Unfortunately, it appears those dreams have been shattered. On Aug. 11 on Spotify, the song \u201cAmbiance\u201d was listed under K\/DA\u2019s new single releases in collaboration with the band food house, a duo formed by artists Gupi and Fraxiom. Unfortunately for fans of the band, the release doesn\u2019t signal a comeback of the\u00a0League-based group as Riot Games has moved to take down the wrongly attributed song on Spotify. The shadow-drop of a new music track under the K\/DA name could have mentioned the band\u2019s return to the stage, but after questioning the legitimacy of the release, Dot Esports confirmed with Riot Games that the song was not released by their popular virtual band. The musical teaser was less than two minutes long\u2014but still enough to make fans from all over the globe hope for a new K\/DA album for the end of the year. However, the track's lack of any familiar voices that the League community would easily recognize made it hard for anyone to say for certain whether this could be the start of a new K\/DA era or just a poor imitation. And while it could be said K\/DA has the potential to take over any music genre, their collective music pieces have always been more on the pop or hip-hop side of the music. But this is not the only discrepancy fans can notice in this release. The absence of every artist who would have worked on the track is evident if compared to the extensive list of names in any other K\/DA song.\u00a0 Furthermore, there is one detail that was the decisive clue pointing at the track being just an imitation of the band's comeback: the absence of any Riot trademark listed under the track. That was for the right reason in the end, as the publisher confirmed that the song should not be attributed to them or their band. Related: \u2018Constantly disappointed\u2019: Educational LoL streamer xFSN explains why he\u2019s quitting the game On the platform on which the track was released, Spotify, all League songs are trademarked by Riot Games, even those sung by other world-renowned artists\u2014with probably the only exception being a few World Championship anthems like \u201cWarriors\u201d and \u201cStar Walkin\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0 Many fans had hoped\u2014and still do\u2014to see K\/DA back on the League World Champions stage this year, especially with the competition being held in Seoul, Korea, as it is known Riot is inclined to collaborate with local partners for its esports anthems. But with Riot officially working along with Spotify to take down the newly added track to the band\u2019s discography, fans will have to keep asking for more from K\/DA. But after all, we know they got it and never runnin' low. K\/DA has been blending the realms of music and gaming since its debut in 2018 with the single POP\/STARS and later in 2020 with the album ALL OUT. Riot\u2019s music department infused its virtual bands like K\/DA and Pentakill with an innovative approach that blurs the line between virtual and reality, captivating both gamers and music enthusiasts worldwide\u2014and it could do it again in the future.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/27070721\/KDA_Group_Concept_3.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/931578"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2012"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=931578"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/931578\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":931669,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/931578\/revisions\/931669"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/95433"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=931578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=931578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=931578"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=931578"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=931578"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=931578"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=931578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Unfortunately, it appears those dreams have been shattered. On Aug. 11 on Spotify, the song \u201cAmbiance\u201d was listed under K\/DA\u2019s new single releases in collaboration with the band food house, a duo formed by artists Gupi and Fraxiom. Unfortunately for fans of the band, the release doesn\u2019t signal a comeback of the\u00a0League-based group as Riot Games has moved to take down the wrongly attributed song on Spotify. The shadow-drop of a new music track under the K\/DA name could have mentioned the band\u2019s return to the stage, but after questioning the legitimacy of the release, Dot Esports confirmed with Riot Games that the song was not released by their popular virtual band. The musical teaser was less than two minutes long\u2014but still enough to make fans from all over the globe hope for a new K\/DA album for the end of the year. However, the track's lack of any familiar voices that the League community would easily recognize made it hard for anyone to say for certain whether this could be the start of a new K\/DA era or just a poor imitation. And while it could be said K\/DA has the potential to take over any music genre, their collective music pieces have always been more on the pop or hip-hop side of the music. But this is not the only discrepancy fans can notice in this release. The absence of every artist who would have worked on the track is evident if compared to the extensive list of names in any other K\/DA song.\u00a0 Furthermore, there is one detail that was the decisive clue pointing at the track being just an imitation of the band's comeback: the absence of any Riot trademark listed under the track. That was for the right reason in the end, as the publisher confirmed that the song should not be attributed to them or their band.
