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)"

Heartbreaking moment Lola Young breaks down in tears after leaving the stage
Messy singer Lola Young has broken down in tears after being hit with technical difficulties live onstage. The 24-year-old was performing during her slot at the Capital Summertime Ball over the weekend when it all went wrong. Lola was one of many huge acts performing at this year's festival at Wembley Arena in London. Other stars included in the line-up were Mariah Carey, Benson Boone, and Tate Mcrae. Lola's set was due to begin at 4:45 pm just after Zara Larsson giving her a 15 minute time slot for her to perform her best tracks. As the singer began to sing her chart-topping hit Messy her earpiece had actually stopped working. When a singer's in ear monitor (IEM) fails it can significantly impact their ability to hear themselves affecting their performance and confidence. While she struggled on stage, Lola could be heard saying: 'Sorry guys my ears are going in and out. Can I get some new ears?' Trying to continue without it she begged the crowd to: 'Sing along please.' The popstar struggled to keep in time with the music and her band exclaiming: 'It's like they're doing it on purpose.' When her set ended the star was spotted bursting into tears after hurrying offstage. In clips uploaded to TikTok Lola can be seen visibly upset and distressed from the incident, crying into her hands as her team tried to comfort her. Fans have rushed to support the star commenting messages of support, one user said: 'I really don't see how people can hate on someone for this? It was a sound issue and the crowd loved her still, I feel bad for her but she was one of the best acts!' Another chimed: 'She smashed it.' 'I felt so bad for Lola Young. Her earpiece stopped working and everything so she came off crying,' commented a third. Some fans were angry at event organiser Capital insisting it was their sound engineer who was at fault. In a rant, one fan said: 'People don't forget Lola Young is just starting she is a young talented singer. Yesterday her ear monitor stopped working, this is not hers or her band's fault at all! This is down to the sound engineer at the Capital Summertime Ball.' 'I do feel so sorry for Lola Young and my heart is with her and I hope that she is feeling okay. Capital should feel ashamed of yourself!!' they added. Lola started writing songs aged 11, and by 13 had competed in and won a national open mic competition. She was a student at the famous Brit School in Croydon which counts Adele and Amy Winehouse has past pupils. Following the success of her single Messy last year, she enjoyed sell-out UK and US tours, and also appeared at Coachella. Lola was also nominated for Best Pop Act at this year's BRIT Awards. Some fans may also not realise that Lola has nepo-baby roots her famous aunt is Julia Donaldson, the beloved author behind children's book The Gruffalo.

'Music is what keeps me alive...' Capital's Summertime Ball performer Rita Ora says singing is something she has to do
Rita Ora says music keeps her "alive" and is one of the most important things in her life. Although Rita's career has gone in different directions, including appearing on TV talent shows like The Masked Singer, recording songs is in her "blood" and she needs music in her life every day. Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz at Capital's Summertime Ball with Barclaycard at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday (15.06.25), she said: "Music is what keeps me alive, to be honest. I wake up listening to music; it runs in my blood. I think we all secretly need music in so many different ways." The Hot Right Now hitmaker's natural creativity is what motivates her in life. Rita - who performed some of her much-loved tracks, including Praising You and her new single Heat, at the Summertime Ball - said: "I love working and being creative, and it keeps my blood flowing. "If I get excited, I love it - fashion, movies, music. I just need to have that excitement." Rita and Will Smith - who both performed at Wembley Stadium on Sunday (15.06.25) - are "great friends", and she is thankful for his support over the years. The pop star - who recently told ITN she feels "inspired" by his "sense of filmmaking" - said: "Will and I have crossed paths many times over the years, and we are great friends. "He's a supporter of mine and has helped me in a lot of ways." Rita is married to award winning filmmaker-and-actor Taika Waititi and she admits she would love to work with him on a project in the future. The For You singer - who tied the knot with Taika in August 2022 - said: "It's about the project. Of course, he's my husband, and I want him to win at all costs, and it just needs to feel right, and it needs to be right. "We're going to be supporting each other regardless." And Rita says she and Taika, 49, are always inspiring each other and are always "full of ideas" as creatives. Speaking to E! in September 2024, Rita said: "We inspire each other. "With me coming from music and him being a writer, a director and a filmmaker, it's a house full of ideas. We're both fire signs, too. So it's just fire, fire, fire. "We help each other out, always."
