Stylophones, Synths, and Suburban Dreams: Ula’s Dazzling New Era Begins

Stylophones hum like space-age cicadas in Ula’s brave new world, where heavy basslines throb like heartbeats under moonlight and the glamour of lawn mowing takes on a strange, cinematic sheen. Formerly at the helm of the prog-pop vessel Tenacity, Ula now steps solo into a synth-drenched dreamscape, unveiling her debut single "So Kind"—a shimmering opening note to her self-produced EP, boysulk, which dropped on June 27th. This isn't mere pop; it's warped, warped like heat radiating off a broken suburban sidewalk.

Drawing strands from St. Vincent's art-rock tension, Allie X's drama, and Aurora's otherworldly beat, Ula creates music that is honey-sweet and haunting. There's some strange alchemy at play here—avant-garde and melody meet in dark-lit corridors, a whisper of ghosts behind the disco ball. The Poland-native songstress moved to the UK at age 17 with nothing but melody and drive in her veins, refining her art at The BRIT School before claiming London as her living stage, performing nearly 70 shows with relentless charisma.

From the initial sparks of songwriting to the veteran buzz of studio monitors, Ula has evolved into something more than a musician—she's a sound architect. Now a producer, studio engineer, and session musician of high repute, she has control over the entire ecosystem of her craft. "So Kind" doesn't just sound professional—it breathes with the soul of one who's created every note, every sparkle, every low-end rumble with her own hands. This is what DIY sounds like when it courts sophistication.

And thus a new chapter is begun—one not of big entrances, but of verdant escapes: into warped pop gardens and sound daydreams where you can dance barefoot with ghosts and mow the lawn in sequins. With boysulk, Ula she will certainly invite us into a surreal, pulsing world of her own. One beat in, and you might never wish to leave.
