Praise for LOLA SCOTT:
“Lola Scott has just three singles to her name, but the world she’s building is formidable. Pulling a luscious pop sound and matching each tune with a resoundingly cinematic music video, it’s clear this artist isn’t fond of anything but perfection.” – Happy Mag
“Occasionally, an artist presents themselves as a completely realised project just a handful of songs into their career, and Lola Scott is one of those artists.” – PileRats
“Rising star Lola Scott is one act you need to have on your radar… (Take Me Back) is unashamed pop, and its power is in Lola‘s no-holds-barred approach, leaving absolutely everything on the floor with a stunning vocal performance to complement her intimate songwriting.” – Purple Sneakers
“Need to give this one its moment – (cyclone weather) is a gorgeous one from Lola! It veers towards breaking point and you’ll be on the hook the whole time.” – Dave Ruby Howe (triple j)

Indie-pop trailblazer Lola Scott has revealed another new single from her upcoming body of work, ¼ Life Crisis. Infused with quirky, synth-infused production and Lola’s distinctively brilliant breathy and layered vocals, “4E Jobless” (pronounced: Forever Jobless) is an upbeat ode to the experienced by many young people today, struggling to hold down that job you have no passion for just to get by, the fresh lyrics and crisp vibe of the track exemplifies the refreshingly honest direction Lola is taking with her music in 2021.

“I wrote this song about the first time I had properly quit a job with notice, and made the decision to go full-time focusing on music,” said Lola. “At the time I was working for one of my best mates. I was so shit at my job & the only reason I didn’t get fired was because she was the manager. When I was writing this song, I was joking about how I’d decided to retire this early in life, and wondering how long it would be until I ran out of money and came back begging for my job.
I’ve had plenty of people throughout my life ask when I was going to stop playing in bands and get a ‘real job’. My family were never those people, but I was always encouraged to have a back up plan, and had many people assume music was a hobby. I’ve seen this same story play out with a lot of my musician friends and their families, so I hope people can relate to this one.”
First picking up the guitar from the age of eight, and putting her emotions into words in her songs, Lola Scott would spend her lunchtimes in the music rooms for the majority of her school life. This dedicated honing of her musical craft over the years eventually led to her attaining a Bachelor’s degree in guitar, and subsequently beginning her career as a session musician playing in friends’ bands throughout University, even landing a European tour and various local tours.
Since the launch of her solo project in 2018, Lola Scott has delivered highly-praised singles with mind-blowing consistency, releasing three hook-laced singles in 2019 including “Crowded Conscience”, which saw spot plays on triple j, and “Cyclone Weather”, which was added to full rotation on tastemaker station FBi Radio in Sydney. Lola launched into 2020 stronger than ever, with triple j-favourite “Take Me Back”, which received praise from Purple Sneakers, LeFutureWave, CloutCloutClout, Music Feeds, Indietronica and more. Scott’s most recent single “The Eviction Song” saw her praised by NME Australia, Women In Pop and Happy Mag, Milky and more. “The Eviction Song” was also added to full rotation on triple j Unearthed.
Evoking comparisons to alt-pop trailblazers Maggie Rogers, Wolf Alice and Emma Louise, and with more music to come in 2021, Lola Scott has cemented a truly original sound and a formidable reputation in the Sydney music scene.
“4E Jobless” is available on all platforms now.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
