Dynamic Duo GAWD Shakes Up the Music Scene with New Single “Two Hot”
Get ready for a musical journey like no other as GAWD (@gawdherself), the psychedelic dance R&B duo consisting of Alana and Alayna, take center stage with their scorching new single “Two Hot,” out today. With their distinct blend of R&B and a spellbinding sound that transcends genres, GAWD is keeping up their momentum and paving their own lane in the music scene.
“Two Hot” is a spirited and lively anthem, accompanied by an engaging visualizer that captures the essence of joy, as the duo revels in carefree dancing and exuberance. This single offers a taste of what audiences can expect from their upcoming EP ‘Cathedral City,’ set for release on September 8th, 2023. The project will be accompanied by mesmerizing visualizers for each track, offering an immersive experience that complements the sonic journey.
The duo’s name GAWD, standing for “Good Ass Women Deserve,” is a testament to their dedication to freedom and expression. As Alana and Alayna explain, “Our music is a love letter to the creator and creation itself,” and their acronym affirms their worthiness of the good that arises from their artistic dedication.
Hailing from diverse origins, Alana originally from Pomona and Alayna from Memphis, GAWD is now based in the vibrant city of Los Angeles. The duo’s artistic journey began under the starry skies of “Cathedral City,” a desert retreat that sparked their creative union. This tranquil backdrop led to a series of harmonious melodies that seemed to reverberate within the high ceilings of a cathedral, inspiring their unique sound.
“We wrote these songs to soothe and encourage ourselves and we hope it does the same for all who lend an ear,” GAWD says.
With influences ranging from Jones Girls to Pharrell, GAWD weaves a sonic tapestry that draws from a wide pool of musical inspiration. Their passion for music is deeply rooted, as they describe it as a vessel to connect hearts and minds, inviting listeners to both feel and reflect.
“We hope they feel unstoppable,” GAWD says. “We hope they feel heard and seen and know that their experiences and opinions matter. We hope they feel amplified and see themselves in us in the way we see ourselves in them.”

Kyla Imani Enlists KARRAHBOOO For New Single “In The Hills”
KARRAHBOOO makes her return to hip-hop with “In The Hills,” a fresh collaboration with rising star Kyla Imani. This marks KARRAHBOOO’s first release since her split from Lil Yachty’s group, Concrete Boys, in July. The fallout sparked a public exchange of insults between the two, including a fiery rant from Lil Yachty on his birthday. KARRAHBOOO, however, had the last word when she teased new music in an Instagram Live session in September.
“In The Hills” blends Kyla Imani’s fun and soulful energy with KARRAHBOOO’s sharp lyricism and undeniable charisma. Set against the backdrop of California’s iconic Hollywood Hills, the pair throw a carefree party, cruising in a pink, vintage Mustang while singing about their dreams and ambitions. The chemistry between the two artists was key for Kyla, who spoke on their creative synergy.
“As a New York City girl living in L.A., I wanted to share stories that captured the vibes up in the hills. Collaborating with KARRAHBOOO was important because, though we’re different, we both have something to prove and push boundaries,” said Kyla. “‘In The Hills’ is about embracing life’s adventures and reaching new heights, something everyone can relate to.”
Kyla Imani first gained attention in 2014 with cover songs but made a significant breakthrough in 2021 with her viral rendition of Mooski’s “Track Star.” Her 2019 tour with DDG and hits like “These Boys Ain’t It” have cemented her as a voice for Generation Z, her rich vocals resonating with a new wave of young women. This collaboration follows her summer tracks “Chosen” and “Crush,” continuing her upward trajectory.
“In The Hills” is just the beginning, according to Kyla. “This isn’t just a song; it’s a preview of a powerful fourth quarter, setting the stage for an exciting 2025,” she said in a recent press release.
Fans won’t have to wait long to see more of KARRAHBOOO either. She’s set to join Mariah The Scientist and Latto on the “Sugar Honey Iced Tea” tour later this month.
