This week's video is Desert Rose by Lolo Zouai. She's a French American singer who was born in Paris and grew up in San Francisco, California. Her breakout song was 2017's High Highs to Low Lows which was very popular on music sites such as Spotify and Soundcloud.
Lolo's latest single is Ride and her debut album High Highs to High Lows is due out on Friday (19th April).
Desert Rose was uploaded to YouTube last May but I only came across it in March and featured it in that month's New Music/Videos post. It's a very personal song about bridging divides and acceptance. Lolo is half Algerian and says growing up in America has created cultural and religious divide between her father's family and herself. In the song, which is written in a mixture of English, French and Arabic, she asks her dad's family to accept and love her as she is. This is the official audio.
