Kelsey Lu, however, is an unmistakably refreshing talent that has forged her own path in the neo-classical realm and has attracted collaborators like Solange, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and more. The musician released her latest LP, Blood, on April 19, which sees a deeper expansion into avant garde electronica.

Lu’s keen ear for genre blending and fearlessness around manifesting her own unique artistic vision have made Blood a resounding success within days of its release, and an exciting look into the continued trailblazing to be seen from her end.
