INTERVIEW BY LOVARI FOR GET OUT MAGAZINE
Lola
Lennox
When I first heard Lola Lennox
singing via an Instagram post,
I was astounded at the various
textures and tones that resonated
through her vocals with each
phrasing. To say that I was
impressed is an understatement.
With the release of her single
“In The Wild”, it solidified my
appreciation for her as both an
artist and songwriter.
The Discovery Channel’s six part
series “Serengeti”, created by
Simon Fuller (American Idol),
includes your vocals as lead on
the title theme, along with other
scenes in the entire score. It’s
very unique as it also reflect’s the
animal’s emotions. Tell me about
that experience.
I worked with Will Gregory of
Goldfrapp on the song. We used
different sounds along with the lyrics
to depict what the animals were
going through. The music was the
key to the stories. Each animal goes
through an individual journey. It is
quite emotional. Their struggle for
survival is real. It’s brutal.
Your song “In
The Wild” is
the first of four
singles you
are planning
to release this
year. What is
the concept
behind the
music video?
Elements of the
video depict
the concept
of the song.
For example,
the grey colors
indicate the
suffocation in a
relationship. The
element of water
in it is to cleans
our sins, so to
speak. As the
video continues,
the coldness and
complications
get replaced
with flowers,
a garden, and
again, places
of water. The
song is based
on a previous
relationship.
