With powerhouse vocals, genre-bucking attitude, and a sharp pen that distills potent feelings into soaring pop hooks, LP has become one of the most internationally beloved singer-songwriters of their generation. Skyrocketing to fame with 2017's "Lost On You," a heart-penetrating folk ballad that hit No. 1 in 18 countries, the Los Angeles-based artist has captivated an audience of over 25.7 million monthly listeners/viewers who pack their transcendent, sold-out shows around the world in more than 150 cities from 3,000 to 20,000 tickets. LP's unparalleled catalog has amassed over 3B streams globally, filled with universal anthems of transformative love and self-discovery, capturing the complexity of the human experience through their eyes. "Songwriting is a way for me to go to the center of my own world," LP explains, "and find the originality I needed to get for myself." Following their 2021 album, Churches, an arresting project reflecting on religion and belonging that was praised for being "emotionally raw" (Spin cover story) and "confidently genre-fluid" (The Independent), LP found themself searching the next, deeper layer of the story of who they are. After spending a year-and-a-half just "living and collecting experiences," LP says, songs began pouring out with ease during sessions held between the island of Grand Cayman and Palm Springs. In just a few weeks, that flurry of creativity resulted in their seventh full-length, Love Lines, arriving September 29 via BMG. Their most luminous and heart-expanding work yet, Love Lines sees LP reflecting on the wide tapestry of relationships they've had in their life—romantic partners, family, and their own self—and how all these kaleidoscopic experiences have helped them get to the core of who they truly are. On the single "Golden," LP sings of learning to appreciate the lessons that come from lost love. "We are golden / We're not broken," they sing with their expressive belt, equal parts captivating and tender.
