With her new single 'Walking Through Walls', AUNCE proves once again that she isn’t interested in colouring inside the lines. The Birmingham-born, London-based producer and vocalist leans into sound as if it were clay, sculpting something tactile yet dreamlike, a piece of music that feels like a state of being.

What makes 'Walking Through Walls' so striking is its sense of suspension. The track floats between urgency and stillness, its pulse shaped by spectral synths and vocals that whisper and shimmer rather than demand attention. The lyrics, “I’m walking through walls / I’m distracted by the light inside”, capture the feeling of drifting into a half-awake headspace, where imagination starts to blur with reality. It’s a song that dissolves the sharp edges of logic, offering instead a liminal zone where intuition takes the wheel.

AUNCE has always thrived on tension, grounded in flesh-and-blood rhythm yet reaching for something untouchable. Here, she channels that duality with precision. There’s an intimacy in her delivery that makes the track feel like a private ritual, yet its architecture opens outward to something spacious and infinite. It’s both a meditation and a confrontation with the frantic noise of modern life, daring listeners to tune into the quieter, hidden currents that often go unheard.

If her earlier singles suggested an artist unafraid to challenge convention, 'Walking Through Walls' feels like a breakthrough, proof that AUNCE is reimagining what electronic pop can be when it prioritises imagination over industry. It’s music made for headphones, stillness, and that fleeting moment where time seems to dissolve.
