Singer and multi-hyphenate creative powerhouse KLA invites listeners into a moment of calm reflection with her new single “Peace.” The smooth, melodic R&B track captures the bittersweet beauty of choosing yourself. It carries a nostalgic energy that feels instantly familiar, anchored by lush harmonies and an effortlessly catchy hook that lingers long after the music fades.
Following the success of her previous single “In My Way,” which explored themes of empowerment and self-realization, “Peace” continues that emotional journey with a deeper sense of stillness. It is not a song of heartbreak so much as one of awakening, that quiet moment when you recognize that what you have been chasing in love is, in truth, peace itself.
Produced and co-written by Rehsa, a rising South African singer-songwriter and producer, “Peace” was born from a studio session that flowed with rare ease. “We were experimenting with beats and melodies when the song naturally took shape,” KLA reflects. “It felt simple but powerful, and we knew it captured something real.”
The song’s lyrics tell a story of clarity and courage. Over a silky groove, KLA’s vocals move between tenderness and strength as she declares, “You say you’re pushin’ P, but you ain’t been my peace.” It is a line that cuts to the heart of emotional exhaustion and the freedom found in finally putting yourself first.
For KLA, “Peace” represents more than a love story. It marks a personal milestone. “I have always been someone who overthinks everything, but this song reminded me to trust my instincts,” she shares. “Once it was recorded, I did not want to change a thing. It felt perfect as it was.”
The single builds on KLA’s growing reputation as one of South Africa’s most exciting new voices, an artist whose work bridges R&B, pop, and African influences with striking authenticity. Known for her emotional depth and magnetic presence, KLA’s creative vision continues to evolve beyond music, shaped by her journey as a model, digital creator, and storyteller with a loyal following across platforms.
At its core, “Peace” is a song for anyone who has ever walked away to protect their sanity. It is a soundtrack for rediscovery, self-acceptance, and quiet strength. “I want people to feel seen,” KLA says. “This song is about healing while you sing along.”
With a visualiser on the way, the song already playlisted on 30 radio stations and more music set for release later this year, KLA’s new chapter is one of growth, grace, and grounded artistry. “Peace” is available now on all major streaming platforms and make sure to request it from your favourite radio stations.
