About Lola Young
Hometown
London, England
Born
January 4, 2001
Genre
R&B/Soul
Lola Young is an R&B-rooted, stylistically dynamic vocalist and multi-instrumentalist whose combination of smoky vocals and mature songwriting has prompted comparisons to Amy Winehouse and Adele. Although the South East London native's 2019 debut, the Intro EP, made a significant impression, she experienced her true breakout in 2021. Her atmospheric cover of "Together in Electric Dreams" soundtracked John Lewis & Partners' annual Christmas advertising campaign that year, and she was shortlisted for the 2022 BRIT Award for Rising Star, a distinction that affirmed her individuality. Her debut album, My Mind Wanders and Sometimes Leaves Completely, arrived in 2023 and was quickly followed by This Wasn't Meant for You Anyway, a 2024 release featuring the number one U.K. pop hit "Messy."
Musical InfluencesLola Young's musical influences include Amy Winehouse, Prince, Joni Mitchell and more.
