As an outright fan of a multi-instrumentalist and anyone who embraces multiple art forms to realise their vision (I sound like Kanye on Ellen), I wanted to spotlight Kelsey Lu – who I haven’t seen live yet, but you’re about to find out that we can!
Naturally, Kelsey is opening for Grimes, Florence and Kendrick this Summer, but she also just unveiled the video for her track Dreams (directed by Alix Brown) and the announcement of her EP Church. The name? Well, in a beautifully analogue way and hero-ing genuine artistry, the EP’s title comes from the fact that it was recorded live in a single take at the Holy Family Roman Catholic Church in Greenpoint, Brooklyn with her cello, her voice and her loop pedal.
Bye. Everyone else.
This is the future, a direction in music that is going to re-cement the authenticity and integrity of the true artist. Thanks for helping pave the way Kelsey Lu.
