Likely titled “LOLA,” she posted a green screen clip of herself dancing to a snippet of the new song, and wrote alongside it: “In honor of TikTok being banned (or not???), I’m teasing a new single I have coming out. ‘LOLA’ will be yours soon if you use this sound.”
She also teased the new release with a photo dump on Instagram from her London base, including snapshots of herself writing and recording the track, simply captioned: “new year new music 2025555.”
Lola spoke with Entertainment Tonight previously about her career and following her parents and older brother into the spotlight, and revealed some of the advice she received from Kelly and Mark.
“[They tell me] just to stay humble, respectful, kind, and hardworking,” she shared. “It’s always been their priority in raising my brothers and I, just how to act in general, not even just in specifically your career, but everyday life.”
She branded her music as “authentic” and “a little R&B and maybe a bit alternative,” citing her personal life plus the lives of those around her as inspiration for many of the tracks she’s put out thus far.
“Everyone always asks me, ‘Is your music about specific people?’,” she adds, saying they’re “not necessarily about anything, anyone specific, but definitely situations that maybe I’ve endured multiple times or that I know a friend has or a family member [who has]. When it’s specific, I feel like everyone will know.”
She explained she’s “always thinking about new things to write about,” and adding she’s “really happy that I’m at a place where I feel comfortable and excited enough to wanna release my music.”
“I think next is going to be an EP for sure and then hopefully an album after that,” Lola continued of what the next stage of her career will look like. “Live performing is something I wanna do 100 percent.”
“I just wanna make sure I’m comfortable with the music I’m putting out, I’m happy with it, and I’m ready for that, which I feel like I am. But I don’t feel the need to rush anything, because I’m enjoying what I’m doing so much that I’m just trying to let it flow naturally.”
