***SOMA*** **PEELS BACK THE LAYERS OF LOVE, OBSESSION AND INNER CHAOS ONFIERCE NEW SINGLE ****[RAW](https://onthemappr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=866374f77c3243c8b4c6c2e65&id=8302d8c9f8&e=220f1bd8bb)**

After turning heads and earning critical acclaim with her **debut mixtape *****Cobra*** earlier this year, breakout alternate hip-hop artist **SOMA** returns with her boldest release yet: [RAW](https://onthemappr.us14.list-manage.com/track/click?u=866374f77c3243c8b4c6c2e65&id=f9720df064&e=220f1bd8bb)  
 – a hypnotic, beat-heavy deep dive into the brutal honesty of heartbreak, obsession, and emotional survival.

Released today, *RAW* explodes with the lyrical intensity and rhythmic edge that’s becoming SOMA’s signature. Backed by gritty, atmospheric production from long-time collaborator **Danny Duke**, the track is a raw confession set to a dangerously seductive beat, exploring a toxic relationship that’s both intoxicating and unrelenting.

*“I wanted to capture that feeling of knowing something is breaking you, but not being able to pull away,”* SOMA says. *“It’s not just about love, it’s about the parts of ourselves we protect, and what happens when we stop hiding.”*

Blending razor-sharp poetry with infectious hooks, SOMA transforms pain into power, spinning vulnerability into weaponry. *RAW* doesn’t just hit hard, it lingers, echoing the duality of desire and destruction, self-love and sabotage.

With *RAW*, SOMA continues to cement her place as one of the most compelling voices in Australia’s alternative hip-hop landscape; unapologetic, unfiltered, and completely in her lane.

Following the success of her *Cobra* mixtape, which was hailed for its cinematic scope and unflinching storytelling, *RAW* signals the next chapter in SOMA’s evolution: fearless, emotionally charged, and sonically distinct.  
  
Raw is released today.
