Ledbyher drops new single ‘SNOW ON THE TABLE’

“Ledbyher encapsulates why the UK Ug Scene is being watched globally” – Crack

“Ledbyher cements her place as one of the most forward-thinking and fearless artists shaping the next wave of experimental hip-hop.” – Dance Wax

“There’s a restlessness to it, in the shapeshifting synths that float like clouds above her voice, with its post-cigarette husk.” – The Independent

“… one of UK underground rap’s most exciting risers” – Wonderland

“… a tension between fragility and grit” – The Line of Best Fit

Following her generational mixtape The Elephant and sold-out UK headline tour, Ledbyher disrupts and shapeshifts with new single ‘SNOW ON THE TABLE’. An atlas of nu-wave jerk, alt-R&B and self-coined “lady trap”, her sound captures a vulnerability emboldened by hard-earned grit.

Built on a Craig David sample that echoes like a hazy memory from the night before, ‘SNOW ON THE TABLE’ captures the loneliness that success is cut with. Over a beat tangled with guitar strings, Ledbyher sings, “I may never / Ever have a lover”, before chasing the pain with a rapper’s bravado: “But imma be / One rich motherfucker”. It captures the dislocating anxiety of a life changed by exposure.

The new track follows ‘Dirty Rumours’ produced by the era-defining Clams Casino, Tony Seltzer and Otxhello. It arrived with a video which follows a dark dream logic: masked figures claw at her in a cavernous house with blinking lights.

Speaking on ‘SNOW ON THE TABLE’, Ledbyher shares: “‘Snow On The Table exists’ in a lot of snowy worlds for me. I wanted it to feel like a song you can cry in the club to but also start the party with. I feel like Craig always seemed to travel that line really well. He made you feel things without being so explicit about the emotion, so I tried to honour him too in this! Visually, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe from The Chronicles of Narnia was what I went for, created my own snow table and dressed up like the White Witch because … who else?”

Ledbyher is led by no one. The Scottish-Indonesian rapper, producer, singer-songwriter, poet and video director is a prominent female voice cutting through a male-dominated scene – and entirely self-taught. 22-year-old Rachel Diack’s rise is accelerated beyond her years but propelled by her talents. The Elephant, dropped earlier this year to rapturous praise, is a defining release in the UK Ug scene with collaborations from 5EB and Biig Piig. It captures a simmering rage unique to the female experience, and the teeth-gritted instinct for survival which drove her to fight for her seat at the table. Here is an artist whose music lives on the margins and yet is infused with an effortless pop star aura.

Ledbyher has been front and centre of Skepta’s MAINS show, selling out shows not only in London but in NYC and LA, had been invited to walk for Yorisport during London Fashion Week and attended Gucci’s Fall 26/27 show during Milan Fashion Week. That’s without mentioning her stand-out collaborations with Sainté and SINN6R, and her invitations to open for the likes of Biig Piig and ian last year. She is an “artist’s artist” poised to become a household name for the new generation of the UK alternative scene.

The release follows on from her incendiary Boiler Room performance, an exclusive 150-cap event attended by her most devoted fans who queued for hours in the rain to get in. With surprise performances from Biig Piig, SINN6R and 5eb, fans were gifted The Elephant themed lighters, t-shirts, rolling papers and an 8-page bespoke newspaper with a QR code leading to the mixtape leak.

Ledbyher’s influences are as world-spanning as her music: Shakespeare and English Romantic poetry; Pedro Almodóvar, Kelly Reichardt and David Lynch; Slipknot and Lana Del Rey; UK drill crews Harlem Spartans and M24. These iconoclasts, and more, have inspired Ledbyher as potently as solo wild camping trips, Ted Talks lectures, YouTube Shamans and her Grandmother Sylvia. What ties these seemingly disparate spheres together is an instinct for mood, texture, tone and storytelling.

While studying Film at University of London, Ledbyher’s music began gaining traction after producing beats for her sister Anjeli. 2023’s Cunch really put her on the radar, and, in 2024, the sisters released a joint EP, Achy. Ledbyher has already dominated 2026 without breaking a sweat – and there’s so much more to come.
