IOTA
Lous and the Yakuza (née Marie-Pierra Kakoma) is probably one of the coolest people currently walking this earth. In addition to casually gracing runways and billboards for the likes of Louis Vuitton and Chloé, the Congolese-Belgian singer-songwriter dropped her second album IOTA not too long ago, and it’s every bit as stylish and sophisticated as Lous herself. Featuring her signature blend of R&B and trap influences with haunting melodies and effortless French rap, this is the album to listen to when you’re feeling major main character energy. TAKATA, TRÉSOR, and KISÉ are my favorite tracks from IOTA, and I highly recommend checking out Lous’ previous album, GORE, as well.
