OURAA's Dark R&B Single 'BEDBUGZ' Previews Blood Orange EP

London-born and raised R&B singer-songwriter OURAA is captivating audiences with her latest dark R&B single, 'BEDBUGZ'. The track is a tantalizing preview of her upcoming EP, 'Blood Orange,' set for release in Spring 2024.

'BEDBUGZ,' produced by London-based artist and producer TEE, is a shining example of OURAA's prowess as a storyteller. Her music draws inspiration from celebrated lyricists and artists like Robert Glasper, PJ Morton, and Jazmine Sullivan. Through her songwriting, OURAA skillfully experiments with emotions and feelings to convey poignant stories.

With 'BEDBUGZ,' OURAA delivers a powerful message of empowerment. She reflects on the songwriting process, sharing, "In life, I realized with time that not everyone is who they say they are and not everyone has your best intentions at heart." The song's core message encourages listeners not to let the "BEDBUGZ," representing negative energies, hinder their potential. These "BEDBUGZ" could be external influences or even the self-doubt that creeps into one's mind, discouraging them from reaching their full potential.

Beyond 'BEDBUGZ,' OURAA is gearing up for the release of her highly anticipated EP, 'Blood Orange.' This deeply personal project delves into themes related to mental health, navigating friendships, and coping with the challenges of understanding others. OURAA is open about her struggles and the importance of seeking help, saying, "It's something that I've struggled with for years and have only really started to deal with recently by going to therapy and building on my relationship with Christ… I want to bring you all into what's been going on in my mind most days."

Hailing from South East London, OURAA's upbringing in a richly diverse and loving community has profoundly influenced her unique sound. Despite challenges with dyslexia and ADHD, she found solace in music lessons, where she excelled. Her journey began in a gospel choir in 2015, fueling her passion for music and vocals. In 2016, she embarked on her musical project OURAA and has continued to create captivating music. Her distinctive orange-themed branding and infectious personality are unmistakable in both her visuals and her sound.

OURAA has already earned the support of prominent figures like BBC 1Xtra's Jamz Supernova and UK star Kojey Radical. With the impending release of 'Blood Orange' in Spring 2024, fans and music enthusiasts alike should keep an eye out for what promises to be a significant and emotionally charged musical offering. OURAA's music is poised to make a lasting impact and resonate with listeners on a deeply personal level.
