Multi-SAMA-nominated South African star Rowlene returns with a powerful new single, Breakaway, a deeply personal and emotionally charged anthem about self-discovery and letting go. “This song is about breaking free from situations that no longer serve you,” says Rowlene. “It’s that defining moment where you realize your worth and choose yourself. Breakaway is an anthem for anyone who has struggled with letting go but knows it’s necessary for their growth.”
Originally hailing from Cape Town, Rowlene first gained widespread recognition through her collaboration with Nasty C on SMA and has since established herself as a dynamic force in the music industry. Her emotive 2020 album, 11:11, earned the singer her first South African Music Awards nomination in the Best Pop Album category the following year. Rowlene entered living rooms across the world when her tracks Cupid, Stay, and I Need You (with Nasty C) were all featured on the soundtrack to Netflix’s 2020 original South African series Blood & Water. Recently signed to ONErpm, this new project marks another defining chapter in Rowlene’s career, reinforcing her reputation as one of the most compelling voices in contemporary R&B. Breakaway is the first single off her highly-anticipated upcoming EP.
Written during a period of deep reflection, Breakaway encapsulates the bittersweet realization that some ties are meant to be severed in order to grow. The song’s stirring melodies and evocative storytelling paint a vivid picture of love lost and the strength found in moving forward. Produced with a compelling mix of R&B and pop influences, the track highlights Rowlene’s versatility and ability to connect with listeners on an intimate level.
