About

South London singer who combines confessional songwriting with electronic ambience

South London singer-songwriter Lola Young harmonises hook-laden tales of vulnerability over ambient electronic beats. She started writing music when she was 11, and by the age of 13 had already won a national open mic competition. With music being her passion, she went on to attend The BRIT School (Amy Winehouse, Rex Orange County) where she spent her time finding herself creatively and stylistically.

Young’s strong musical prowess partly comes from her dedication to finetuning her abilities as a performer and resilience in knowing what she wants with her sound. This shines through in bittersweet ‘Blind Love’, a sombre reflection of a failed relationship haunted by stripped-back vocals and airy keys. Her influences of Joni Mitchell, Prince, Frank Ocean and Anderson .Paak are all lyricists first, citing their poetism as a major inspiration when writing.

Her single ‘FAKE’ saw Young work with acclaimed producer Paul Epworth (Paul McCartney, Adele), and overtake the guitar-powered theatrics with her drama-filled lyricism, making the track perfect for a Tarantino hit.

With the follow-up to her Intro EP still in the works with Epworth, Young soundtracked the 2021 John Lewis Christmas advert with a haunting cover of Giorgio Moroder and Philip Oakey’s ‘Together In Electric Dreams’. 

In 2024, Young released her debut album This Wasn't Meant For You Anyway, recorded in LA with producer Solomonophic (Remi Wolf, BROCKHAMPTON). Single 'Messy' was named Hottest Record by BBC Radio 1's Jack Saunders. To coincide with the album, Young announced an extensive tour with UK dates set for December 2024.
