Soraya Cinema is the new pop voice you’ve been waiting for—but he prefers to remain unseen. A pivotal production figure, Soraya was drawn into Feng’s orbit through the online gaming realm, the Paris-raised artist’s portal into the wider world. Having helped steer the breakout debut album Weekend Rockstar, he has been quietly amassing a solo catalogue, deftly piecing together his individual identity.
Making his move, the new single ‘Movie’ is out now. It is aptly titled; the song places his world-building tendencies to the fore, blending raw 2k26 electronics with the perfume of French touch. You can hear aspects of contemporary hip-hop in the production, but the frailty of his voice recalls the work of London songwriter Sampha. Expect the unexpected, in other words.
Out now, ‘Movie’ arrives alongside a nocturnal video filmed in Tunisia—his second home and the second half of his heritage. A song that is as beautiful as it is affecting, ‘Movie’ depicts a very real sense of isolation: “In every club / I feel so fuckin’ lonely / Know I’m a man / But I need love / And you was really lovely…”
Tune in now.
