It’s no secret that love can feel like a relief or a suffocation depending on the partner, and Luisa Wilson navigates that fragile boundary in her new single, “Love & Oxygen.” The Memphis-born, New York-based singer-songwriter once again demonstrates why she’s become one of the most promising voices in contemporary pop-jazz.

With her introspective lyrical style and performance laced with vulnerability, Luisa dares to transform heartbreak into a musical experience that exudes hope and pain at the same time.

In “Love & Oxygen,” Luisa addresses the devastating experience of loving someone who doesn’t love you back, allowing the song to navigate destructive longing and silent hope through a delicate and sensitive ballad. Every element of the song accompanies this narrative: a piano that brings warmth and brightness, as well as an electric guitar that introduces harshness.

Meanwhile, the lyrics reinforce this intimate portrait, expressing the tension between wanting to let go and being unable to. Luisa plays with the metaphor of breathing to reflect the duality of a love that should give life but instead becomes the cause of suffocation.

Luisa’s vocal performance is the song’s most impactful point. Her voice feels charged with emotion as it unfolds over a carpet of ​​harmonies that evolve naturally and over choruses that generate a nostalgic atmosphere that evokes the possibility of a love that never materialized. Lines like “I’ve waited by the phone / But I think it might be time to go to bed” leave us all heartbroken, perhaps because we’ve also been waiting for that call that never came.

Singer, guitarist, pianist, and songwriter, Luisa has built her identity around extreme self-awareness and pessimistic romanticism. Her style combines the best of soul and R&B with luminous melodies and ethereal arrangements, reminiscent of artists like Olivia Dean, Eloise, Billie Eilish, and RAYE. However, her signature lies in the confessional nature of her music: a kind of diary turned song.

With over a million streams in her career and a role in the upcoming film Saturdays (due out Summer 2026), Luisa Wilson consolidates her talent and authenticity with “Love & Oxygen.”
