Rising Star, KLA, Makes Musical Return with New Single, “In My Way”
Rising singer, KLA (pronounced “Kayla”) has made her long-awaited return to music with the release of her new single, “In My Way,” out now across all major streaming platforms. The track—a fierce anthem of self- empowerment and resilience—marks her first major musical release since her debut “Nobody’s Looking” featuring Patty Monroe.
“This song is about owning your power, no matter what stands in your way,” says KLA. “‘Nobody’s Looking’ introduced me to the world, but ‘In My Way’ is my reintroduction—stronger, bolder, and completely on my own terms.”

KLA first captivated audiences with her 2019 debut, followed by a meteoric rise as a content creator, model, and Miss SA Top 35 finalist (2020). Now, she merges her digital savvy with her musical roots, crafting a sound inspired by global icons like Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Kehlani, while staying rooted in African authenticity.
With its anthemic energy and viral-ready hooks, “In My Way” is primed to be a favourite.
