Toronto’s rising rap star Tara Lord is back with a fresh visual and sonic statement. Her latest single, “Child’s Play,” has now been released with an official music video that expands on the track’s themes of empowerment, assertiveness, and playful rebellion.

A Track That Flips the Game

Musically, the track embraces a genre-blending production—combining rap flows with melodic undertones and bold confidence. Reviewers noted that it gives Tara space to experiment freely and shifts flows dynamically on Earmilk.
