"Soul Me" By Paul Lupa : A Worldwide Musical Dialogue Of Love And Emotion

Paul Lupa's latest single "Soul Me" is a breath of fresh air dancehall, soul and emotive storytelling that elegantly bridges continents and cultures. Released on April 20, 2025, the song is an outstanding collaboration of Hamburg-based producer and composer Paul Lupa and Jamaican Dancehall artist Curtisay, with a compelling vocal delivery by an unnamed female vocalist whose identity is a secret.

The track spins a rich narrative of serendipitous city encounter between two people seeking authentic connection in the urbanscape chaos. Curtisay adds his own signature and smooth voice, beautifully conveying the male lead character's vulnerability and desire. His rap is replied to by an anguished, soulfully haunting response from the female singer, whose hook "Soul me", is so indelible that it lingers long after the song has stopped playing, imbuing the song with emotional appeal and credibility.

Written initially with a Ugandan artist in consideration and initially a "Kampala Riddim," the song changed when Curtisay got involved. Inspired by the camaraderie between the authors, Lupa's addition of a female counterpoint elevates the narrative to a duet of yearning and emotional exploration on both sides.

Produced and recorded across Hamburg and Kingston, "Soul Me" feels like a truly global creation. Each element is crafted with intention and soul. Paul Lupa's meticulous instrumentation provides a rich sonic landscape that supports, but never overshadows the vocal interplay.

With its cross-cultural roots, captivating hook, and emotional storytelling, "Soul Me" promises to resonate widely and marks a compelling milestone in Paul Lupa’s evolving musical journey.
