A universal breakup anthem about reclaiming your voice and rewriting your story.
3 Oct 2025, Cape Town — Conscious folk-pop artist Lu’Ah invites listeners into her SoulSong universe with the release of “Burnt,” the latest single from her forthcoming debut EP From the Ether. Far more than a breakup ballad, this track is a declaration of independence for anyone ready to shed an outdated self and step boldly into a new chapter.
Emerging from a season of reflection and personal upheaval, Lu’Ah arrives with music that is equal parts radical reinvention and quiet revelation. Her sound merges the intimacy of folk storytelling with the shimmering textures of contemporary pop, carrying the pulse of a creative experiment that refuses to stay in one lane. Lyrics move like journal entries—fearless yet tender—charting the messy, beautiful process of reclaiming power and rewriting the rules.
For Lu’Ah, transformation isn’t a destination but rather a continual process of unfolding into truer versions of herself. “Burnt” captures one of those moments of ignition, where fear gives way to freedom. “Burnt is about breaking up with yourself,” she explains. “It’s the moment you realise someone else has been narrating your life—partners, culture, expectations—and you choose to take it back. When you break free, everything that held you down gets burnt.”
She continues: “I’ve learned I’m not here to possess the songs. I’m their custodian. They come through me when I surrender. ‘Burnt’ was one of those songs – it arrived like a fire, demanding to be sung.”
With sweeping production, dynamic vocal layers, and a slow-burn tension, “Burnt” plays like a cinematic uprising, building from hushed guitar motifs to a soaring chorus that feels like setting a match to the past. It’s an anthem for reinvention and the thrill of stepping into your own authority. At its core, the track carries the pulse of feminine creative energy—fluid, intuitive, uncontainable—set against production that holds space like a shoreline. It’s vulnerability and strength in the same breath.
By setting her past on fire, Lu’Ah makes space for others to feel safe reclaiming theirs. “Burnt” is not just her story but rather seen as an invitation for listeners to “reclaim their own sacred no.”
At the heart of her work lies the SoulSong universe: a sonic space where transformation becomes melody and lived experience becomes art. For Lu’Ah, songs act as frequencies—guiding healing, intuition, and radical self-expression. From the Ether, due later this year, follows the journey from silence to self-possession, offering a soundtrack for personal revolution. Each release is an immersive world of sound, story, and sacred symbolism. From the energetic coding of her name to the cinematic heat of Burnt, Lu’Ah blurs the line between music and ritual, inviting listeners into a living narrative of courage, tenderness, and radical self-expression.
