Motion" music video) who brought this to life and thank you to our cinematographer Gemma Doll-Grossman and assistant camera Kendall Edwards for executing the shot. Special thanks to Kris Esfandiari for being an integral set of eyes, hands, and brains, Michael Mendoza for the on set photography, and our grip Jonathan Velazquez. This project is very special to me and I couldn’t have done it without you all. And thank you to everyone at home, I hope you like the video."
As displayed on "Godless," KANGA's dark, danceable pop is marked by her commanding, ethereal vocals, and an undercurrent of industrial elements. An article at The Brvtalist humorously described the style as "Elvira meets Robyn." In KANGA's own words: "Nine Inch Nails and Skinny Puppy are probably my biggest influences and in terms of artistry I am a huge Fiona Apple, Cyndi Lauper, and Kylie Minogue fan. I like to exist somewhere between a dance floor and a brooding cityscape."
You and I Will Never Die follows KANGA's much acclaimed, self-titled, debut album, released in 2016. She states that the new album's lyrics illustrate "the emotional journey through a toxic relationship."
KANGA has toured the US, UK and Europe with Gary Numan, The Black Queen (Greg Puciato of Dillinger Escape Plan) and more. In addition to making her own music, KANGA is a producer and remixer whose credits include mixing the new Dalmation single (Kristina Esfandiari of King Woman) and creating remixes for 3TEETH, clipping., Danny Blu and more. She also composes for film, notably assisting horror composer Joseph Bishara on scores for the Insidious and Conjuring films.
