LA-based Australian artist Lili Kendall unveiled her captivating new single “lonely empress.” This track is the final teaser to come from her forthcoming debut album love, herself. “This song is about choosing self-growth over a relationship,” Lili Kendall writes about “lonely empress.” “I wrote this song when I realized the relationship I was in was not allowing me to thrive and become the woman and artist I envision myself to be.” The title of the track was inspired by a tarot card reading Lili did for herself while looking for guidance in her life — the card she picked was the empress.

Lili worked with Grammy award-winning producer Syience and guitarist Javaughn Young White. The track begins with a mysterious pop beat and Lili’s signature alluring neo-soul vocals, erupting over the length of the track with atmospheric production and instrumentation that makes you feel as if you are teleporting to Lili’s empowering, femme-forward dream wonderland. Lili keeps the beat slow, but powerful, instantly drawing you in and keeping you captivated through the mesmerizing lyrics. You can hear the emotion and heartbreak in Lili’s voice as she sings “I will not go down like this/Rather be the lonely empress.”

Lili has been living in Los Angeles for the past two years. She originally hailed from Brisbane, Australia. The artist has been working on her craft and developing her career into her own originality. Before the release of her upcoming debut album love, herself, Lili has swiftly aligned herself as a pop-R&B novice to watch with a string of sincere and enthralling singles and visuals. Set for release later this Spring, love, herself is a transformative and healing body of work that chronicles womanhood, self-empowerment, love, and life. Lili Kendall is perfect for fans of Viaa, Maydar, and Sølv.
