LP seeks to overthrow racism and violence hand in hand with rock: “I want to break with this mar…armada”

We see it in her expressions, her gestures, her way of speaking, at each step she inspires rock. With her wild curls and laid-back attitude, LP He arrives in South America with one goal: to connect and relive those emotions that have been engraved in him. After visiting countries like Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador, he now lands in Argentina to perform at the Luna Park and the Cosquin Rock.

Owner of a unique, melodic, but at the same time rough voice, the singer had to wait four years to return to the country with a solo show. For this reason, this visit has a special flavor, since it will be a reunion with an audience who knew how to show him love: “It’s exciting because a lot of time has passed. It was like, it was two years ago? And it’s like, no, it’s been 4 years. And it’s like, where the hell did my life go? But you know, I remember Argentina was crazy the first time I played there. And I remember being overwhelmed by so much kindness. It was really good. And last year in the Lollapalooza it was amazing. I can not wait. I’m excited”.

The New Yorker – who started composing songs like “Dear (Drink to that)”, by Rihanna; “Beautiful people”, Christina Aguilera y “Love will keep you all night” from street boys– arrives with five albums to his credit and will focus his show on his latest album, Churches. “Yes, I think there will be a lot of Churches because we are still in the land of Churches. But I will also play songs from all the other albums. I’ll try to play different things and see different things that people like. but yes a lot Churches assurance. It’s gonna be like, not the end for Churchesbut it’s like, next time I come, I’ll show another album,” the American said of her shows.

During his last presentation, which took place at Vorterix Theater of Buenos Aires, LP had been impressed by the audience, which returned an energy similar to that felt during a football match. “It feels like a killer atmosphere. I don’t think they’re crazy, I think they’re full of life, in a good way. It looks like a football game, and it’s awesome. All that good vibes and energy, you know. I grew up playing football and sports, and I love watching them too, and I feel like I know that kind of thing can’t be “forced”. It’s very hard to put down roots like “yeeeaah”. So yes, I love it, it’s great”, reveals the author of ‘Lost On You’, single with which she became known worldwide in 2016.

Thus, throughout his tour from country to country, he felt and connected with cultures he had never reached. “I think it’s wild. I’m sure people in other countries think that every state in America is very different, and I think they are. I can see it too. But I feel like there’s a real thread between people who like your music. I have to say it’s hard to explain, I mean it can only be felt, and it’s something the only person who understands is me (laughs). And the group”, underlines Laura Pergolizzi, the real name of the artist.

This is precisely what has become one of the pillars of his musical research: “connecting”. After nearly 20 years of career, which began in 1998 with independent groups, the artist aims to create a privileged relationship with his audience at each performance: “I try to ensure that a person, a soul, either in the same place. I don’t think much about “why”, I just feel it and try to connect with people and not with anything else. It’s a way of life, regardless of country, ancestry, system. Wherever I am, whoever I fuck, whatever I do, it doesn’t matter (laughs). We are here to discuss the common denominators of people’s feelings. My heart is open to what your heart wants and feels and I basically respect that, and just want to commune with you. That’s all I look for in music.”

With songs like “When We’re High” (97 million reproductions on the platforms), ‘The other people’ (72 million)“Girls Go Wild” (65 million) and ‘Muddy Waters’ (56 million), the artist seeks to continue reinventing herself and connecting with the world, a task she will seek to accomplish both in her upcoming performances and in the new music she is working on for her upcoming album.

“It’s almost like a challenge to try to write something 3-4 minutes long that can change the chemistry between us in the same room. And it’s like, tearing life out in the open for people, breaking All this armed shit we got, the divisions that keep us apart A lot of it’s useless Some of it is necessary for us to function, but for the time you’re in the room with me, for a few hours, we’re tearing down these walls and pretending that kind of shit doesn’t exist. That’s what I love,” LP concludes.
