Lucky Lo: Swedish pop music with a twist (Spotlight On : 195)

The renowned alt-pop singer, songwriter, and producer explores the lush, heartfelt sound of her brilliant new album The Big Feel.
------------------
Today, the Spotlight shines On in a much different way than usual, as I am turning the microphone over to guest host Miriam Boulos.
Miriam has been a guest contributor to Bonus Tracks, the official blog of Spotlight On, since August 2023. Miriam publishes with us frequently, and her work has included interviews with and essays about a diverse array of artists like James Walsh of Starsailor, Chappell Roan, Fuera, Ella More, Chagall, and most recently PEPTALK. As an international contributor, MIriam consistently broadens our view and uncovers new voices for us. Even more importantly, she is shining the spotlight on gender inclusivity and other forms of diversity that we are very grateful for. It has been a privilege to share our platform with her.
Miriam is joined in conversation for this episode by Swedish alt-pop artist Lucky Lo. This bit about the artist, quoted from her bio, gives a glimpse of what to expect in their talk: “Lucky Lo unites people through her music by shedding light on the dark side of existence and turning trauma into triumph.” As a mission statement, it’s pretty strong.
Enjoy MIriam Boulos's conversation with Lucky Lo.
