Ladi6 returns with Le Vā – her long-awaited new album and most personal project to date. Years in the making, Le Vā represents a creative reinvention and a recalibration of the signature wavey electronic soul sound she’s known for. It also marks a profound chapter of personal growth and healing.

At its heart, Le Vā is a dedication to Ladi6’s beloved mother, Fuarosa, who passed in 2020. Her memory and spirit are woven through every note and lyric – the album standing as a tribute to her life, her influence, and the space her absence has created. "Le Vā explores that sacred space between us – the seen and unseen, what we carry and what we release,” says Ladi6. “This project is both a farewell and a becoming.”

The Le Vā Album Tour is a live manifestation of that journey. Audiences will be invited into a powerful and intimate experience, where new songs are held alongside reimagined favourites from the Ladi6 catalogue. The theme of this tour is gratitude – a deep and enduring thank you to the community of supporters who have held space for Ladi6 and the crew across decades of music and movement.

With a show carefully crafted to honour both legacy and new beginnings, Ladi6 welcomes fans to witness and celebrate the next phase of her ever-evolving artistry.
