Pop powerhouse LU KALA, known for her fierce, empowering catchy pop anthems, has just dropped another gem. ‘Cry Baby’ is out now on LVK/Amigo Records.

Lighthearted and coy, ‘Cry Baby’ is LU’s farewell to an (ironically) teary-eyed ex. This catchy pop lullaby is an ode to the moment we release the baggage and pain inflicted by a deceitful partner. It’s always fun and games until the tables turn, right? Look who’s crying now. The fiery voiced Congolese-Canadian songstress–with signature vibrant orange hair to match–is redefining what a pop star sounds and looks like.

“I feel like a lot of times when break ups happen, women often process it before the actual break up, whereas men will be like ‘I don’t want you anymore’ and then months later they come back crying after they did you wrong,” says LU.
