Sheena-Rae Redefines Solitude with debut album "so low luv"


With the half-heard roar of London's never-sleeping streets in the background, Sheena-Rae brings an album that is part confession and part celebration. Her debut original album, "so low luv", emerged on July 25th, stitched together from heartbreak and healing, and late-night studio work. As lead vocalist and lyricist, she assembled this ten-track journey with three producers, writing music that lingers between the dark corners of lost love and quiet triumph at finding oneself. Even the imagery is a reaction to her vision—two aggressive videos filmed to capture the raw intimacy of her songs.

What is "so low luv" magnetic is its duality: ache of loss balanced by the throb of self-knowledge. Enthralled by the emotional truth of such artists as Kehlani and Tinashe, Sheena-Rae incorporates vulnerability into beats, offering listeners with melodies both soft and sharp. Each song is a diary entry, crafted from pockets of unrequited love, shattered friendships, and soft realizations. It is not only an album, but a mirror—an act of gifting proclaiming: here is her tale, but it might be heard as yours as well.


Behind the curtain of production lies a story of tenacity. With everything recorded in her own studio at home, Sheena-Rae shouldered the bulk of her own imagination, as her producers, mixers, and engineers built the soundscape in far-off places. It's a method that reflects the times we live in—distance no longer a hindrance to creativity, but the canvas upon which it's created. Being a British Indian artist, she incorporates pop, R&B, and even rap elements in her music, demonstrating that her voice is as multifaceted as the heritage she comes from, as flexible as the city she grew up in.

Freshly minted from a series of live performances in Spain, Sheena-Rae now embarks on bringing "so low luv" to London stages, her home city looking forward to the songs that pulse with her realness. Songs like "I do me" and "Small talk" have already occupied online space with evocative words, but live, their heaviness promises to cut even more harshly. This album is a declaration. Sheena-Rae has walked in silence with solitude, and within that silence, she found music. She now shares it with the world.
