Glacia – Who Will Save Us?
Glacia's 'Who Will Save Us?' is a compelling slice of alternative R&B from Copenhagen, a rallying cry that turns advocacy into something you can't stop listening to.
Glacia opens with a question that demands an answer. 'Who Will Save Us?' builds from sparse, aching R&B into something far bigger, layered with world music textures and a vocal that carries real weight. The production stays open, giving the message room to land, and the hook circles back with purpose. It's protest music that works because it never forgets to be a song first. The cross-continental collaboration shows: there's a warmth to the sound that feels distinctly South African, even as the arrangement stays clean and contemporary. Striking alternative R&B, urgent and beautifully realised.
Glacia is originally from South Africa and now based in Copenhagen, crafting this one from her home studio with her Johannesburg-based producer. She's an artist who uses her platform for something, and 'Who Will Save Us?' is the first single from an upcoming EP focused on gender-based violence awareness, with follow-up 'Biza Amagama Abo' arriving on October 23rd. Her previous album 'The Cosmic Experience' explored Nordic cinematic soundscapes, but this is a different gear entirely. We'll be watching closely for the full EP, cos this one hits hard.
