Ivor Novello Rising Star Winner and BRIT Award-nominated South London artist Lola Young unveils her gut-wrenching new single ‘Spiders’, from her highly-anticipated album, I’m Only F**king Myself, due out 19th September.
An emotional anchor on Lola’s upcoming album, ‘Spiders’, is a blistering build of a ballad. Incorporating 90’s-style grunge production, which intertwines seamlessly with Lola’s raw, unbridled emotion, conveyed through her lyricism and vocal performance, ‘Spiders’ unlocks a deeper level of Lola’s artistry.
“Sometimes you want to kill what you’re most scared of in life, but when you actually face up to it, it’s really not as scary as you thought it would be.” says Lola
Arriving later this month, I’m Only F**king Myself encapsulates Lola’s emotional and musical growth. It’s a bright, touching body of work that often dives into the dark and raw but is counterbalanced by Lola’s uncompromising attitude, unafraid to get candid with exactly how she feels. Co-written and produced with frequent collaborators Manuka and SOLOMONOPHONIC (Doja Cat, SZA), I’m Only F**king Myself explores themes of self-sabotage and Lola’s attempt to pull herself out of it. The upcoming album features recent offerings, ‘d£aler’, ‘Not Like That Anymore’ and ‘One Thing’.
Lola is the recipient of the ‘Rising Star’ accolade at this year’s Ivor Novello Awards, following her ‘Best Pop Act’ nomination at this year’s BRIT Awards. She has collaborated with Tyler, The Creator (‘Like Him’), and Lil Yachty (‘Charlie’) and continues to make a global impact with her music and compelling personality. Following her debut appearance at Coachella earlier this year, Lola opened for Billie Eilish in Paris during her Hit Me Hard and Soft headline tour and gave standout festival performances at Glastonbury, Lollapalooza in Paris, Way Out West and Lowlands.
In celebration of I’m Only F**king Myself, Lola will head out on a nationwide record store tour, kicking off later this month and will then embark on her biggest UK headline shows to date in October, with all dates sold-out. She will perform two nights at Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse, the O2 Academy in Birmingham, and two nights at London’s O2 Academy Brixton, before an anticipated return to North America for headline shows in November as well as a headline European run in 2026 – full dates below.
Boasting over 1 billion all-time streams globally across her catalogue of releases, Lola Young continues to achieve tremendous success. Her platinum-certified #1 single ‘Messy’ from her acclaimed 2024 album, This Wasn’t Meant For You Anyway, held the top spot in the UK for four consecutive weeks, making Lola one of only two British female artists to reach #1 in the UK Singles Chart within the last year.
