Latanya Alberto – The Royal Escape EP
Latanya Alberto’s The Royal Escape invites listeners on a personal journey of self-reflection, encouraging them to reevaluate their roots—whether that is their cultural heritage or the places they consider sacred. The EP underscores the power of identity, advocating for a disconnection from what nurtured us in order to embrace a more authentic self, laying the groundwork for honest love.
An Amsterdam-based singer and songwriter, Latanya’s musical path began at a young age, and by 19, she had already embarked on her career as an independent artist. Her unique sound blends soulful melodies with poetic lyrics, heavily inspired by a fusion of genres. In 2021, she made a statement on the global stage with a standout live performance at Eurosonic-Noorderslag, setting the stage for the release of The Royal Escape and a series of live performances.
Latanya’s music is a blend of personal introspection and social commentary. Deeply inspired by societal events, her work tackles issues like social injustice, feminism and cultural identity. She also delves into more intimate themes of romance, spirituality, and personal emotion. No matter the subject, her lyrics are deeply poetic, offering messages that aim, in her words, “to deliver the story that needs to be heard, the consciousness that needs to be awakened, and the emotion that needs to be freed.”
Beyond music, Latanya is a creative force who incorporates stunning visuals into her artistic expression. Through artistic photography, visual movement, and evocative music videos, she creates a full sensory experience that complements her music and reflects her creative identity.
