LULU.

British-Nigerian afrobeat talent cleverly leverages her musical growing pains.

Voor LULU. begint alles in het leven met beat. Zo lang de 22-jarige zich kan herinneren, speelde haar vader de talking drum en schalde er Lauryn Hill en Highlife door het huis. Naar de kerk waar ze leerde zingen gaat ze niet meer, maar de bezieling is allerminst verdwenen. Het zit allemaal in de opzwepende combinatie van soul en afrobeat waarmee de Brits-Nigeriaanse zangeres nu naam maakt. En voorbij die onweerstaanbare ritmes? Daarachter schuilt een gevoelig verhalenverteller. Dear Disorientated Soul heet haar debuut-EP – en aan alle gedesoriënteerde zielen, haarzelf incluis, richt LULU. zich als ze zingt: 'I know there is beauty where pain is.'


For LULU, everything in life starts with beat. As long as the 22-year-old can remember, her father played the talking drum and Lauryn Hill and Highlife echoed through the house. She no longer goes to the church where she learned to sing, but the inspiration is far from gone. It all lies in the uplifting combination of soul and afrobeat with which the British-Nigerian singer is now making a name for herself. And beyond those irresistible rhythms? Behind them lies a sensitive storyteller. Dear Disorientated Soul is the title of her debut EP – and to all disoriented souls, including herself, LULU addresses herself when she sings: 'I know there is beauty where pain is.'
