Rainbow Kitten Surprise - Superstar [Official Video]

[@Mar1chu]

22 hours :) me and my dad loved this band and even went to go see them in Kansas City two years ago I believe?? before they went on break. My dad passed away in September and having new RKS songs give me comfort. Knowing my dad is right next to me listening to them with me. It’s an amazing feeling. I miss you everyday dad.

[@dr0ps0fspace]

Listen to their new song LOL ❤

[@paulpanamarenko]

He’s stoked dude. Here’s to your dad and mine. Maybe they’re bowling in heaven…or wherever we go after this.

[@kansaselliott823]

I was at that KC show. I'm sorry to hear about your dad. I found this band after my dad passed 2018. I totally understand the comfort it brings.

Verse 1] Running right back to where we all got started Got your fingers running through my hair Tell me on the tracks that we all die someday I don't ever flinch, who's scared? Maybe just a little, caught up to my friends And they're saying looking better than I did Still a bad taste when you try to save face Knowing damn well what we did Doesn't even matter, I'ma kick it, it's a habit Not a ladder, but we'll climb it and I'll see you upstairs Someday I'm your ex and I'll text you, "Say less" And all you wanna do is cry, remember you said Chorus] You told me you loved mе, baby I'm your superstar again I was always gonna win I was so above the rеst In your eyes, in your mind In your heart, in your head I'm your superstar I'm your superstar I can't be nothing less Post-Chorus] I can't be nothing less I can't be nothing [Verse 2] Fell asleep, you're on repeat, now this is one I know I hear you sing it all the time and, fellas, it's a showstopper Telling me we're meant to be, it's like we cracked the code I lost the key and, baby, I bought everything you sold me Chorus] Well, you told me you loved me, baby I'm your superstar again I was always gonna win I was so above the rest In your eyes, in your mind In your heart, in your head I'm your superstar I'm your superstar I can't be nothing less Post-Chorus] I can't be nothing less I can't be nothing [Bridge] Sound, sound, sound Oh, won't you say it out loud? Won't you say you're damn proud Of me just when I'm down? Someday when it counts I'm gonna beat the buzzer, babe The scream is because of me Do you remember when you told me Chorus] Well, you told me you loved me, baby I'm your superstar again I was always second best I would always second guess And I try as I might But in my head, in my head I was losing you I was losing it 'Til you told me you loved me, baby I'm your superstar again I was always gonna win I was so above the rest In your eyes, in your mind In your heart, in your head I'm your superstar I'm your superstar I can't be nothing less

You can dig it all you want but to say you don’t notice a difference in their music between now and then is just insane to me. It’s almost a different genre.

[@jeremysuggs8345]

Hello my friend! (~): Wier everywhere

[@Sarah-uu9pg]

I’ve been telling people that RKS reminds me of Grateful Dead and they don’t see it at all! I think it’s the way they sound like so many different genres, they invented their own.

I'm an old Pink Floyd fan! we go back.

[@jenniferjohnson7356]

Same!

[@samml8591]

I've never been able to decide on a favorite band until I found RKS a few years ago. You guys are the only band I can say I genuinely like/love all of your songs and I love how each album has a bit of it's own vibe. I finally get to see you guys live this year and you'll be my partner's first ever concert! Stay slaying superstar

I really hope if they do a tour they come to New Mexico, that would be an amazing experience to hear them live.

[@Alex-bq3po]

I cannot stop listening! You all came back in the same moment I needed some sparkle. Thank you for the continuous guidance with your music

[@judeisthatdude]

This band means a lot to me. RKS was the first album I heard by them, the start of my party days. It was a fun album and an album that helped me continue the party. How to: Friend, Love, Freefall kept me alive during my active addiction. I was on stimulants for almost seven years. I lost my best friend of a decade to an overdose and I’ve never been the same. Love Hate Music Box is the album that reminds me of how far I’ve come and how much I’ve grown as a person. I’ve been over a year drug free and I’ve never felt like a better version of myself than today. Thank you Rainbow Kitten Surprise, your music has helped me more than you know🫶

[@Godlessrain]

This is going to be played on repeat. Ela, you look stunning 😭

[@lilicho003]

i need this in my life right now, hope everyone in the band is healthy and safe!

I've been praying for everyone's health and hoping yall would come back soon! I was going to see you guys live 2 days in a row last year before you had to cancel all the shows. I'm so happy to see you guys coming back. Can't wait for the premiere! I love every single song you have ever released and I'm sure I'll love this one too 💕

[@ImaginarySusan]

Me too! Cleaveland😢

[@DCReal93]

I just discovered this band this week and I am hooked I can't believe I didn't find them sooner. I'm very excited for this record

[@claya.4739]

Got a bit tearry eyed at the end there.. RKS i love youuuuuuu, i've been a fan since i discovered you back in middle school, looping your songs on the transport back just zoning out to your music. I'm glad i found you, and i'm glad you could found yourselves as you helped me found myself too.

[@poetry.fromsaturn]

This album is a masterpiece. Do the world a favor, and DON'T STOP MAKING MUSIC! I saw you live in San Diego a few days ago, and I still feel the aftershock of your live performance. I feel alive and privileged to come across (and support) true artists.

[@cinnlind]

Ignore all the hate. RKS fans act like you're the first band they've ever loved. Bands go through shit. Bands change their sound. I love what y'all are doing. Keep it up. Love to charlie and love to y'all equally. Shit happens. The songs are great

[@sophieh.2986]

and no matter in what direction they are going, her voice is so unique, cool and beautiful that I will never get tired of hearing her sing❤

[@normalratrat]

what a huge difference between this song and a song like cold love.. not mad if this the direction they want to go, i'll always have their older songs

[@kathleenj3979]

This is the only song I know, so I can't compare. I love it and wonder if I'd like their older music too. I'm interested, I want to hear much more!

Ela, I remember the early days when you guys started this band and now to see where you guys have come, it’s absolutely amazing and I love it. I’ll never forget seeing RKS in concert in Chapel Hill in 2017 and what a great show you guys put on. Hope to see RKS again soon!!

[@pasque6695]

the SMILE this gave me

[@DanielCalabaza]

I’ve been an RKS fan since Cocaine Jesus hit my Spotify in 2015, and it’s been pretty interesting to see their rise to fame in recent years. A whole new generation found them, thanks to Freefall blowing up on the Tok. Kinda wild to think that they have the biggest following they’ve ever had and they haven’t put out an album in 6 YEARS. And while I’m happy for them because they deserve all of the success, I’m afraid that I’m experiencing me “growing apart” from them. At least their sound. When you’re a fan of a musical artist early on, you either grow with them or you don’t. I realize that feeling comes with most any change, but my initial thoughts are that this sounds too watered down, too polished, too…record label-y and mainstream? I mean, it’s noticeably less lyrical than gems like American Shoes & The Comedown and much less passionate than the likes of Cold Love or Lady Lie. I don’t know. This and LOL just don’t do much for me. I hope they grow on me and I’ll gladly listen to their new album come May, but I’m a lot less excited for it. I spare you my opinion on the whole Charlie situation and IG post, but I will say that this rollout seems a little sloppy for a band signed to Warner. Forever a fan though. I’ll be replaying their triple threat until May. ✌️

[@BryceRogers_]

Couldn't agree more. They feel less like a unit, and the writing seems all over the place and unfortunately blinded by hubris. The lyrics and vocal fervor are not compelling like their first three albums... I sure hope this new album in May is a different story, but I'm not holding my breath. Just goes to show how band unity and chemistry matters a ton. Maybe this will be just an off-period for the band, or the "dark days"... but I do wish them the best and for better days in the future. Charlie will be missed, and so will the original lineup

[@Picking_upY0urPetalZ]

You described what I’m feeling perfectly! It’s not just about the sound, but the lyrics themselves just aren’t as compelling as some of their earlier stuff.

[@JessLuBera]

Agreed regarding the "polish". The composition feels like a song that I'd expect from 2015 Miley Cyrus with a little RKS thrown in. Growing apart is the appropriate term. Have loved RKS since the early days, but this isn't the sound that attracted me to them. We'll always have the early music.

[@swagcake769]

lol i found them not bc of freefall but the tiktok where someone is outside a shop called Rainbow Kitchen Supplies and says I love that band!

[@justinhandley2516]

No greater feeling than listening to a new song, unsure if you'll like it, and it just kills you. I'm in a car by myself and screamed fuck yes like three times on my first listen.

Ya’ll never fail to make those emotions flow right through me… 💕 RKS forever… looking forward to the new album fs

[@lmperry133]

Magic! All the loves and all the feels;

[@CrabBaskets]

Im liking the new sound of RKS bringing in bits of pop. Lyrics wise, I know im holding onto nostalgia a bit hard here and want to say that lyrically doesn't feel particularly funky or provocative as their earlier albums. Not my favorite song, but am looking forward to the rest of the album!

[@beatBoxingPuppy1122]

I LOVE RKS AND I THANK MY BSF FOR SHOWING ME THIS AMAZING BAND

[@portalplainsandwich6766]

catchy af, AND...as the dad of a 27 yr kiddo who has struggled with both gender & body dysphoria for their entire life, it's great to see artists tackle it head on. it's hard watching your kid struggle and really all you can do is love, accept and support them unconditionally. i know many don't have parents who do, and you deserve better. please remember that. Love the name of the band, too, glad we discovered you today.

Just some weeks ago I was thinking about the band and hoping for their return but especially for them to get better. I’m also going through a lot currently including loss and change.. but music definitely heals and feels. Saying I needed this is an understatement. The first time I heard you all was when you were on CBS and I was at work completely awestruck. Like the first time I heard your music, I started to cry just like I am now. It’s raw, relatable, and just sounds so damn good. I know yall are aware of how much your music has helped people and I am one of those people. I’m so happy for yalls return and I can’t wait to see what’s in store. RKS is my “Superstar.” (I know the lyrics has a different meaning but I mean it in the best way possible

[@fandore12]

Though I personally will never really understand gender dysphoria, (and seems a bit crash for me to do so) i have never let anyone form me to social standards. this has put me at a more sigma level. on an emotional side of things, this song can work for two individuals who love each other which is what i picked up first time hearing. (i love to retro - low vibe feel. that really hits hard.. keep up the awesome music)

[@ZedPeaslee]

As a nonbinary person I. Thought that's what it was abt too two peoples love for one another society standards or others gender norm standards towards you especially in a relationship can be tough
