LOLAA has premiered a video for their single "Always Been" today via BrightestYoungThings to announce their first U.S. dates, August 19 in Chicago at Pilsen Fest, 25 in Philadelphia and 26 in New York, in support of their eponymous, debut EP, released this spring - share the video via YouTube.
Toronto sisters Lex Valentine and Nadia Valerie King emerged in 2016 with "Always Been", featuring backing vocals from '90s dance icon, Simone Denny of Love Inc., and performing live in Toronto, supporting acts such as MSTRKRFT, Helado Negro, Fear of Men and Tkay Maidza. After performing during Canadian Music Week in Toronto this spring, LOLAA followed with a second single, "Spirits", and a story on Latin tastemaker site Remezcla. LOLAA celebrated the release of the EP with a series of hometown performances, including last week's Open Roof Festival. King and Valentine had spent the better part of a decade as two-thirds of Toronto's Magneta Lane, a project begun in high school, releasing their debut record at just 16. When 2015 rolled around, Nadia and Lex were ready for something new, and began their writing sessions in the studio with producer, Jon Drew (F*cked Up/Tokyo Police Club). Combining their experience and skill as songwriters with the cultural influences that had lay dormant in their previous work, the sisters found the warmth and colour of freedom that laid the groundwork for LOLAA - drums, bass, movement, rhythm, pop-infused vocals and no-limits songwriting.Artist Websites:
