Luka Sol’s Killin’ It Floods the Soul with Neon Strobes and Synth-Heavy Self-Belief –

Luka Sol’s second single, Killin’ It, from his sophomore LP, Mirrors, paints him as an unreckonable alt-pop force who will never be caught bringing a knife to a gunfight. As a master of bridging the gaps between new wave synth pop, RnB, and dream pop with pure, iridescent emotion, he has gone beyond attempting to stay ahead of the curve; his synth-heavy sonic signature sits in a whole other stratosphere from the nostalgia-clingers.

Like a synthesis of all the most affecting aspects of The Midnight, The Human League, Kraftwerk, and The Weeknd, Killin’ It is an earworm that endears its way into your soul and floods your rhythmic circuitry with neon-lit strobes of interstellar kinetic energy. Co-produced with Courtney Ballard and Jared Poythress, the single carries the raw force of drowning out external noise and internal doubt, turning defiance into an atmospheric anthem for late-night reckoning.

Behind Luka Sol is Shawn Day, an artist, DJ, and producer shaped between Los Angeles and Sheridan, Wyoming. After Stargaze charted on Spotify and reached 120,000 streams within its first two weeks, Killin’ It affirms his ability to build cinematic alt-pop around isolation, ambition, and hard-won self-belief.

Killin’ It is now available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify.
