Ula is back with her second solo single, “In My Eyes,” and it’s another bold step in her ever-evolving warped pop journey. Following her debut “So Kind,” which was praised by Record of the Day as “a confident and creatively assured debut from an artist with a clear vision,” Ula delivers something more intimate this time around, proving that she’s not afraid to strip things back while keeping her signature edge intact.
Written and recorded in a Viennese basement with longtime collaborator Tim Burghaus, the track came together in under two hours, yet it carries the weight and polish of something much deeper. “In My Eyes” feels like a warm, emotional embrace of vulnerability, inviting listeners into a space that’s both comforting and unsettling at once. The song is built on cascades of lush synths and delicate vocal layers, giving it a dreamy, cinematic quality, while Ula’s delivery adds raw intimacy that lingers long after the final note.
Lyrically, it’s about leaning into moments of discomfort and finding hope in vulnerability—something that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable. There’s a quiet power in its simplicity, an honesty that cuts through the production and leaves you with a lasting impression.
Ula, originally from Poland and now based in the UK, has been honing her artistry for years—as a BRIT School alum, a frontwoman of prog-pop group Tenacity, and an accomplished studio engineer and producer. With influences like St. Vincent, Allie X, and Aurora, her music fuses avant-garde pop with melodic depth and eerie undertones. “In My Eyes” is another strong sign that her upcoming debut EP will be something special.
“Ula’s ‘In My Eyes’ is a haunting yet hopeful slice of warped pop—lush, intimate, and unflinchingly vulnerable.
