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.

Sharing the story behind ‘Nothing But Love’, LU KALA expresses; “I wrote ‘Nothing but love’ on zoom with a friend from my bedroom in the middle of the pandemic. The world had stopped and it was the very first time I sat with my feelings and processed the hurt I had never healed from. Moving on after a breakup is hard especially when you still have love for that person. At least if I hated him, I could completely delete him out of my life and heart. But maturing for me was realizing that even though things didn’t work out and though I believed him when he said he wanted this for the long haul it’s still pure that at 1 point there was love and so I don’t wish him the worst but instead, I still have nothing but love for him. Nothing But Love is the most vulnerable song I’ve ever written. So much so that It took me 2 years to heal & finish writing it. I hope this song helps heal those in need. I’m okay singing it for the rest of my life if that means it provides love and healing to the heartbroken souls that are in need of nothing but love.”
