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.

WILLOW Lights Up London in First-Ever Spotify and Acne Studios Collaboration Event

In 2024, Spotify and Acne Studios announced a unique partnership: We were setting out to create new ways for artists to connect with fans and express their creativity across music and fashion. On Wednesday, we brought the partnership to life with a captivating performance by WILLOW at London’s iconic Hackney Church. With 12 million monthly listeners on Spotify, the artist is the face of Acne Studios’ Fall/Winter 2024 campaign.

We invited WILLOW’s top fans in the area to the exclusive event, where she performed songs from her latest album, ceremonial contrafact (empathogen deluxe), including “home,”false self,” and “symptom of life.” With WILLOW counting London among her most-streamed cities globally on Spotify, it was only fitting that the U.K. capital play host to the event—which also marked her European performance debut.

The evening was a vibrant celebration of sound and style. Guests were treated to Spotify x Acne Studios merchandise while the historic backdrop of the church created an extraordinary atmosphere. Other artists in attendance included Arlo Parks, Shygirl, and Cat Burns.
