Thanks, Chris! This writeup about Lola Young 100% typifies why I follow The Double Chorus. I love good music (well, don't we all?) but am not a musician, have no "contacts" in the music or general entertainment businesses, and live (alas) on The Wrong Side of the Pond. And I'm a Boomer, with all the tunnelvision baggage that suggests. You consistently manage to point me towards artists I've never heard -- or heard OF, even -- who thrill me to my core. Young goes right to the head of the current stack; I can't bring myself to regret not hearing her sooner, because I'm so happy you've led me to hear her NOW. "From Down Here" is superbly written, and the Jools Holland performance killed me. Thanks again.

That's so lovely John, thank you. Really means a lot. Big love to you. XX
I was gonna call title this piece "Jameela Jamil is already a better producer than Rick Rubin..." but it felt too trolling.
She is, though.
