Singer-songwriter KHEVNA has teamed up with Loye to release a remix to her groundbreaking Afro-pop debut “Lonely,” a genre-blending track that weaves emotive vulnerability with irresistible rhythm. Written during an intimate songwriting camp, the track explores the aching honesty of love on the edge — where passion and distance meet.
Switching seamlessly between Hindi and English, “Lonely” fuses Afro-inspired grooves with soulful melodies, offering a fresh and globally rooted sound. Khevna’s smooth, expressive vocals reflect both strength and softness, resonating deeply with listeners navigating love, longing, and emotional duality.
“‘Lonely’ was born out of a chaotic songwriting camp — the kind where ideas fly fast and emotions run high,” says Khevna. “Between the noise and the late-night jams, this song just found me. Weaving Hindi into an Afro-pop rhythm felt instinctive — like a bridge between who I am and the sound I wanted to explore.”
With her roots in India and her creative base in Lagos, Khevna bridges continents and cultures. Her sonic influences span R&B, soul, and Afrobeat, resulting in a track that is personal yet danceable — emotional yet vibrant.
