The artist and entrepreneur’s October 22 video release connects her romantic R&B direction with a wider effort to define her career across music, beauty, fashion and lifestyle.
For Kalabrya, the official “Really Like That” music video arrives at a moment when the different parts of her professional life are coming into sharper focus. Released on October 22 following the single’s October 16 debut, the visual is now available on VEVO, moving her current musical reintroduction beyond an audio release and giving audiences another way into a record built around affection, vulnerability and the confidence to embrace both.
Her route into this chapter has crossed countries, disciplines and industries. Born in Bahía Blanca, Argentina, and raised in Houston, Texas, and Benton Harbor, Michigan, Kalabrya went on to play Division I basketball at Michigan State University before expanding her professional interests across entertainment and entrepreneurship. That range remains part of her identity as she develops a public presence encompassing music, beauty, fashion and lifestyle rather than limiting herself to a single pursuit.
The Lipstickroyalty Agency Inc. is guiding that professional reintroduction, connecting her recording ambitions with her business interests and wider public identity. The agency reports that she has secured three trademarks as part of an ongoing emphasis on ownership and long-term growth. Those developments build on the creative and business expansion surrounding “Really Like That”, placing the release within a broader career plan without losing sight of the personal experiences behind the music.
At the center of the song is a more intimate form of self-expression. Inspired by her experiences with love and relationships, Kalabrya draws on early-2000s R&B and the genre’s tradition of emotionally direct storytelling, pairing a contemporary outlook with an appreciation for romance. The emphasis is on genuine affection and the pleasure of connection, choosing openness over emotional distance and treating love as something that can be meaningful without becoming complicated.
That outlook gives her lover-girl direction its purpose: softness is not presented as a retreat from confidence, but as another way of expressing it. The record makes room for women who value romance, emotional connection and the freedom to show affection on their own terms. Kalabrya’s stated desire for listeners to feel heard and seen reinforces that intention, bringing the focus back to recognition and shared experience rather than an image of detachment.
The video’s arrival extends those ideas into the visual side of the release and marks a fresh stage in its rollout. With both versions available, audiences can discover the song through the official visual or return to it with a clearer sense of the artistic identity Kalabrya is developing. It also creates a foundation for further storytelling about her creative process and the experiences that inform her work, without separating that work from the wider evolution of her career.
“Really Like That” is available on major streaming platforms, with the official music video now on VEVO. Together, they introduce a romantic direction that makes emotional openness central to Kalabrya’s musical identity. As she continues building her entertainment and business presence, this release keeps a personal idea at the forefront: embracing love and pursuing ambitious goals can belong to the same story.
