Thai refugee artists Star2 and Seko release “Once In A While”, the heartfelt new single and music video. Both born in the Mae La refugee camp in Thailand, the artists draw on their rich cultural heritage with the song almost entirely sung in the Ka-ren language and the music video filmed in Thailand.

“Once In A While” features poignant lyrics that reflect the deep emotions of longing and love, such as “My tears I secretly wipe them away by myself / I love you so much, so whatever you say is never wrong / I’ll chase after you over a hundred times”. Tugging at your heartstrings, the song is beautifully layered with rich harmonies, delicate piano notes, and a backdrop of female vocals that evoke a sense of connection that feels both intimate and distant. As both artists deliver their verses with raw, unfiltered emotion, the feeling of lost love is one that is never forgotten.

Refugee pop meets hip hop artist Star2 fled his refugee camp as a child when the Burmese Army destroyed their village and attacked them in the middle of the night. Faced with overwhelming heartache and loss growing up, Star2 found his solace in music. He has collaborated with the likes of Soulja Boy, $tupid Young, Mozzy, MBNel, Luh Kel, Lil Poppa, HoodTrophy Bino, YSN Flow, and MarMar Oso just to name a few. Now, Star2 is on a mission to elevate the next generation of Ka-ren and Asian Artists.

Asian-American artist Star2 releases the new single and video for “Clout Chaser”, the latest club banger and animated video. “Clout Chaser” is the fourth track from Star2’s upcoming album Shooting Stars. An unabashedly blunt anthem about hungry social climbers, “Clout Chaser” chronicles the complexities that go hand-in-hand with money, status, and fame.

“Clout Chaser” jumps into your chest with a pounding beat and sub bass, topped off with trap hi hats that dance around the listeners’ head. Atmospheric samples serve as the backdrop alongside a stabbing, descending string line and a relentlessly haunting piano melody. Paired with an action-packed animated video by Lubomir Atan, the visuals for “Clout Chaser” profile a fierce race between two women to reach Star2 and his riches at the finish line. Star2 warns, “When you come up, people want to eat off your plate. Watch out for girls who clout chase and only want to use you.”

Currently on a homecoming trip to Thailand, Star2 is returning to his roots at the Mae La refugee camp where he was born. Star2 has collaborated with Soulja Boy, $tupid Young, Mozzy, MBNel, Luh Kel, Lil Poppa, HoodTrophy Bino, YSN Flow, and MarMar Oso. He has received high acclaim from Ones to Watch, Harper’s Bazaar Vietnam, GQ, Earmilk, BET, Lyrical Lemonade, HotNewHipHop, and more.
