AYSHA LOREN EXPLORES EMOTIONAL BOUNDARIES ON ‘FORBIDDEN LOVE’
Aysha Loren returns with Forbidden Love (Sweet Taboo), a striking single that captures love’s pull when it crosses unseen lines. The London-born singer-songwriter blends soulful reggae and R&B sensuality to create something lush and cinematic. It feels honest, human and full of tension.
Written in Jamaica before lockdown and produced with her husband Adrian McKenzie, the song layers live instruments, deep bass and Aysha’s rich tone. “It’s inspired by real stories that explore the space between what feels right and what we know is wrong,” she explains. That raw emotion shapes every note.
Aysha first turned heads with Keep It Like It Is, featured on VP Records’ Strictly the Best Vol. 50. Her debut album My Wishing Well followed, debuting to a sold-out crowd at London’s Jazz Café. Since then, tracks like Your Love and When I Speak have shown her growing depth and control, balancing feeling and finesse.
LOREN BUILDS A SOUND THAT FEELS TIMELESS YET GROUNDED IN THE PRESENT
With Forbidden Love, Aysha pushes her artistry to new heights. Her voice shifts between strength and softness, while the production creates a world that is both intimate and cinematic. The song is already gaining early radio play and marks the start of her upcoming 2026 album. A neo soul remix will drop in November, expanding her sound once again.
Aysha Loren’s music continues to bridge soulful reggae and R&B storytelling, reminding listeners why her voice is one of the UK’s most captivating.
