Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Neela Releases New Song “You'll Never Know”
Toronto-based singer-songwriter Neela Khare, aka Neela released a new song “You'll Never Know” along with a music video on March 23, 2023.
The song will appear on her upcoming third EP “Exposed”.
The track revolves around the trauma of domestic violence, and the liberation that comes from healing.
She wrote the song during quarantine, working alongside Akeel Henry and Kevin Ekofo on the production.
The accompanying video was directed by Purusha Anokhei and Neela Khare, who filmed in India.
The clip draws from an Indian goddess named Kali.
Neela said of the song, “I wanted to transform this hurt and turn it into music. I realized when writing that, even if the other person will never know the harm they've caused, it is my job to do the healing and grow stronger for myself.”- She continued, “These lyrics explore raw feelings of resentment, resilience, and finally moving into acceptance. Violence against women is prevalent and heart wrenching, I have witnessed and felt this in my personal life and globally. 4.7 million women report sexual assault at least once in their lifetime. 1 in 3 women have reported physical violence by an intimate partner. This song is an embrace to my younger self and a reassurance to anyone who resonates that you are not alone. I've taken back my power as a queer woman of colour and an artist.”
