Los Angeles-based artist Lola Blanc has an interesting background. For one, she used to be a child ventriloquist with a roller coaster of a life. Two, she has written for the likes of Brittney Spears and acted on television shoes such as ‘American Horror Story: Hotel’. Factor this into her music career and what you get are cinematic records that teeter between Broadway classic and modern, grandeur pop.

Lola Blanc’s latest EP The Magic is a whirlwind of theatrical pop, alternative, jazz and more, gigantic in sound and fitting for that of a movie soundtrack. It’s an ambitious record that surpasses any standard marking, with Blanc using her powerful vocal chords like a master performer on the stage of a musical production. Out now, you can preview The Magic EP below.
