Rainbow Kitten Surprise - LOL [Official Video]

[@hannahtobi6132]

Glad to see the comments here are more positive than on Instagram! I don’t understand why people were being so negative. Soo happy RKS is making music again!! 🎉

[@cyndilouwho]

ig was just a teaser and is more focused on the previous post about the departure. If ppl come this way it's mostly to hear the new song. Comments will be torn either way, but yes facebook and here are much more positive ❤

[@MentalAsEver]

Instagram comments are probably the meanest comments on the internet

[@sideshowbrowny4595]

instagram is a cesspit, horrible depressing people live there

[@brooksbrocc]

So many assumptions in those comments. Like can we just be happy that they did what was best for them all. It could have been so much worse.

[@pmartialburguieres5007]

I am happy for them. It’s just this music isn’t RKS. Also, it sucks.

[@caseosborn330]

a whole new era is a little scary after 10 years as a fan but I'm so eager for this chapter!! 🥰

[@halliebirds]

Same!!!! Having a really weird time sorting thru my feelings 😭

[@catdadtfb9321]

It's going to be a TRANSistion!

[@jenileestepptriebert4712]

Right?! I’ve been listening since Boone and kinda in a mindfuck with this last week 😅

[@jeseniabravo]

So glad that they all took the time they needed to figure out how to move forward! Sad that Charlie isn’t continuing this new era with the band but can’t wait so what’s to come❤

[@Ray-nv6ue]

It’s very saddening that they got kicked out.

[@T-abby]

Shit happens. We don’t know the full story

[@mailmansteve87]

The other albums got me through my alcohism & the last 2 years of sobriety. I am very thankful for this band & maybe this album isn't for someone like me but I hope it's therapeutic to others

[@sud0box]

This album let me heal from a long term relationship breakup. I got to listen to RKS without the baggage attached! (Relatively)

[@crimsoniron9671]

I’ve been a fan for so many years now and never been so invested in a band. I’m happy to see y’all back.

[@mikalamackesy9849]

Sameeee 😭💖💖

[@BeeBeeBeeLol]

It's a shame Charlie is departing but here's to new beginnings for you all. I'm glad y'all decided to keep making music after all. Thank you for existing

[@scarecrow2621]

Kicked out*

[@deniseoo7]

i know they won't be the same, i don't think any band has ever been the same after a departure/kick out.

[@ScampScanner]

​@@rbeezy-They didn't gave an exact reason. Just: "After a concerted effort to move forward together, Ela could not find a way to continue working with them...and the band seriously contemplated calling it quits." So we don't know what happened.

[@ZedAmadeus]

damn man... sucked to find out this way. really wish they kept that post more vague, I'm not trying to parasocial with any of these guys I just love and respect the music. keep your drama to yourself or actually commit, cause all I'm getting from that is bitterness which kind of sours the listening experience.

[@Alex-bq3po]

@@ZedAmadeus​​⁠​⁠​⁠ the process of creating and letting it out in the music :) that’s what you put in it

[@kay-ceesapp7766]

ELA the outfits are AMAZING!!! you look absolutely stunning so excited to see what the future holds with Rks. I see a lot of negative comments about the departure with Charlie but I understand that change happens…. Its hard but also necessary for growth. It shows strength when people are able to let go and move forward. I wish all the best to Charlie as well as RKS!!❤

[@wepodsonicallyconcerts]

Okay actually I love this so much. It’s enough of the old to feel familiar but enough forward movement that it feels fresh. Legit legit legit.

[@DJ-kb8nt]

Very well said. This plus the initial teaser we got on ig, sounds like it’s gonna be a good sounding album.

[@Ray-nv6ue]

I’m really glad you like it so much but I don’t hear that at all. The only familiar thing is Ela’s voice. And even that is auto-tuned so heavily now…. Is the old sound in the room with us?

@@Ray-nv6uewhat? Autotuned is literally used for 10 seconds in this entire song. What do you mean? Also every single album sounds different from the previous. New fan or only familiar with the hit songs?

[@Dead_Anteater]

the whole chorus is auto-tune

[@samanthagonzalez7795]

I think people forget Charlie was part of writing this album that’s upcoming so they want to hate on the new music to take sides… but in reality this was going to be their direction with or without Charlie involved. They will be missed dearly, but RKS will still be RKS

[@JAMAKI_SAMATE21]

I’m so glad my favorite band, entertainers, freak soul rock singers are back keep making me happy and making better choices.✨

[@CandiceHere]

ELA!!!! STUNNING! Knocked it out of the park!

[@madelyncooley1140]

I have never been as moved by a band as I have this one. I am nervous about this new era, but still so excited to see everyone on the road again ❤

[@ElectricTank]

Keep going your own way!!! The real fans hang alongside your journey :)

[@T-abby]

Facts

[@Hiskool1s]

I agree with your sentiment but i don’t think it’s technically correct. If they weren’t hard 1920’s folk bluegrass, I think a lot of the current fans would rightly drop off.

[@ElectricTank]

@Hiskool1s it's just a new sound. All their old stuff is still there! They remain incredibly talented and I'm excited to see how they can adapt to change.

[@4KTREY.]

nah i’m a real fan but this is garbage

[@BadAce67]

@@4KTREY.not a real fan if that’s what you have to say. Just another weirdo upset by somebody else’s life choices

[@ramblinhamlin6519]

It is sincerely righteous that you all are back. It is sad to see Chatlie leaving, but it may be for the best growth of everyone involved. But... I would like you all to know that your music is the best medicine for my mental health. To weep at a live show is the best therapy session that I have ever paid for. Very ready for you all to come back to St. Louis.

[@tbonekirky56]

This is the best RKS video yet in terms of messaging the subtext of the lyrics. So happy to see Ela getting her confidence and energy back. ❤ Keep shinin, RKS!

I like it but honestly… little to poppy for my taste. i love drop stop and roll, and i am hoping their new songs go back into that direction; less autotune, more indie rock type songs. But still a huge fan and excited (and a little nervous) for this new chapter!

[@fleaboops]

i’ve never been this invested into a band, 5 years deep into supporting y’all & to my understanding this rebranding is an attempt to keep up with the times? make sure to stay authentic to ur selves. the folk/indie/rock esk sound will forever remain in a safe guarded place in my heart. keep up the grind nonetheless, i rest my case.

[@Ray-nv6ue]

From a money and popularity standpoint it makes sense, but it feels soulless now from what I’ve heard. Personally I hope the whole album isn’t like this. I don’t hear any of their past authenticity under all of the autotune and pop.

[@ath0lbr0se]

Some bands just find new sounds. Whose to say it's not what they wanted to do, and this is who they authentically are now? Personally I don't think anything will surpass my love for Friend Love Freefall and I'm disliking the prevalence of autotune but they're the artists here, this is their expression and soul. Happened to me with Mother Mother too. Superstar was pretty great though imo!
