Nur – Let Me Go [Single + Video]

Nur’s “Let Me Go” is one of those Afro-Pop, Amapiano tracks that grabs hold of you and doesn’t let go. If you’re into those global beats and lyrics that hit home, you’ll probably flip for this one. Although it’s labeled R&B, the music is so much more layered, with a blend of soulful vibes and Afrobeat rhythms.

The track paints a vivid picture of personal emancipation from a relationship that’s long past its expiration date. Nur doesn’t just sing about cutting ties; she fully embodies it. Her vocals in “Let me go / I’m just tryna move on” are melodically rich, bringing an emotional complexity that elevates it far beyond your standard breakup song. It’s got the groove and lyrical punch that will speak to anyone looking to shed the weight of past heartache.

Visually, the video directed by ONEAL is lush, flipping between cityscapes and serene natural landscapes. Nur dances through the scenes with a model-like confidence that brings a stylish flair to the whole thing. The track’s production by Jammin weaves together electronic beats and Afro-dance, crafting a texture that’s much richer than your typical pop hit.

Sure, Nur might sometimes stick too close to the genre’s norms, but the lush tapestry of sounds and her heartfelt delivery in “Let Me Go” more than make up for that. As she matures artistically, she’s bound to rough up the edges a bit more. For now, let yourself be swept up in the rhythm and emotion of “Let Me Go.”
