South London singer-songwriter Lola Young announces her brand new album, This Wasn’t Meant For You Anyway, set for release on June 21. Lola shares her latest single, ‘Messy’, to celebrate her upcoming record.
Depicting a tumultuous relationship, ‘Messy’ boasts an abundance of witty one-liners perfectly served by Lola. Already gaining popularity amongst Lola’s fans on socials, the new single showcases a fresh attitude and an alternative-leaning sound explored throughout Lola’s upcoming album, which follows her 2023 project, My Mind Wanders and Sometimes Leaves Completely.
This Wasn’t Meant For You Anyway marks a remarkable shift in Lola’s sound as an artist. Recorded in LA and produced by friend and collaborator Solomonophic (Remi Wolf, BROCKHAMPTON, Dominic Fike), This Wasn’t Meant For You Anyway is a multi-faceted, fearless concept. As irresistible as it’s unexpected, Lola’s album is crackling with kinetic energy and lyrically fuelled by rage, passion, narrative flair and comedy derision.
“Here is my first born child, a fuck you to all my exes, and basically me just trying to figure out some shit openly and honestly on record. First of many and if you don’t like it, then this wasn’t meant for you anyway,” says Lola Young.
