We caught up with Sydney-based singer-songwriter and producer, Lupa J, to watch her brand new video for single ‘The Crash’ and got to know her a little better via some quick-fire questions.
A graduate of Unearthed High, Lupa J has proven herself as a gifted songwriter and producer. With three EPs and a plethora of impressive tours under her belt, which include Grimes, K-Flay, Sarah Blasko, Alice Glass (Crystal Castles) and Tegan and Sara, it’s no wonder she has found huge international support.
‘The Crash’ is taken from her forthcoming debut LP – Swallow Me Whole – and follows on from previous album singles ‘Drift’ and ‘You’re In My Headphones’. The core emotions behind Lupa J’s debut are on full display with this release as she sonically evokes a sense of urgency and destructiveness, harnessing elements of both the upbeat pop and dark experimental electronica that coalesce to make up her album.
Delicate and vulnerable, yet driven with intention in her delivery, ‘The Crash’ offers listeners a glance into the internal conflict experienced by the artist as she attempts to break out of her former circumstances and explores her innate desires.
