Berlin’s music scene is known for its daring, boundary-pushing artists, and LEOBLU, the solo project of multi-talented producer and artist Julia Carlsson, is no exception. With her latest single, “backlash,” LEOBLU takes listeners on a journey of raw emotion and triumphant release. This track, the second installment from her forthcoming EP Blu Lucid Nightmare further cements her status as one of the most evocative voices in the dark pop landscape.

“backlash” isn’t just a song; it’s a declaration. It’s the sound of someone reclaiming their narrative after being pushed down and suppressed by someone who was supposed to be in their corner. LEOBLU crafts this anthem with a blend of anger, freedom, and unbridled joy, creating a powerful testament to breaking free from toxic relationships.

This song comes from a place of feeling suppressed and pushed down by someone close to you, someone who claims to love you but constantly keeps you down. It’s about finally breaking free and becoming the person they always tried to keep you from becoming. You can finally see clearly, you finally become yourself, and you are free. Essentially, you have become their ultimate backlash.
