This time, it’s DRC-born Toronto-based LU KALA engrossing us with a raging pop record. “Body Knew” is a lyrically and vocally transfixing song about moving on. Built around a blasting electronic instrumentation and production, it exhibits the singer’s barrier-defying attitude.

“Body Knew” is independently released (via AWAL) and is a great introduction to the artist. Prior to her solo debut, she had a successful career behind the desk as a songwriter, a stint that saw her pen hits for superstar singers.
