September 24, 2025

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.

“I love New York City, but I can’t stay at the Carlyle anymore,” sings Kelsea Ballerini on “Two Things,” a song from her fifth studio album, PATTERNS, out now. On Thursday, however, the country star returned to the legendary Gotham hotel—the venue that inspired the poignant track—to celebrate the album drop with Spotify.

We invited Kelsea’s top Spotify listeners in the New York area to an exclusive listening party at the hotel, creating a sense of nostalgia and intimacy that permeated the evening. Fans experienced the magic of PATTERNS the night before its official release, with Kelsea playing five songs from the album: “Patterns,” “Baggage,” “We Broke Up,” “How Much Do You Love Me,” and “I Would, Would You.” Finally, she surprised the room with her first-ever performance of “Two Things” before sitting down for a Q&A with Entertainment Tonight’s Cassie DiLaura.
