Lola Young’s “From Down Here” proves she’s still pop’s rawest writer

Lola Young is back in fittingly honest fashion.

Today, the British singer, who won praise for her 2025 album I’m Only F**king Myself and a Grammy for her hit “Messy,” releases her new song, “From Down Here,” produced by none other than James Blake. The song features Young’s recognizably vulnerable writing style and emotionally raw vocals, filled with rasp and expressiveness.

The track, which Young shares was written the day after her emotional Grammy win, finds the singer capturing her fleeting emotional state as she both achieves her dream of musical stardom and contends with the turmoil it brings. “I’m between a rock and the hardеst place / Can I make them laugh? Can I make them stay?” she sings on the new song over a beat that boasts Blake’s recognizable production style with warped electric piano chords and a simple yet haunting chopped drum loop.
