I was going to skip posting today. For reasons.
But I had this free day, and I was watching the Grammys..... and this song won Best Pop Solo Performance. Lola Young was so charming in her speech, I couldn't skip it.
She had no speech prepared.
I'm very happy for her.
From her second album This Wasn't Meant for You Anyway, Lola wrote the song just before her ADHD diagnosis..... which makes sense, because this song is, no joke, an anthem to ADHD. It is a thing of beauty. It is, indeed, just as messy as its title.
Lola won a Grammy, but she was nominated for two - the other being Best.... New Artist. For her second album. And, by the way, her third album (I'm Only F**king Myself) was released in September.
But, as a nominee, she was part of the fabulous BNA medley. And she took full advantage of her two minutes!
Unfortunately, the Grammys won't let us use that video. But we found a way.
This is Lola Young's only US hit song to date - something that I expect to change. She's still really young - and this Tonight Show performance is a lot of the reason why it was a hit.
