Amsterdam-based artist TULA, also known as Lital van Steenbergen, emerges from a 14-year hiatus to serve audiences with her distinctive sound that fuses alternative rock and dark pop. A self-trained singer-songwriter and pianist who plays entirely from the heart without reading notes, TULA introduces “See Me,” the 12th track from her debut album, “Kintsugi.”

“See Me” is a sonic journey inspired by Japanese and Mongolian music elements, weaving a tapestry of alternative rock and dark pop influences. The song encapsulates TULA’s personal journey, mirroring the dichotomy between the image she was perceived to carry and her true, unfiltered self. Despite the initial hidden layers, the track unveils TULA’s thorns and edgy side, challenging the perception others have of her.

Released on 07/10/23 at 3:33 AM, “See Me” took on a profound significance for TULA during one of the most challenging moments of her life. In the backdrop of the Hamas attack on her friend’s kibbutz in Nahal Oz, where her best friend and her family faced a life-threatening situation, TULA felt the weight of helplessness. The lyrics of “See Me” gained new meaning as they reflected the unseen struggles of that day, serving as a mirror to the emotions and turmoil in her heart. Thankfully, her friend survived, though the scars remain.

TULA collaborates with Hungarian producer Attila Mazan, a longtime friend with roots in the metal music world. Together, they craft a message of empowerment, resonating with those who feel unseen. The synergy between TULA’s evocative storytelling and Mazan’s musical prowess promises a journey of authenticity, resilience, and self-discovery.

As TULA makes her comeback to the stage, “See Me” stands as a testament to her artistic evolution and the emotional depth embedded in her music. “Kintsugi,” the debut album, promises to be an exploration of TULA’s experiences, emotions, and the art of embracing imperfections.
