Lola Young (born 4 January 2001) is an English singer and songwriter.[1][2][3] In 2021, Young was nominated for the Brit Award for Rising Star. That year, she was chosen to cover the 1980s hit "Together in Electric Dreams" for the John Lewis Christmas advert,[4] with a slowed down arrangement.[5] The following year, she placed fourth in the BBC Sound of 2022.[6] In October 2024, Young was featured on the song "Like Him" on Tyler, the Creator's album Chromakopia.[7] Young has spoken openly about her diagnosis with schizoaffective disorder.[8]
