“Lola Young’s fierce, funny and assertive songs run on outsized emotions, the 23-year-old singer emboldened and finally embracing everything she has to offer. ‘This Wasn’t Meant For You Anyway’, Young’s first full-length album, moves with an auteur-like touch to its production; opulent soul set pieces stand tall next to raw, scratchy indie tunes, all of which see the south Londoner face desire in i”

“Lola Young knows that it is all too easy to get swept up by a storm that is bigger than yourself. In 2021, the 22-year-old covered Philip Oakey and Giorgio Moroder’s ‘Together In Electric Dreams’ for the John Lewis Christmas advert, little over a year into her career – it provided Young with a significant exposure boost, but felt like more of a branding exercise than a memorable introduction to a ”

“The pop songwriter turns the oversharing dial up to eleven on her latest album, painting a portrait of a twenty-something’s angst, ennui, and insecurity against a backdrop of indie-rock leanings.”

“This album feels like Lola Young at her most fearless and fully realized. I’m Only F**king Myself is raw, funny, bruised, and brutally honest — the kind of record that sounds like it was made because it had to be. She leans into messy emotions, self-sabotage, desire, and regret without trying to soften the edges, and that’s exactly what makes it hit so hard. Her voice is the emotional engine here; gritty, soulful, and packed with personality and the songwriting feels diaristic in the best way. There’s humor woven into the heartbreak, confidence tangled with vulnerability, and a sense that Lola knows exactly who she is, even when she’s admitting she doesn’t have it all together. What really elevates the album is how authentic it feels. Nothing sounds forced or polished for the sake of trends; it’s imperfect, lived-in, and deeply human. From start to finish, it holds your attention and leaves a strong emotional impression. I’m Only F**king Myself is bold, cathartic, and incredibly replayable. The kind of album that makes you feel seen while reminding you why being honest in music still matters.”
