Shelita’s latest single, “You Will Want My Love” (out August 8), is a hauntingly beautiful return from an artist who has made reinvention her trademark. Known for bending genres and fusing technology with raw emotion, the pop shapeshifter has crafted her most transportive piece yet. Rooted in pop but expanded by global textures and atmospheric soundscapes, the track feels less like a conventional single and more like an ocean current—steady, powerful, and pulling the listener into its depths. It marks the beginning of her new album cycle, “Into The Depths,” which draws directly from her journey of recovery and transformation.
The song’s origin story is as compelling as the music itself. A near-fatal skydiving accident in Seychelles left Shelita hospitalised and facing multiple surgeries. Her path back wasn’t linear—it began underwater, through freediving, where she relearned how to trust her body and breath. That quiet resilience and rediscovery pulse through “You Will Want My Love”. There’s a stillness in the production, co-crafted with Bellringer and William Henshall (of Londonbeat), that mirrors the silence beneath the waves. Every note feels intentional, like a heartbeat steadying itself after trauma, while the vocal delivery balances fragility with undeniable strength.
Lyrically, the track is a reclamation. At its core, “You Will Want My Love” is a statement and a promise: a declaration of self-worth after survival, as though Shelita is reminding both herself and the world that her voice, her presence, and her love are unshakable. It’s vulnerable without being pleading; assertive without being hardened. This duality gives the song its depth—it’s not about chasing validation but about embodying the kind of love that cannot be ignored. Like the ocean she turned to in her recovery, the lyrics ebb and flow with quiet insistence, pulling the listener into their undertow.
Musically, the single is mesmerising. The arrangement swells like waves, blending subtle electronic layers with organic textures that shimmer in the background. Shelita’s voice is the anchor—clear, emotive, and slightly ethereal, as though carrying saltwater in its breath. It’s a sound that recalls the stillness of night by the ocean’s edge: calm on the surface, yet charged with immense force beneath. The production avoids unnecessary clutter, allowing each sound to ripple outward, creating a listening experience that feels both intimate and expansive.
With “You Will Want My Love”, Shelita is opening the door to a new chapter of artistry rooted in survival, reflection, and rebirth. If this track is the first glimpse of “Into The Depths“, then the album promises to be not only her most personal work but also her most powerful. She has turned a near-tragedy into a sonic meditation on love, resilience, and transformation. Vulnerable yet commanding, Shelita proves once again that her lane in pop is unique and vital.
