The many sides of Selah Sue collide on Persona, the Belgian star’s extraordinary third album. Perfectionist and people pleaser, mother and melancholic, self-critic and attention craver are among the personalities who seize control of different songs and fight for dominance.
13 years into a remarkable career that has seen Selah Sue sell more than a million albums, work with fans as diverse as Childish Gambino, Diplo, CeeLo Green, J Cole and Miles Davis collaborator Marcus Miller and gain the ultimate seal of approval from Prince, Persona marks a fresh start for the multi award-winning musician.
In 2016, after two albums which topped the charts across Europe, Selah took time out to have children. She made a low-key return in 2020 with the lush, largely acoustic The Bedroom EP, inspired by motherhood. Persona is her triumphant return to pop, a genre-mashing masterpiece packed with her trademark sharp humour, which captures what it’s like to live inside her head.
