Akira Sky – Block My Number: Brooklyn-based artist Akira Sky returns with a stunning dose of vulnerability and alt-pop magic on her latest single, “Block My Number.” Blending moody textures with emotional depth, the fully independent singer-songwriter delivers a track that’s as introspective as it is sonically captivating.
Anchored by Akira’s smooth, expressive vocals, “Block My Number” floats through a dreamlike soundscape of pulsing synths and brooding basslines. Her voice—equal parts soulful and sharp—evokes the spirit of Janelle Monáe and the playfulness of Remi Wolf, while also channeling a magnetic, Prince-like energy. The result is a song that captures the delicate tension of setting boundaries in a fading relationship, making it feel at once personal and widely relatable.
The accompanying music video, directed by Luiza Botelho (2025 Pan African Film Festival winner), brings the story to life across the streets of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Featuring Brazilian actor Pablo Morais as a mysterious presence, the visuals explore themes of longing and detachment in stark, cinematic tones that echo the song’s emotional complexity.
As a self-produced, multi-instrumentalist force, Akira Sky continues to forge her own lane in the alt-pop space—one that balances raw honesty with lush, polished production. With her debut EP set to arrive this summer, “Block My Number” is a powerful statement from an artist turning emotional chaos into something undeniably beautiful.
