Last week, Kobra And The Lotus vocalist Kobra Paige released a new solo single and video, "HOTT.". She has followed up with a message to her fans:
"Wow gang, you freakin' rock! I’m floored and absolutely delighted by the positive reception of 'HOTT.'
I’ve been a literal hot mess of feelings since Thursday evening. A mix of joy, relief, and deep gratitude for the fierce amount of support. I feel very connected to you. It means a great deal to me to see so many of you feeling empowered by the song and video.
So many of you got the message and are taking that sense of worthiness into your heart. You deserve to live powerfully in your authentic truth and never lose sight of that. This is the reason I make music and art with people. Thank you for the reminder.
Thank you for also empowering me, simultaneously. You’re all so beautiful. I’m a bleeding heart.
Thank you."
Kobra shared the following message with the release of the video for "HOTT.": "I’ve been waiting to light a fire under some asses w/ this song for two years. 'HOTT.' is about navigating our sense of self-worth in an extraordinarily convoluted era of social media domination.
Crippling anxiety, increasing levels of low self-esteem, next level bullying, body dysmorphia, compare and despair culture, amplified narcissistic behaviours, competition for validation. These are all parts of human nature but not the parts that were ever meant to be the loudest.
I am personally still working on figuring out how to engage in social media in a healthy way and not let it disempower me or challenge my sense of self. Time for change, time to shake this shit up, and time to have more conversations about it. Let’s re-anchor in our own authentic truth. I invite you to come with me, in my new music video for 'HOTT., as I check myself into Dr. Worthlove’s Center for Self-Confidence, a medical clinic that is truly one of a kind. Enjoy!!"
"HOTT." is available via digital platforms found here.
