'sma' Singer Rowlene Drops Emotionally Charged New Single 'breakaway'

Talented South African singer-songwriter Rowlene has released a powerful new single Breakaway , which is available on all major music platforms via ONErpm here .

The single is a deeply personal and emotionally charged anthem about self-discovery and letting go, her publicists said in a statement on Friday 14 March.

"This song is about breaking free from situations that no longer serve you," Rowlene adds.

"It's that defining moment where you realise your worth and choose yourself. Breakaway is an anthem for anyone who has struggled with letting go but knows it's necessary for their growth."

The multi-SAMA-nominated artist originally hails from Cape Town and first gained widespread recognition through her collaboration with Nasty C on SMA . She has since established herself as a dynamic force in the music industry.

In 2021, she earned her first South African Music Awards SAMA nomination in the Best Pop Album category with her emotive 2020 album 11:11 .

Rowlenes tracks Cupid , Stay and I Need You with Nasty C were all featured on the soundtrack to Netflix's 2020 original South African series Blood Water .

Breakaway is the first single off her highly anticipated upcoming EP and comes soon after she signed to ONErpm, reinforcing her reputation as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary R B.

The song's stirring melodies and evocative storytelling paint a vivid picture of love lost and the strength found in moving forward, Rowlenes publicists said.

Produced with a compelling mix of R B and pop influences, the track highlights Rowlene's versatility and ability to connect with listeners on an intimate level.
