Folk-pop star Lu’Ah opens the doors to her SoulSong universe with Burnt, the latest single from her upcoming debut EP From the Ether.

But don’t call it just another breakup track—this is an anthem for anyone ready to torch the past and walk fearlessly into who they are becoming.

Born out of deep introspection and personal upheaval, Lu’Ah’s music is a fearless blend of reinvention and raw emotion. Her signature sound fuses intimate folk storytelling with the glossy edge of modern pop, crafting a sonic landscape that’s as fluid as it is bold. Each lyric reads like a page from a journal—vulnerable, empowering, and unafraid to dive into the messy beauty of self-discovery.

Turning fear into fire

For Lu’Ah, transformation isn’t a finish line—it’s a constant evolution into deeper, more authentic versions of herself.

Burnt captures one of those moments of ignition, where fear gives way to freedom. Burnt is about breaking up with yourself. 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. I have 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,” she said.

Igniting freedom and claiming your power

With lush production, layered vocals, and a simmering emotional build, Burnt unfolds like a cinematic reckoning—beginning with intimate guitar phrases and rising into a cathartic, sky-high chorus that feels like striking a match to everything that no longer fits. It’s not just a song—it’s a rallying cry for self-reinvention and the electrifying power of stepping fully into your own voice.

Rooted in feminine creative energy, the track flows with a sense of intuitive, untamed force—bold and fluid, yet anchored by a sonic landscape that feels both expansive and grounding. It’s a powerful fusion of vulnerability and strength—two sides of the same breath.

By burning down the version of herself shaped by outside narratives, Lu’Ah opens a door for others to do the same. Burnt becomes more than personal catharsis; it’s an invitation to reclaim your sacred boundaries—your own sacred ‘no.’

Where music becomes magic and personal revolution

At the core of Lu’Ah’s artistry is the SoulSong universe—a realm where sound becomes spellwork, and transformation is the melody. For her, music isn’t just performance; it’s a living frequency—one that channels healing, intuition, and radical self-expression.

Her upcoming debut EP, From the Ether, traces the arc from silence to self-possession, offering a soundtrack for personal revolution. Each track is its own immersive world—woven with story, emotion, and symbolic depth. From the spiritual charge of her name to the emotional wildfire of Burnt, Lu’Ah blurs the line between song and ceremony, inviting listeners into an unfolding journey of courage, vulnerability, and reclaiming truth.

Burnt” is available worldwide on all major streaming platforms.
