Kurdish Pop princess Bana is back with her empowering new single ‘Lil Freak’ Listen HERE.
=The sultry anthem features Bana’s distinctive fierce attitude and power vocals, whilst also delivering inspiring lyricism. Reminding listeners to step into our power, have the courage to embrace who we really are, and be anyone that we want to be, Bana delivers her fun yet introspective lyrics candidly, as she sings “What is it you want from me / I got something else in mind”. Prepare to be entranced by Bana’s brand new offering, as the earworm chorus hooks you in from the very first moment.
Firmly established as a popstar in her home region of Kurdistan, Bana’s newest English language material fuses musical elements of her roots with a maximalist pop sheen. Frontrunning the hub of surging talent from her hometown, Bana has arrived to empower, and proudly represent Kurdish women in the industry.
=Speaking on the new single, Bana said: “Writing ‘Lil Freak’ was by far the most fun I’ve had creating any song so far. It’s an upbeat, energetic party anthem, but it also challenges traditional relationship roles where men are often seen as the dominant ones. Even though the title might suggest otherwise, I’ve long been viewed as a “little innocent girl.” Through this song, I wanted to show a different side of myself, revealing that I’m no longer that girl and in the best possible way.”
She further explained: “For me, this song is a metaphorical shedding of that old image. ‘Lil Freak’ represents breaking free from societal constraints or former versions of ourselves. It’s about reclaiming power, whether in relationships or life in general. Ultimately, I believe we should embrace the freedom to be whoever we want to be, without letting anyone or anything dictate that for us.”
