Singer-songwriter LP today announces the release of her captivating new single, “Angels”; the revised release date of her highly anticipated sixth album, CHURCHES; dozens of global headlining concert tour dates; and more. The fifth single from her album, “Angels,” is set for release on October 8th. The album, CHURCHES, previously set to come out next month, has been rescheduled for release on December 3rd via [PIAS] Recordings/SOTA Records. Global tour dates are listed below with ticketing links and more information available on LP’s website.
Describing the creation of the single, LP says, "’Angels’ just felt like a song that has always been there, roaming around in my head. I felt so filled up with love the second it became clear, maybe it was angels who actually wrote it. Who knows? Whatever it is, it feels really good to sing. I hope you feel it too." The track was produced by Nate Campany (Tove Lo, K.Flay, Christina Aguillera) and Kyle Shearer (Becky G, Tove Lo, Carly Rae Jepsen), collectively known as Valley Girl, along with by the album’s executive producer, Mike Del Rio (Kylie Minogue, X Ambassadors, Skylar Grey).
LP’s European dates for her 2022 headlining world tour in support of Churches will kick off on January 21st at the O2 Academy in Leeds – with a further four UK dates including a show at London’s Eventim Apollo on January 25th - and conclude after 30 dates across the continent on March 13th at Paris, France’s Salle Pleyel. Among the highlights of the European dates is a return to Crocus City Hall in Moscow, where LP recorded her 2020 live album Live In Moscow in front of a sold-out crowd of more than 6000 fans. A month later, LP will hit the road for U.S. dates, beginning on April 14th in Portland, Oregon.
In advance of the 2022 tour, LP is set for a series of 2021 European headline underplays, including a September 30th concert in London at Omeara and a Paris performance on October 4th at La Maroquinerie.
LP was SPIN’s July cover feature, with the publication raving, “Her voice, a glorious warble that spans three octaves, has incited bidding wars between major labels.” American Songwriter dubs LP an “Operatic singing, keen-eyed songwriter who is known for epic songs.” Flaunt calls her a “Musical Banshee, melancholic rebel, headstrong gambler and lyrical-truth teller.” About album tracks, Italian Vanity Fair said, “(‘The One That You Love’) could be the next ‘Lost On You’ which made LP famous all around the world.” Billboard praised “Goodbye” as “the hit of serotonin we're all in desperate need of these days,” and Earmilk enthused, “LP's ‘One Last Time’ is an emotional rollercoaster that we all want to ride.”
