“Strum That Guitar” is the new single by Liahona Olayan, a vibrant pop track with Latin soul that serves as a declaration of identity, rhythm, and rebirth. The song pulses with the energy of someone who’s not only found her sound but also her reason for singing.
Fresh off a transformative chapter in Mexico, where she served a mission and embraced a new language and culture, Liahona brings that experience to life in this new era. “Now that I can speak Spanish fluently, I have been able to incorporate Latin pop into my music,” she shares.
That’s exactly what she does in “Strum That Guitar,” a song co-written with Alih Jey De Peña that effortlessly fuses reggaeton beats with a spiritual undertone and a magnetic pop structure.
Produced by Grammy-nominated Luigie "Lugo" Gonzalez in Los Angeles, the track wastes no time. It kicks off with a groove that grabs you by the waist and dares you not to dance. The guitar becomes the heartbeat of the track, an engine of joy and momentum that powers Liahona’s vibrant voice.
At just 21, Liahona’s already lived several lives in music. From her standout moment on American Idol with her brother Ammon—earning praise from Katy Perry and Lionel Richie—to the woman she is now, her evolution is undeniable. “Strum That Guitar” is proof that she’s carving her own path.
With a debut album, “Just Me, Liahona,” on the way and upcoming singles like “Cállate La Boca” set to drop soon, the young singer-songwriter is moving full speed ahead. The album promises 12 genre-bending tracks that push the boundaries of Latin pop and showcase her talent in both English and Spanish.
With “Strum That Guitar,” Liahona Olayan shows us what it looks like when pop is personal, rhythms have roots, and the message is just as powerful as the melody.
