“Featuring collaborations with Skrillex and Jamie xx, the West Coast transplant’s debut album flips the chamber-folk cello of her debut EP into a contemporary, decidedly Los Angeles hybrid sound.”
“Unusually for an artist that’s one EP and several singles deep into their career, it’s still difficult to know what to expect from cellist/singer Kelsey Lu. That’s in part due to the range and prestige of the North Carolinian’s side projects, which have included arranging strings for Florence + The Machine, collaborating with Solange and Blood Orange, and participating in experimental live perform”
“In the early stages of producing this, her debut album, cellist and vocalist Kelsey Lu described the record as a recognition of the pain in the darker side of life, and finding the strength to move through it. ‘Blood’, even as it explores complicated themes of life and death – of what’s to come and what’s not to come – is simple in its tranquil delivery. Breaking out as a solo artist with 2016 EP”
