At CLOUT we have been raving about Kohla as of late, with the UK alternative pop artist’s sound seeming to always strike the balance between thoughtful and powerful writing and immersive, captivating melodies with a deftness and grace that feels unparalleled.

The latest release from the artist is her emotive new single ‘Beautiful’, a self-produced track from the artist that delves into the deeply personal and heartbreaking nature of a manipulative relationship that the artist was in that left her in a state of delusion and losing touch with herself. The stunning alternative R&B favour of the sound and the soft power of the artist’s vocals makes for an atmospheric and moving track that resonates in a really distinctive and thoughtful fashion. The message of the track is one of catharsis and moving past these problems and mistreatment, and it builds to a memorable climax that finally feels like an acceptance of peace and acceptance from the artist, providing the track with a soaring, rewarding finish.

“‘Beautiful’ is the final track from my debut album Romance, which closes the chapter of heartbreak classily, with a final vintage cassette click.” Kohla says of the track. “This personally is a definitive moment for me; a closed chapter of past mistreatment, and detachment from the suppressive ideals I was raised upon about love as a young woman.”
