Don’t regret not listening to Lujza’s new single, ‘Shoulda Woulda’, out now. The track, which features Michael Kay, is out now and can be streamed and downloaded here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

‘Shoulda Woulda’, from prolific artist Lujza, tells the story of a personal heartbreak, in broken relationship. Speaking of the track, the artist says,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

‘Shoulda\u00a0Woulda’\u00a0very much focuses on the regrets that happen at the end of a relationship, the things that are said and done that may cause pain<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The empowering anthem tells a deeply relatable story that is both raw and inspirational. Collaborating with Perth based artist Michael Kay, and working with Australian producer Izaac Wilson, Lujza’s ‘Shoulda Woulda’ is incredibly catchy, with dense layers of pop and RnB instrumentals matching the vocals. The overall effect is that of a early 2000s diva style – think Destiny’s Child, and even Beyonc\u00e9\u00a0herself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hailing from Budapest, Hungary, but now based on the east coast of Australia, Lujza has plenty of stories to tell and is set to share them. Her debut single, ‘Caught Up’, was a runaway success when she released it in November last year. Since then she has dropped 6 more tracks, each expressing her diversity and range in more impressive ways as time goes on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lujza’s incredible songwriting talent is evident in ‘Shoulda Woulda’, which sees her taking a deep dive into the breakdown of a relationship, along with those regrets that come along, unbidden. She says of her writing,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

‘Writing has always been therapeutic for me. I capture my thoughts in a lot of cases as they happen or when I have been triggered by certain key words or events. Now living on the east coast of Australia, I write at the beach, by the lake or sometimes late at night sitting in bed listening to tunes that inspire me.’\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

With her sound that will find a home with all listeners, no matter where they come from, Lujza speaks for all of us, and gives us comfort and even joy. ‘Shoulda Woulda’ is out now and can <\/strong>be streamed and downloaded here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
