Peg Luke ‘s new single, “Breathing In, Breathing Out,” promises to shake the foundation of today’s musical and societal landscape. The artist describes it as a “Love Protest Song,” an anthem that speaks to the urgency of our turbulent times while advocating peace, unity, and justice.

Born out of Luke’s time in St. Augustine, Florida, the track draws inspiration from the chaos and violence of a riot, yet channels that energy into a powerful call for compassion. “I wanted to create something that could express the magnitude of the moment we’re living through,” Luke explains. “The song itself amplifies that urgency.” This isn’t just music; it’s a statement, a collective cry for love amid the noise of conflict.

Collaborating with producer Steve Avedis and orchestrator Tom Capek, Luke crafted a song that isn’t just heard but felt. The track pulses with urgency and delivers a message that resonates on a deeper level. Luke’s husband adds his voice to the mix, harmonizing with her own to underline the song’s central theme: we are all in this together, and change starts with each breath of love and peace.

Luke’s musical journey has always been about combining the classical with the contemporary, and “Breathing In Breathing Out” is no different. Her previous single, “God on a Bumpersticker,” which explored themes of faith and reflection, earned widespread praise for its nostalgic ’80s flair. But with this new track, Luke pushes even further, using her platform to speak on the personal and the political, delivering a message that goes beyond music and into the heart of being human.

With the release of “Breathing In Breathing Out,” Peg Luke once again proves she’s an artist with a mission.
