KISS OF LIFE, Mark Tuan – “SUPERPOWER”

Following the the completion of VALORANT Champions Tour Pacific’s two stages on July 21, Riot Games tapped Natty and Julie of KISS OF LIFE and Mark Tuan for the VALORANT Champions 2024 anthem “SUPERPOWER.” Carrying a heavy kick, deep bass and reverbing horns, the electro-pop track exhibits a harmonic blend between rap and singing verses. “SUPERPOWER” touts perseverance and fortitude, expressed through the addicting chorus: “If I never leap, I’ll never fly / Bleed or sacrifice / Fight until the final hour / Pain is my superpower.” Beyond words of encouragement, the song also cleverly blends game terminology, giving its uplifting concept an original twist.

The animated music video pays homage to the competitive FPS game and professional teams, referencing in-game content and tournament moments. VALORANT players may note beloved in-game maps, Valorant agents, and in-game abilities.

Mabel – “Female Intuition”

Ever found a woman’s instinct to be uncanny? That’s female intuition, which Mabel called a superpower in the caption of an Instagram post teasing her new single. She doubled down on this claim in the song’s lyrics: “Got a kinda superpower and it’s runnin’ through my veins.” She senses something is wrong with her lover, who doesn’t seem to be fully present. “It’s got my senses tinglin’ (Ah) / Tells me when something’s missin’.”

Mabel’s rich vocals interrogate her partner, rising above the track’s lowkey instrumental. With synth, simple percussion, and string loops, the song’s composition builds anticipation. For the guilty partner, the strings may induce dread and the feeling of being cornered by the rising melody. For other women, it sparks a sense of empowerment, especially in the sampled narration. The song eventually slows, featuring anecdotes of other women, including Mabel’s mother Neneh. Whether you’re a woman or not, “Female Intuition” is sure to make you feel an adrenaline rush.

NIKI – “Tsunami”

If the sweet, overwhelming whoosh of falling uncontrollably were a song, it would be Indonesian artist NIKI’s warm single “Tsunami.” Purposely served for listeners in their lover girl era, “Tsunami” is a healing ode to moving away from a past relationship and welcoming love once more with open arms and a recovered heart. Sibling to emotive ballads “Backburner” and “Oceans and Engines,” the song is all about romance. The stirring single captures the rush of falling in love as she personifies the act of loving as a natural disaster. NIKI depicts the spiral of emotions as the unprecedented actions of the weather — terrifying and unstoppable. Giving off a folk-core pop aesthetic, the track displays a gentle arrangement of keys and guitar accompanied by a haunting bassline.

NIKI self-directed the music video, where she is seen picking seashells and happily running through small waves and vast sand on the beach. “Tsunami” stands as the eighth track from her upcoming album Buzz, which is set to release on August 9. NIKI will embark on her Buzz World Tour 2024–2025 starting September 5 in North America.
