Still Mad

“I don’t feel pressure to change myself, I’m here because I am myself.” LU KALA
 
Every once and a while an artist appears who is destined to break the mold, LU KALA a is one of them. The fiery voiced songstress—with signature orange hair to match—is redefining what a pop star sounds and looks like.
 
Despite success as a songwriter, behind the lyrics was a voice waiting to be released, a voice that didn’t conform to the “black girl“ R&B vocal style producers assumed they’d hear. Instead her sound—raw, intensely emotive and mercurial with an ability to lean into dance, R&B, rock, soul and pop, at will—defied it. Unwilling to vocally bend herself into the box black female performers are expected to exist in, KALA has embraced her distinctive sound, transforming her trajectory as an artist and a woman in the process.

Since, she’s released her debut single, “DCMO (Don’t Count Me Out).”  The self-empowered pop anthem disarms with frank and deeply vulnerable lyrics. KALA describes the writing process as one that pushed her into emotional spaces she hadn’t allowed herself to go before. And its inspired her to begin telling the stories she didn’t realize she needed to tell. 

With the upcoming release of her debut EP, KALA continues venturing into emotional places few dare to go—on or off record. Unflinching in its tales of personal, hard-earned lessons in love. Romantic disillusionment, identity and self-worth are all laid-bare with breathtaking, unapologetic power.
