Loren Heat Strikes Gold with ‘Belladonna’

Pop music has a new provocateur. With “Belladonna,” rising UK pop powerhouse Loren Heat takes a strut through the shadows — delivering a sharp, seductive anthem that doesn’t ask for permission. It commands attention.

Released via Interval Records (EMI North/Generator), “Belladonna” arrives in the wake of breakout performances at The Great Escape and BBC Introducing’s Glasshouse showcase. Heat — already catching ears across the UK — isn’t just building momentum; they’re redefining what bold, queer British pop looks and sounds like in 2025.

Sonically, the track is pure fire: a synth-laced, high-gloss production from Chad Rodgers that draws on the drama of Lady Gaga, the groove of Dua Lipa, and the bite of Billie Eilish. But make no mistake — this is Loren Heat’s world. Equal parts allure and danger, “Belladonna” captures the moment when obsession turns electric. When danger is the aphrodisiac.

“It’s that person who’s poison in a smile,” Heat says. “You haven’t even spoken to them yet, but you’re already hooked.” That magnetic pull is all over the track — in its sleek build, its killer chorus, and its fearless energy.

Following the buzz of previous single “2009” and debut EP Scarlet Haze, Belladonna cements Loren Heat as a vital new voice in UK pop — one that’s unafraid to pair lust with vulnerability, glamour with grit.

If Scarlet Haze showed us the heartbreak, Belladonna is here to show us the danger — and the desire.
