Lulu Leloup’s March arrives with a clear sense of identity — a jazz and blues-inflected EP that leans into vintage aesthetics without feeling stuck in the past. Across its runtime, the Beirut/Dubai-based singer-songwriter crafts a series of introspective tracks that explore love, heartbreak, and the strange emotional grey areas in between.
There’s a sharpness to Lulu’s songwriting that sets her apart. Tracks like You Called Me Baby, but Baby You Didn’t Call tap into the frustrations of modern romance, while (If you’re gonna break my heart, would you do it after) March delivers a concept that’s equal parts playful and quietly devastating. It’s this balance of humour and honesty that gives the EP its edge.
The production remains consistently stripped-back, favouring subtlety over spectacle. Piano-driven arrangements and soft instrumentation allow Lulu’s voice to remain front and centre — and it’s a voice that carries both warmth and control. Even at its most understated, there’s a confidence that runs through the project.
March might not be a loud statement, but it’s a clear one. Lulu Leloup knows exactly what she’s doing — and with this EP, she proves that sometimes the most powerful moments come from holding back rather than pushing forward.
