LolaYoung

Lola Young is a London-based artist currently rising fast to stardom after her album This Wasn’t Meant For You Anyway and its massive hit Messy released last summer. The surge in Young’s popularity has reached a whole new level, as for example in Finnish Spotify her tracks were listened to more than 700k times during just one month. In Britain the 24-year old singer has been described as a voice of her generation, who is fearless, uncompromising, unpredictable, and entirely herself. Her music is a unique mixture of pop, indie rock and hiphop, with simultaneous echoes from Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Florence and the Machine, and Radiohead as well as Eminem.

Young’s single Don’t Hate Me went viral on TikTok in 2023, with US celebrities such as Kylie Jenner, Bella Hadid, and Madonna releasing lip-sync videos using the song. The first US tour of Young sold out quickly in spring 2024, and last autumn she featured vocals for Tyler, The Creator’s hit Like Him. On stage Young is a charismatic singer performing her catchy melodies and honest, emotive and funny lyrics, and often chatting between songs.
