The new single from Lutalo is an emotive, introspective single that places their voice above a stripped-back accompaniment. ‘Little Chance’ allows their instantly recognisable voice to explore the space above the gentle strumming of guitars and delicately placed backing vocals. “Broadly the concept speaks of how we as people treat each other and how some hold others almost hostage,” they explain. “But it’s mainly about a decaying relationship in which one person is very clearly wanting to get out of the relationship whilst the other still desperately clings onto the hope that saying “I love you” is enough to convince their partner to stay with them.” Their musical background was varied, with African drumming classes, bossanova and MF Doom all playing their part. Lutalo’s new EP, Once Now, Then Again, drops on June 10th, 2022. -Dan Peeke
