Lola Young Celebrates Her New Album With an Intimate Evening for Spotify Fans
Forget the red carpet and velvet ropes. To mark the release of her new album, Lola Young decided to invite fans into her world. Last week, she welcomed her top Spotify listeners in London, along with friends and family, to Shoreditch’s Protein Studios for a night of deeply personal performances.
The crowd gathered in “Lola’s room,” where she performed several tracks from her just-released album, I’m Only F**king Myself—her first since the Londoner went viral with her chart-topping 2024 hit, “Messy.”
The set included several new songs, like “SPIDERS,” “Post Sex Clarity,” “Walk All Over You,” and “Penny Out of Nothing.” Blending live music and poetry, Lola gave the audience an intimate look into the themes that shaped the album.
Fans were also treated to spoken-word poetry performances by Lola’s friends, including model Kai-Isaiah Jamal, author Hussain Manawer, and poet and author Hollie McNish. A highlight of the night came when Lola’s grandfather read one of his own poems—a favorite of Lola’s—reminding everyone that creative talent runs in the family.
Of course, the night wouldn’t have been complete without a nod to Lola’s signature tooth gems. Fans stopped by a tooth gem stand to create their own Lola-inspired looks and add a little sparkle to their smiles.
The event offered fans a rare, up-close look at Lola’s artistry, showing how Spotify can help turn an album drop into a true community moment.
