"We wanted to create something playful, danceable, and pulsating," said Erika. "Alih and I value ourselves as women in the industry. We have different backgrounds and styles, but we vibe so well in that radiant sense. We both have had our fair share of male encounters both professionally and romantically that have led us to those "ah-ha" moments of waking up and using our voices to take the power back." - Kendra Erika
