Ladylucci: Infusing London’s R&B Scene with Soul
Bold, genre-defying artists have long been produced in London, and the city’s newest talent is no exception.Introducing Ladylucci, a budding R&B artist with a soulful voice and a sound that updates classic influences.
Ladylucci, who was born in Italy and currently resides in London, creates music that is both timeless and modern.Consider the unvarnished honesty of Amy Winehouse, the poetic profundity of Lauryn Hill, and the graceful grace of Jorja Smith.Her approach combines poignant narrative with cosy, retro vibes; every song is a heartfelt fusion of melody and passion.Ladylucci refers to it as “melancholic nostalgia,” and to be honest, that description couldn’t be more accurate.
The New Single: “Truth is”
Her latest release, Truth is, is a collaboration with Asaph Kolakale—a Nigerian-born, London-based producer and bassist. The moment you press play, you’re transported to the golden age of soul. The arrangement is lush and groovy, while Ladylucci’s voice channels the grace and strength of icons like Sade and Anita Baker. It’s an intimate track about love, anchored by her rich, velvety vocals.
Truth is marks her third single and gives us a sneak peek at what’s to come on her upcoming EP. This project draws deeply from the well of neo-soul, paying tribute to its roots while giving it a sleek, modern spin. It’s soul music, but with today’s pulse running through it.
The collaboration itself came together almost by fate—Asaph sent over the instrumental on Valentine’s Day, and Ladylucci had written the melody and lyrics by the next day. That kind of instant chemistry doesn’t happen often, and it shows in the music.
Reimagining R&B
Ladylucci’s sound is proof that R&B is alive and evolving. From its beginnings in African-American communities to becoming a global phenomenon, the genre has always had a way of adapting while staying true to its emotional core. Artists like Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, and Whitney Houston laid the groundwork—now artists like Ladylucci are taking the torch and running with it.
Her music captures that same emotional honesty, blending vulnerability with resilience. With each release, she’s carving out a space that’s entirely her own—rooted in tradition but never afraid to explore new ground.
A Voice to Watch
As Ladylucci’s journey unfolds, it’s clear she’s not just another voice in the crowd. There’s something special in the way she tells a story—unfiltered, sincere, and rich with feeling. Truth is is just the beginning. If you haven’t already, give it a listen—and keep your eyes on this artist as she continues to shape the future of soulful music in the UK and beyond.
