Steeped in R&B nostalgia, Love's Letter is a timeless 10-track project that explores what it would mean for love to send you a letter for every phase of life. Collaborating with producers from both sides of the Atlantic, the record combines Shaé’s once-in-a-lifetime raw vocal talent with sultry guitar melodies, old-school-flows and modern gritty bounces.
Speaking on the inspiration behind her new song, Shaé shares, “‘What’s Luv?’ is for anyone who’s ever lost themselves in love. People who love hard and passionately can often forget that ultimately, no one can pour into them more than themselves. I wrote this song as a reminder of that. Love people, love life, love love but also ensure you love yourself enough.”
"What’s Luv?" is joined on the project by ethereal 00’s R&B cut "LOML", which sits alongside the empowering "Passenger Princess" that arrived with a video featuring frequent collaborator Kojey Radical and drew heat from the likes of NME, Vibe, Wonderland, COLORS, GUAP, Complex UK, TRENCH and DJ Mag. Last year, Shaé made her much-anticipated COLORS debut with the radiant project cut "Summertime". Covering romantic love, self-love, lack of love and the role of love in spirituality, Love’s Letter is a transformative project crafted to help listeners process their pain.
