In The Spotlight

Lu Kala -“Pretty Girl Era”

Born in Congo and raised in Toronto, this Canadian singer and songwriter grew up in two different cultural worlds. She always knew that she wanted to be a singer and spent her childhood finding out how to make that happen. As a songwriter she had a song featured on Jennifer Hudson’s 2014 album “JHUD”. Inspired by Rihanna, P!nk and Drake, she debuted with “DCMO (Don’t Count Me Out)” in 2018.

Expertly blending vivid retro-pop with sparkling R&B and a zesty dose of hiphop, her spicy new single truly has it all. Brimming with positivity coming from feeling the best about yourself, the confident lyrics are enriched by the funkalicious melody. With fresh keys, a bouncy beat and crisp electric guitars, it’s her fiery vocals which capture your ears and are as vibrant as her signature orange hair.

In The Spotlight

Raissa – “I Will Wait”

Based in Los Angeles, this singer and songwriter spent her childhood growing up in London, Beijing, Sydney and Kuala Lumpur. Born to French and Spanish parents, she was exposed to a wide range of cultural and musical influences. Initially signed to Mark Ronson’s label, Zelig Records, she’s now an independent artist. Inspired by Lady Gaga and Prince, she debuted with “Bullying Boys” in 2020.

Written at a Melbourne airport gate while she was feeling particularly blue, her new single tells her to wait it out until brighter times arrive. Injecting some danceable fun into a melody, the track starts with a retro-touched guitar and an bouncy beat, before releasing its sonic sparkles in the buoyant chorus. And with her crisp and impassioned vocals, this bubbly groove is definitely worth waiting for.
