Cape Town based singer-songwriter Luh’ra harnesses a purity of sound and story that reveal an artist on the cusp of reaching a wider, global audience, with her second release, “Nice”. The seven-track record, a follow-up to her 2019 debut EP ‘Luh’ra Luv’, takes the indie soul that Luh’ra has been sharing with audiences for the past five years and gently, and quite beautifully, expands it. Subtle notes of jazz, silky R&B and smooth beats now also help propel an intimate journey through the multiple facets of human connection that Luh’ra sketches out on “Nice” bringing the artist into the sonic terrain occupied by artists like Lianne La Havas, Cleo Sol and Raveena.
“I took it as an opportunity to grow – especially in terms of the musicality of my work,” says Luh’ra of her 2022 release.
Luh’ra describes the title track as being inspired by a post adventure story that was shared with her. “My friend and her sister had spent a few days together out in the wild and the way the memories were shared with me evoked many visual ideas as well as feelings of admiration at their sisterhood and friendship. It allowed me to reflect on my own relationships which I have in my life.”
With strong reviews already for its first singles, Luh’ra’s EP is a welcome addition to a timeless musical canon that matches beautiful music with words that connect directly to the human heart.
