From being born and raised on a farm in South Africa to hitting the big leagues abroad with her latest single, Lola Audreys has all the ingredients needed to become the latest pop sensation. She teamed up with legendary musician, producer and composer, Nile Rodgers for the first single off her upcoming debut album.
The single titled, “Miami” is an enormous, sun-drenched pop anthem which could well become the official tune for the Miami Tourism Board.
Hannah Lux Davis, one of the best and most in-demand video directors on the planet, readily agreed to direct the video for “Miami feat. Nile Rogers” when she heard the song.
Check out the video for “Miami” below:
Hannah has directed award-winning videos for the likes of Ariana Grande, as well as Doja Cat, Katy Perry, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj and Christina Aguilera.
Described as the “rarest of gems”, Lola has the exceptional charisma of a true pop diva combined with the melodic and lyrical talent of a gifted singer songwriter. Lola possesses an immediately recognizable and commercially appealing voice, much like inspirations Kylie Minogue and Dua Lipa. And Lola writes big pop songs with lyrics that come from her own unique life experiences, much like her heroines Taylor Swift and Stevie Nicks.
