Faith, Fire, and Latin Pop: Liahona Olayan's Newest Single “Strum That Guitar” Is Unstoppable

Liahona Olayan defies categorization. Her music is a vibrant blend of pop, reggaeton, R&B, hip-hop, and even Christian influences. Quite a mix, don’t you think? The result is a bold, confident sound that feels entirely her own—fearless and full of fire, ready to set the world ablaze.

Beyond her genre-hopping versatility is Liahona’s authenticity and soulfulness that shine through her work. Her lyrics feel like lessons wrapped in melody, reflecting not just artistic creativity but lived experience. Central to her identity is a deep-rooted faith, which, along with her Latin heritage, gives her music a unique spiritual and cultural resonance. She recently spent 18 months in Mexico serving as a missionary, stepping away from both her music career and her family during that time. The experience proved transformative—it deepened her sense of humility and purpose and gave her a new outlook on what it means to connect with others. Fluent in Spanish after her time abroad, Liahona Olayan now weaves Latin pop more organically into her sound, with a renewed desire to serve and uplift through music.

At just 21, Liahona has already shown a gift for crafting melodies that feel both powerful and emotionally resonant. Her latest single, “Strum That Guitar,” released under Lioness Records LLC (a fitting label for an artist with her fire), is a perfect example of her evolution. The track bursts with rhythm, guided by a production that frames her voice in the best light. It’s cohesive, dynamic, and undeniably catchy—the kind of song that lingers long after it ends. Once again, she proves her ability to shift musical gears without losing her core identity, offering something that feels at once personal and widely appealing.

Co-written with Alih Jey De Peña and produced by Luigie “Lugo” Gonzalez, “Strum That Guitar” sets the stage for her upcoming album, “Just Me, Liahona.” But first, fans can look forward to her next single, “Cállate La Boca” ("Shut Your Mouth"), set to drop in August.

With new releases on the horizon and a clear artistic vision, Liahona Olayan is entering a thrilling chapter.
