POISON

East London’s Freya Leiya returns with POISON, a hypnotic alt R&B single that drips with heartbreak, desire, and cinematic intimacy. Written and recorded alone in her room, the track spills raw emotion straight onto the mic, blending slow-burning guitar lines with her sultry, soulful vocals. Influenced by Amy Winehouse, Frank Ocean, and Erykah Badu, Freya moves between vulnerability and strength, turning personal pain into music that feels universal. POISON follows a string of soulful releases leading up to her debut EP She’s Lost, a NextGen-funded project supported by Youth Music, Dr. Martens, and TikTok. Stereofox calls her “something special… effortlessly blending ethereal melodies with raw, heartfelt lyricism.” Channeling the emotive energy of Jorja Smith and Snoh Aalegra, Freya builds a world of red, smoke, and heartbreak where imperfections are sacred and emotion reigns. With POISON, Freya Leiya proves she is a bold new voice in alt R&B, and she is only just getting started.
