Yasmina Cherelle Finds Strength and Freedom on New Single “Liberate Me”

Irish singer, songwriter and actress Yasmina Cherelle is an artist whose music blends soulful pop with emotional storytelling. Splitting her time between London, Los Angeles and Dublin, she brings together her background in music, dance and acting to create songs that celebrate individuality, empowerment and emotional honesty. Yasmina began performing and composing by ear as a child and later caught the attention of the late talent agent Julian Benson, who became her first mentor. Since then, she has steadily built her career through persistence and live performance, developing a sound shaped by her love of powerful, soulful songs with meaning and depth. Her talents were further recognised through a guitar scholarship and winning a talent contest singing ‘Summertime’.

Her new single “Liberate Me” captures this ethos perfectly. Written during a difficult personal period, the track explores healing, intuition and the moment of rediscovering your own strength after uncertainty or hurt. “The story is about going through the healing process, trusting your intuition and regaining confidence,” Yasmina explains. “It’s about reaching a place where you feel liberated.” Inspired by the symbolism of the moon, the song reflects the feeling of returning to your own power and stepping into a new chapter with clarity and confidence.

Produced by Wayne Wilkins, known for global hits including Beyoncé’s “Sweet Dreams” and Cheryl’s “Fight For This Love,” “Liberate Me” pairs Yasmina’s soulful vocal delivery with an uplifting, emotionally resonant sound. Balancing playful melodies with an energising rhythm, the track carries both a healing quality and a sense of celebration. “I wanted to create something uplifting, fun and motivating,” she says. “A song that could help people reconnect with themselves and feel inspired.” The accompanying music video expands on the song’s themes through expressive choreography, with dance created by both Yasmina and Pussycat Dolls star Kimberly Wyatt, and additional choreography by Sharon June.

Yasmina has lit up stages including Shepherd’s Bush Empire, Wembley Arena and 100 Wardour Street, and recently supported Irish singer-songwriter Paddy Casey at Whelan’s in Dublin, with plans to collaborate again later this year. Her career has also seen her collaborate with artists and creatives including Renée Zellweger, Drake and Stereophonics, and she has played the lead role in a production of Fame. After years of building her career independently, balancing multiple jobs and gradually growing her profile through residencies and collaborations, Yasmina is now entering a new chapter. She recently headlined London’s The Bedford with her seven-piece band, and is set to perform in Los Angeles this autumn at Black Rabbit Rose.

She is also passionate about using her platform to support social justice, human rights, and initiatives that uplift underrepresented and vulnerable communities.

At the heart of Yasmina’s music is a simple message. “I want people to feel seen, heard and inspired,” she says. “My music is about trusting yourself, expressing who you are and believing in your own ability to achieve great things.”
