Toronto artist Ekelle returns with ‘(Turn Me) Loose’, an emotionally charged breakup anthem that trades heartbreak for self-worth and late-night release.
Marking her first single of the year, the track pushes beyond the boundaries of her self-described “Hood Pop” sound, blending electronic production, dancefloor energy and sleek R&B textures into something confident, polished and cathartic. Produced by Audio Gibbs, the single pairs driving rhythms with glossy pop instincts while giving Ekelle space to move fluidly between melodic vocals and sharp-edged rap delivery.
At its core, ‘(Turn Me) Loose’ is about reclaiming power after being undervalued in a relationship. But rather than dwelling in bitterness, the song channels clarity and confidence, built around the realisation that walking away can sometimes be the strongest move possible.
Known for combining themes of identity, sensuality, ambition and resilience, Ekelle continues refining a sound that feels both commercially sharp and deeply personal. ‘(Turn Me) Loose’ expands that vision further, introducing a more electronic edge without losing the emotional honesty that defines her songwriting.
