Lola Young Sets Release Date for New Album ‘I'm Only F-cking Myself'
Last year, Lola Young released her second studio album, This Wasn't Meant for You Anyway, which housed her breakthrough single 'Messy.' Now, the British pop artist is gearing up to return with another full-length LP with another pointed title. I'm Only Fucking Myself will arrive via Island Records on Sept. 19. I'm Only Fucking Myself kicked off with the release of 'One Thing' last month. 'I wanted to make a song and music video that is thought-provoking and highlights sex being both a fun and light thing, not always meaningful, as well as showing how gender roles can be reversed,' Young said at the time. In a separate Instagram post, she assured fans that 'the album that is coming soon has some deeeeeep ones tho don't you worry.'

'The new album is going to be a lot more about my personal struggle and less so about love,' she said. 'There's some real bangers on there. I can't say too much, but I can say that this feels like a step up.' In November, Young will take the album on the road with a run of shows across North America. 'Can't wait to be back in the room with you all,' she wrote on Instagram. Her audience has expanded significantly since This Wasn't Meant for You Anyway, but she's hopeful that she can still connect to everyone in person and in the music. 'I think that's the whole purpose of why I make music, is to make people feel like they belong somewhere,' Young told Rolling Stone. 'That's what I want people to feel. I understand them, and millions of other people do, too.' Best of Rolling Stone Sly and the Family Stone: 20 Essential Songs The 50 Greatest Eminem Songs All 274 of Taylor Swift's Songs, Ranked

Lola Young to release new album I'm Only F****** Myself in September
Lola Young will release her third studio album, I'm Only F****** Myself, on September 19. The Messy hitmaker has announced her next studio effort alongside the new single, Not Like That Anymore, "a fist-in-the-air anthem built for shouting back at the world", set for release on Friday (20.06.25). A press release notes that: "Lola's upcoming third album encapsulates emotional and musical growth. It's a bright, touching body of work that often dives into the dark and raw but is counterbalanced by Lola's uncompromising attitude, unafraid to get candid with exactly how she feels." It continued: "I'm Only F****** Myself explores themes of self-sabotage, using vices like sex and drugs as a form of escapism, which can quickly turn into nihilism." Fans have already heard the infectious earworm, One Thing. I'm Only F****** Myself follows 2024's Top 20 LP This Wasn't Meant for You Anyway. The 24-year-old star has been racking up awards and was honoured with the ASCAP Vanguard Award in recognition of her growing list of achievements on June 17. The ASCAP accolade followed Lola receiving the Rising Star Award at this year's Ivor Novellos. Meanwhile, Lola recently suffered a technical glitch when her earpiece malfunctioned during her performance of Messy at Capital's Summertime Ball. The star was praised by fellow pop star RAYE, who commented on a TikTok of the viral moment: "Sound travel[s] slowly, especially across a venue this big. "Like a 3 second difference from it coming out of speakers to reaching the other side of the stadium, without in ears or a floor monitor, it is almost impossible to sing in time or pitch yourself !! "Lola you're doing amazing! So proud of you. (sic)"

Charli xcx has been nominated for the Ivors
Charli xcx's hit album Brat and Wham!'s perennial festive hit Last Christmas are among the musical works nominated at next month's Ivors, Britain's annual awards honouring songwriters and screen composers. Lola Young was in the lead on Wednesday with three nominations, her first from the Ivors Academy. They included one for rising star, while her single Messy was among the contenders for best song musically and lyrically. Her record This Wasn't Meant for You Anyway is nominated for best album, alongside Charli xcx's Brat, which inspired a cultural phenomenon last year, and singer Jordan Rakei's The Loop. Wham!'s Last Christmas, which was released in 1984 but regularly returns to the UK charts during the festive season, is nominated in the most performed work category. Its writer, late singer George Michael was last nominated at the Ivors 20 years ago. Also nominated are Dua Lipa's Houdini, Myles Smith's Stargazing and Prada by Casso, Raye and D-Block Europe. Harry Styles' 2022 As It Was, nominated for a third year running, completes the most performed work category list. After winning songwriter of the year at last year's Ivors, Raye is nominated for best song musically and lyrically for her single Genesis. Also nominated in that category are Child of Mine by Laura Marling, In the Modern World by Fontaines D.C. and Orla Gartland's Mine. Best contemporary song contenders are Ghetts' Double Standards (feat. Sampha), Pa Salieu's Allergy, Jade's Angel of My Dreams, Sans Soucis' Circumnavigating Georgia and Bashy's How Black Men Lose Their Smile. Last month, organisers said Irish rockers U2 would receive the Ivors Academy Fellowship, the UK-based association's highest honour, at this year's awards, their 70th edition. Named after the early 20th century Welsh composer, actor and entertainer Ivor Novello, the Ivor Awards were first handed out in 1956. This year's ceremony will be held on May 22 in London. Reuters
