Lucille Slade Shares The Story Behind Naming Her Project ‘Resurfaced’

Lucille Slade has quietly carved out a name for herself as one of South Africa’s soulful voices, known for her heartfelt delivery and the kind of music that lingers long after it plays. Born and raised in Kimberley, she has steadily built a career marked by intention and a dedication to her craft, allowing her artistry to speak for itself. Over the years, her music has connected deeply with listeners who appreciate authenticity, emotion and the care she invests in every track. This Friday, Lucille is set to release her latest project titled Resurfaced.

Taking to Instagram, Lucille Slade opened up about the personal journey that led to the project’s name. She explained, “I think it’s important to maybe walk you through the journey of why this project is called resurfaced, putting the people to understand how much work it takes to actually take to make music and it’s not a simple case of just drop especially if you love the music…for the past 2 to 3 years I’ve been in making so much music that I had to be clear about what music I actually wanted to put out going forward and why.” She added, “And to come back up to resurface just like a diamond does…giving you some songs you’ve heard before in a completely different light and then giving you new music you haven’t heard before…being uncomfortable with being seen again and being comfortable with what I have to give to the world and also knowing that what I’m about to give you’ll love.”

The words reveal an artist who has been working quietly, carefully shaping a collection of music that balances familiarity and innovation. Resurfaced is more than a title but it is a statement of return and renewal.

Fans can expect to hear tracks they know in a fresh interpretation alongside entirely new creations, reflecting her growth and the thoughtfulness behind every decision in this EP.

Set to drop this Friday, her EP Resurfaced offers listeners a glimpse into Lucille Slade’s world as she reconnects with her audience, sharing both her journey and her artistry in one cohesive release. It is a celebration of persistence, patience and the courage to return fully present after a period of introspection and creation. For anyone who has followed her career, this project promises an authentic and soulful experience that embodies the heart of Lucille Slade’s music.
