Those looking for new, innovative music to refresh their listening experience have much to celebrate today. Boho singer-songwriter Lola Kristine, a visionary artist with an enigmatic sound that transcends genres, has now released the third installment of her musical excursion, chapter three: into the woods. The latest piece consists of two tracks and is the most recent installment in her album, CHAPTERS. The release is comprised of two captivating songs, “Find Me in the Wilderness” and “Living for Myself.”
Originally from St. Louis, MO, and now based in Laguna Beach, CA, Kristine has grown into a prominent singer, songwriter, and pianist. She is known for reaching into the depths of audiences’ souls with her remarkable voice and timeless lyricism, creating music akin to food for the spirit. She has gained notoriety amidst such legendary performers as Mick Fleetwood and Don Cromwell and has collaborated with numerous artists across the globe. CHAPTERS goes beyond the realm where she is most known, which is for crossing genres from country rock and Americana to blues and retro soul. Instead, CHAPTERS is more of a personal journey through Kristine’s life—a journey marked just as much by love and heartbreak as it has been by self-discovery and redemption.
Kristine has previously released the first two ‘chapters’ of the album, both of which have been adored by her fans. Now, she is unveiling the latest installment, and both new singles are leaving listeners mesmerized. The first track of the new chapter, “Find Me in the Wilderness,” takes the listener on a trip into darkness as Kristine explores the road back to her inner child. This murky rock anthem showcases her steadfastness in confronting and breaking free from her demons as she walks us through newfound realizations. Kristine spoke about the track, saying, “‘Find Me in the Wilderness’ was the missing piece to tie the album together, inviting listeners to rediscover their wild souls.”
The second track in chapter three: into the woods is a total liberation of Kristine’s furious musical authority. Recorded live in the studio, “Living for Myself” is a roadmap through the singer’s ability to genuinely embrace her one-of-a-kind nature and what makes her unique. As a declaration of Kristine’s independence, the song vividly captures the essence and raw energy of the performances that keep her fans enthralled. Whereas “Find Me in the Wilderness” toes the line with a country sound, “Living for Myself” highlights her blues-rock inspiration, exploring the ability to reject societal expectations and celebrating female empowerment and authenticity within oneself.
“I wrote ‘Living for Myself’ after meeting with a powerful music manager who said I needed to stick to one style if I wanted to be successful. That I should keep myself in a nice box. This song began as my response to him.” And we fans are sure happy about the encounter that inspired the track; otherwise, we may have been deprived of a truly wonderful look into the artist’s soul. CHAPTERS. It is a powerful testament to the transformative power of love and the unparalleled satisfaction of embracing your authenticity. This latest installment, chapter three: into the woods, feels like a total embodiment of raw emotion, fearless innovation, and steadfast transformation.
