Lola Young, 24, is an artist teetering on the knife edge of greatness. The Nick Shymansky-managed BRIT-school alumni hit the mainstream last year, going all the way to the top of the charts with her ADHD chaos anthem Messy.
This year she had performed at the BRITS, where she took home the Rising Star award, plus Coachella and Glastonbury while preparing to drop her third album I’m Only F**cking Myself. Those are official asterisks (and style guide compliant journalists thank her for it) but the material within is anything but self-censored.
