The storytelling in 'Lola' stands out, supported by strong melodies and distinct instrumentation.

What we noticed

• — The title track 'Lola' features a narrative structure that unfolds over several verses, detailing a story rather than adhering to a traditional verse-chorus format.
• — The second track, 'Berkeley Mews', shifts to a more reflective tone with softer instrumentation and a slower tempo, providing contrast to the energetic opener.

Significant within its genre. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
