Shaken by LP is a blast of indie pop and when you hear it you will soon find out that the blast is really LP's vocal performance and that her voice will transform any song into something special. Her powerful register, full of grit and vigor, is all by itself a powerful instrument to be reckoned with and within the vocally more subdued moments of Shaken (there are some) you can feel her utmost vulnerability and broken tenderness too. I have yet to delve fully into her music, into her new album "Heart To Mouth" and I hope that she takes full advantage of being able to sell songs with her tender side too because powerhouse singers sometimes forget to do that.
Her look is as striking as her voice with a sense of androgyny which I always find interesting and cool. I actually thought of Marc Bolan a bit when I saw her pics (and a young Nicole Kidman). LP is from L.A. and is currently on tour (Europe) in support of her "Heart To Mouth" album so do yourself a favor and check her out live.
Pride Month is here and it's bringing out the best of queer music, and so is LP with this outstandingly powerful track. Conveying the pain of seeing your former lover with a new person, and reminiscent of the theme of queer anthem "Dancing on My Own" by Robyn, "Shaken" breaks the mold with LP's fiery feelings and melodic acrobatics.
LP recently talked to Ones To Watch on her experience of being gay in the music industry. She explains, "Being gay has definitely been a challenge in that people in the industry can sometimes think that defines you."
LP is a sensation - one whose defining characteristic is her exemplary music that displays her diversity of talent and passion. The anthemic "Shaken" is a powerful cry, an honest plea and a cathartic release. LP delivers on this gripping track with musical highs and lows, following the dynamics of experiencing the heartbreak that accompanies a breakup. New fans will feel like they're alongside LP, holding her hand as she pours her heart out.
This knockout star may not be new to the music scene but she is set to become the biggest breakout of 2019. LP's single "Girls Go Wild" from the Heart to Mouth album just hit #1 in Italy and will continue to break charts around the world.
