Lu’Ah Unveils Transformative New Single “Burnt” from Debut EP From the Ether

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. The track transcends a traditional breakup ballad, serving as a declaration of independence for anyone ready to shed an outdated self and embrace a new chapter.

Emerging from a season of personal upheaval, Lu’Ah crafts music that blends radical reinvention with quiet revelation. Her sound fuses intimate folk storytelling with shimmering contemporary pop textures, creating a dynamic sonic experiment that defies genre boundaries.

Lyrics in “Burnt” read like journal entries, fearless yet tender, charting the messy and beautiful process of reclaiming personal power. Lu’Ah explains, “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.”

The song’s production builds from hushed guitar motifs to a soaring chorus, carrying slow-burn tension and dynamic vocal layers. It channels feminine creative energy, combining vulnerability and strength in a way that feels both intuitive and uncontainable. Lu’Ah adds, “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.”

“Burnt” is more than a personal narrative; it’s an invitation for listeners to reclaim their own stories. By burning away past constraints, Lu’Ah creates space for others to assert their power and say their sacred “no.”

Her upcoming EP, From the Ether, continues the journey from silence to self-possession, offering a sonic space where transformation becomes melody and lived experience becomes art. Each release immerses the listener in the SoulSong universe, blending story, sound, and sacred symbolism.

Lu’Ah’s ethereal folk-pop sound reflects a life of exploration and reflection. Based in Cape Town, she crafts music that transcends borders, encouraging listeners to reclaim their narratives through immersive, soulful artistry.

“Burnt” is now available on Apple Music and all major streaming platforms.
