Lola Young's Messy hits number one: My songs are as real as it gets


Lola Young, a singer from South London, has reached number one in the UK with her song Messy after a two-month climb. The song, which is unflinchingly honest and personal, has connected deeply with fans and become inescapable in recent months. Young has been nominated for a Brit Award for best pop act, marking a significant breakthrough in her career.

Despite her recent success, Young remains grounded and grateful for all the love that Messy has been receiving. She explains that the song is important to her and a personal expression of her own experiences and struggles. Young’s honest and raw lyrics have set her apart from other artists, and she feels that music is the only place where she can be truly honest.

Young is managed by two men who have previously worked with Amy Winehouse and Adele. She is often compared to Lily Allen and Charli XCX, but she brings her own unique perspective to their styles. Young describes herself as someone who “doesn’t really give a [care], but also really does” and feels that empowered women who like to party and be themselves are important.

Despite her recent success, Young has stayed true to herself and continues to write and perform music that is personal and meaningful to her. She recently made her US TV debut on Jimmy Fallon’s talk show and is scheduled to play at the Coachella and Reading and Leeds festivals this summer. With a new album in the works, fans can expect to hear even more of Young’s personal and honest music in the near future
