SOMA PEELS BACK THE LAYERS OF LOVE, OBSESSION AND INNER CHAOS ON FIERCE NEW SINGLE ‘RAW’
After turning heads and earning critical acclaim with her debut mixtape Cobra earlier this year, breakout alternate hip-hop artist SOMA returns with her boldest release yet: RAW
– a hypnotic, beat-heavy deep dive into the brutal honesty of heartbreak, obsession, and emotional survival.
Released today, RAW explodes with the lyrical intensity and rhythmic edge that’s becoming SOMA’s signature. Backed by gritty, atmospheric production from long-time collaborator Danny Duke, the track is a raw confession set to a dangerously seductive beat, exploring a toxic relationship that’s both intoxicating and unrelenting.
“I wanted to capture that feeling of knowing something is breaking you, but not being able to pull away,” SOMA says. “It’s not just about love, it’s about the parts of ourselves we protect, and what happens when we stop hiding.”
Blending razor-sharp poetry with infectious hooks, SOMA transforms pain into power, spinning vulnerability into weaponry. RAW doesn’t just hit hard, it lingers, echoing the duality of desire and destruction, self-love and sabotage.
With RAW, SOMA continues to cement her place as one of the most compelling voices in Australia’s alternative hip-hop landscape; unapologetic, unfiltered, and completely in her lane.
Following the success of her Cobra mixtape, which was hailed for its cinematic scope and unflinching storytelling, RAW signals the next chapter in SOMA’s evolution: fearless, emotionally charged, and sonically distinct.
Raw is released today.
