“‘Let It Burn’ is inspired by ‘Bed on Fire’ by Teddy Swims. When I saw a stripped-down acoustic version of the song, I was impressed and started working on my version right away. I was looking for a choir that could add a gospelesque atmosphere to it. With A Song For You, I luckily found the perfect fit. Also, Beau Diako added some of his magical guitar play. ‘Let It Burn’ is definitely more on the pop-oriented side of my songs, but I am super happy with the result.” – Parra for Cuva stated
“Let It Burn” is a captivating alt-pop ballad, narrating liberation from the past through its compelling chorus: “Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn on down.” With shimmery metronome-laden production and lo-fi vocals from A Song For You, the atmosphere gradually intensifies as a symphony of hand claps joins in, skillfully building anticipation and infusing a lively tone.
The pre-chorus amplifies the excitement, introducing percussive elements to create a vibrant tapestry that crescendos into the chorus. The song keeps its lively tempo through its harmonious mixing of bass, drums, vocals, and Beau Diako’s guitar backing. Ultimately, Parra For Cuva’s polished production highlights his promise as one of contemporary music’s leading creative minds.
“Let It Burn” summons further anticipation for “Mimose,” the hitmaker’s upcoming fifth studio album, available on April 19th, 2024.

“It was a pleasure to be asked again by Nicolas to contribute to his next project. He sent me an early version of the idea back in 2022 and I really loved the mood. When I first heard it, I immediately had some ideas of layered, floating guitars that could weave in and out of the track. I recorded, sent it back over and Nicolas soon came back with this amazing, huge, uplifting sounding song.” – Beau Diako stated
Parra for Cuva – known for his distinctive sound that blends analog and digital electronic music production with a diverse array of instruments – has become synonymous with the spirit of wanderlust. His newest project was produced during his recent travels and is subsequently titled after the German Mimose, a flower that blooms in Italy, where the majority of the tracks were brought to life.
