LUKA – 'Play Thing'

Rising singer-songwriter LUKA gives synth pop a new coat of colour on striking new single ‘Play Thing’.

‘Play Thing’ lives in a stripped back setting. Faint whispers of an instrumental backdrop create a hypnotic atmosphere, but the track’s heartbeat lies in LUKA’s gorgeous synth coated vocals. This simple yet brilliant touch gives ‘Play Thing’ a futuristic, almost extra-terrestrial feel and speaks for LUKA’s unbound creativity.

Talking about the track, she reveals: “It turned into a song about allowing somebody to have too much control over you and your emotions, and deciding it needs to change. This is a theme that I can relate to. Too often we are unkind to ourselves, allowing people to treat us badly in what we like to call love. I hope hearing these lyrics may feel familiar, something I think lots of other people will be able to relate to as well. Knowing we deserve better and having a little dance to celebrate.”
