Chicago-based Afro-Pop artist Mary-Lue is turning heads with her bold new single “Burns”—a raw, poetic fusion of Afrobeats, pop, and rap that captures the emotion and energy of an artist on the rise. Born in Ghana, raised in Liberia, and now rooted in the U.S., Mary-Lue brings a unique cross-cultural sound and story to the global music scene.
Released at the end of March, “Burns” is an emotionally charged anthem that showcases Mary-Lue’s signature blend of passion, performance, and lyricism. The song explores themes of resilience and vulnerability with sonic textures that bridge West African rhythms and contemporary pop influences. Its striking music video, which debuted in May, visually complements the track’s intensity and artistic depth.
As Mary-Lue prepares for a major push in her career, “Burns” is setting the tone for a powerful year ahead. With playlist placements, sync licensing opportunities, and media features in sight, the artist is also gearing up for an African tour this October, with select North American dates to follow. An upcoming single set for August will delve deeper into her personal journey, promising more introspection, more fire, and more evolution.
