Iona Luke returns today with a new single, called ‘From Dust’, which also marks the final release from her debut EP of the same name.

With its existentially driven lyrics, the track not only serves as the EP’s closing statement but also encourages us to think about how we fit into this world.

“From Dust’ is the title track and finale of the EP. The song explores our relationship with the world around us, and how life can feel both overwhelming and unsatisfying at the same time. It captures the wonder and fear of being truly seen by another person beyond the dust we are all made of, while reflecting on the human tendency to rewrite, inherit, and interpret our own identities, histories, and flaws. It’s all dust and dirt, material and imaginary, a parade of who we are and who we try to be.”

In recent months, Luke has picked up praise from outlets like Radio 1, 6Music, and Radio X. Iona headlines London’s Paper Dress Vintage with Berenice on the 8th September – get your tickets here.

We are so excited to see UK musician Iona Luke return this week with a new single. It’s safe to say that we’ve been enjoying this artist’s work for a good few months now, and her new single is just what we hoped it would be.

‘Can We Still Hang Out?’ is a melancholic song that reminds us of 90s indie rock. It’s nostalgic and classic in its style of sound but still feels fresh and relevant in 2026.

Aside from the fantastic production, Iona’s powerful vocals deliver the lyrics in a heartfelt way that instantly hooks the listener. There’s no doubt that this is an artist to keep on your radar.

Iona Luke – Existential

Rising UK starlet Iona Luke is back today with a bold new single called ‘Existential’.

This track makes an instant impact from the start. The production fuses alternative rock with indie-pop, resulting in a sound that is intense, raw and dramatic. Lyrically, the song’s introspective lyrics speak of personal identity and doubting yourself when you’re an artist.

“In a madly oversaturated music space, figuring out where you stand and what you have to say is scary stuff. When I had to decide whether I’d be ‘Iona’ or ‘Iona Luke,’ I repeated my name in my head too many times and had the mini existential collapse we all get when a word suddenly looks a bit funny.”

“This song is about identity, overthinking, and wondering if what you do actually matters. It was almost impossible to write… snapped a lot of pencils.”

Iona was carving a career as a musician while also studying English Literature at Cambridge University. She’s gained attention from icons like Lana Del Rey and has amassed over two million career streams to date.
