Question everything. Still Independent.

Question everything. Still Independent.

There’s no shortage of hazy R&B floating around London at the moment. The past few years have seen an explosion in talent as a dreamy new sound has emerged from the depths of the capital. Despite this explosion, there are few talents like Lola.

Though she only has a pair of singles to her name so far, the singer has attracted a following thanks to her heavenly vocals and penchant for jazz-inspired, richly textured instrumentals. The granddaughter of legendary British jazz drummer Jack Parnell, the singer comes from a musical background and grew up obsessing over the funk of her grandfather’s record collection.

Her new single Care is neither funk nor jazz however. Instead Lola offers a luscious slice of contemporary R&B, inspired by the singer “envisioning a life beyond expectations and pressures, beyond life or death, and seeing whether what we prioritise is really important.”
