Songs of empowerment are needed these days more than ever, but what we also need these days more than ever is a return to the pop music moods of a decade ago, when that sense of empowerment made us feel like anything was possible and we had the confidence to shake off all the bad mojo in our lives.
Teenage pop singer XOHA has skillfully combined both on her new track “Too Late,” which dropped last week (February 25). It’s an emphatic dance-pop jam about overcoming self-doubt and toxic people, all while musically throwing it back to The Fame Monster-era Lady Gaga and Family Jewels-era Marina. Get on-side with this new pop diamond and a voice that immediately sticks to the soul.
“‘Too Late’ delivers a message to all of the people struggling with relationship issues, giving them the freedom to find their inner power and level up in their lives, leaving unnecessary people behind,” says XOHA. “To all my friends out there: Internalize this electric energy and become the absolute version of yourself.”
That’s solid advice, and one that should prime the rising Los Angeles performer to some pretty exciting heights. We’re certainly eager to hear more, but in the meantime, get down with “Too Late” and embrace one of the more infectious pop bops we’ve heard so far this year.
