Audrey Nuna, the Grammy-nominated Korean-American artist and songwriter, has released a bold new single titled 'superHuman'. This marks her first solo release in two years and showcases her unique ability to blend genres, incorporating elements of rap, pop, and R&B. The song's lyrics reflect a powerful message of redemption and validation, as Nuna belts out the line 'Hey world, hit me with whatever you got'.
In an interview, Nuna shared that 'superHuman' is a portal to a transformative period in her life. She wanted to capture the feeling of being more perceived by the world and the sense of redemption and validation that comes with it. Nuna emphasizes the importance of staying human and open, even in the face of rapid change, and believes that being more human is a superpower. This theme is further emphasized by her collaboration with Riot Games and VALORANT, as 'superHuman' serves as an official track for the 2026 VALORANT Champions Tour.
Nuna's artistic journey is marked by a desire to push creative boundaries. Her previous album, 'A Liquid Breakfast', received critical acclaim for its fresh ideas and talent. The album's track 'Damn Right' showcases her ability to integrate rap elements into her music, allowing her to convey a large amount of words and ideas concisely. Nuna's work has been praised for its originality and talent, solidifying her position as a visionary in the modern R&B scene.
One of Nuna's most notable projects is her voice role as Mira in the hit film 'KPop Demon Hunters'. The film's success has been remarkable, with over 130 million views in the first half of 2026, making it one of Netflix's most-watched films. The film's impact has led to sold-out screenings, collaborations with McDonald's, and a forthcoming Criterion Blu-ray release. A sequel has also been confirmed, with plans for a global concert tour, further solidifying the film's cultural impact.
In addition to her musical achievements, Nuna has been vocal about her experiences as a Korean American woman in the music industry. At the 2026 Billboard Women In Music event, she delivered an emotional speech, expressing her struggle to identify with the traditional boxes expected of Korean American women. Her acceptance of the Women Of The Year award is a testament to her impact and influence, as she continues to break barriers and inspire others to embrace their true selves.
