The up-and-coming pop artist, Lu Kala, delivers a different sound to her usual upbeat dance ballads with an emotional new single, Nothing but Love. Released today, this break-up anthem features astounding vocals and goes out to all of you broken hearted people out there.
If you haven’t heard of her yet, Lu Kala is definitely a name to know. After her blow up single, Pretty Girl Era and her viral hit Lottery with singer Latto, Kala has only been on the rise. She was recently named as a Vevo DCVR Artist to Watch for 2024, she performed alongside Cardi B at a TikTok’s inaugural all-day concert, and SZA is just one of her growing number of fans.
Nothing but Love acts as a new edge to her hot girl persona, showing a more personal side to the singer which is sure to rocket her into the spotlight. The melodies are soft yet powerful, and her words beautifully capture her mixed feelings of having “nothing but love” for her ex. Even though Kala painfully sings about how her ex betrayed her, she is torn because she can’t escape from the love she holds for them. “I try not to panic / in the mirror I’m fine but all the glass in me shattered,” she sings. Her lyrics hold her raw emotion and despair over her breakup, and show that she is figuratively broken from what her ex did to her. The song crescendos to a strong chorus where she shows off her powerful voice that echoes and magnifies the heartbreak she feels, singing “What kills me the most is that I still got nothing but love for you.”
Nothing but Love is a song that many can relate to and is already connecting with fans on social media who have been eagerly waiting for her single to drop. Kala’s songs make her the one to watch this year, and we all want to know what will come next from this rising artist.
