Dear Fear is produced by <strong>eMadonna<\/strong> and <strong>Mike Baretz<\/strong>. Kota&#8217;s lyrics are always on point, but his visual in this one goes beyond his regular Lyrics to Go features. He created the visual to look like a scene out of a movie. In the video he writes a letter to Fear, hence the title of the song, &#8216;Dear Fear&#8217;. One fan on Kota&#8217;s YouTube page summed up the video perfectly when he said &#8220;you don&#8217;t just hear the song but you feel it&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Kota&#8217;s team informed us that they will be announcing their 2022 <strong>Flight Night Festival<\/strong> series within the next week. The festival will make stops in LA, NYC, Chicago, Colorado, Pennsylvania, London and Paris.<\/p>\n<p>The video is below.
