When the classically trained
Sena Kana made her pop debut in 2017, her gossamer vocals and uplifting messages were well-received in Europe, where she topped streaming and song sales charts. Adding accessible elements of hip-hop and EDM to her soft-focus pop, she re-emerged two years later with "Up," a collaboration with pop group
Sheppard and rapper
Wiz Khalifa that went gold in the States. Her Billboard 200-charting EP
Show Me re-sequences her debut EP from the previous year, Serenity, adding "Show Me" featuring
Ty Dolla $ign. The EP is highlighted by "Undisputed," a writing and performance collaboration with
Poo Bear that contrasts
Kana's ethereal vocal melody, mallet percussion timbres, and minimalist trap-derived beats with a rumbling bassline and
Poo Bear's rich counterpoint. ~ Marcy Donelson
