There’s something undeniably special about music that feels like a quiet conversation with the soul. Duanna’s debut EP, ‘Lona’, is exactly that – a deeply personal, sonically rich project that embraces transformation, vulnerability and the emotional weight of the unknown. With a blend of dreamy pop, subtle electronica and cinematic composition, the five-track release offers an intimate glimpse into the mind of an artist who isn’t afraid to explore the delicate balance between strength and fragility.

Each song on ‘Lona’ feels like a moment suspended in time. “Ruins” sways with a haunting elegance, layered with intricate beats and airy vocals that feel like echoes from the past, while “Haleine” carries a weightless, almost hypnotic energy. On “Random Girl”, Duanna delivers one of the most striking lines on the EP: “And I feel that you just wanna feed on my insides.” The rawness of her words, paired with the track’s minimalist yet immersive production, creates an experience that is both intimate and unsettling – like standing on the edge of an emotional revelation.

What sets ‘Lona’ apart is its ability to evoke complex feelings with subtlety. The production is detailed yet restrained, allowing the melodies and lyrics to take centre stage. Duanna’s background as a film composer is evident in the way she builds tension and release within her music, crafting soundscapes that feel as visually compelling as they are sonically mesmerising. Each track unfolds like a cinematic scene, full of emotion, nuance and the kind of quiet intensity that leaves a lasting impression.

With ‘Lona’, Duanna proves that music doesn’t need grand gestures to make a deep impact. The EP is a slow-burning, immersive experience that rewards close listening and emotional introspection. It’s a stunning debut – one that introduces Duanna as an artist with a singular voice, an interesting vision and an undeniable gift for storytelling through sound.
