Kira
Isabella is hot, hot, hot. Fresh off the success of her
debut single "Quarterback" from her latest album
Caffeine & Big Dreams, the Orléans native
unveiled the video for "Shake It If Ya Got It"
during CMT's Top 20 Countdown on Saturday.
In
the lead-in to the world broadcast premiere, Kira described
the tune as a departure from her other singles, most notably
"Quarterback" which dealt with the emotional
subject of date rape.
"It's
fun, young and energetic," Kira told Top 20 Countdown
host Evan Farmer. "It's really just a party song.
It was so much fun to shoot. We did it in Toronto and
a couple of my friends were in it and my band."

If Ya Got It" visit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEQMp6-M2b4.
The
song itself is destined to be another hit for the 21-year-old
St. Peter High School alum following on the heels of "Quarterback"
which Spin magazine declared "unequivocally the top
country song of 2014".
Accolades
like that continue to open the doors for Kira in the songwriting
world. A subject she touched on in her interview with
Farmer.
"It
really opens doors, especially for writing. When people
here that, they're a little more willing to let you come
in and write with them and that's what I'm really excited
about."
One
of those people Kira plans to write with when she heads
to Nashville later this month is fellow Canadian Mackenzie
Porter. Both women have been nominated for the Juno Awards
for Country Album of the Year
Kira
was previously nominated for Breakthrough Artist of the
Year in 2013. She also has two Canadian Country Music
Association awards to her credit for Rising Star of the
Year in 2012 and Female Artist of the Year in 2013.
