Radiohead’s Thom Yorke says he would not now play in Israel

DUBAI: French Algerian singer and songwriter Lolo Zouai has announced she will release a new single titled “3AM in San Francisco” on Nov. 6.

She shared on her Instagram Stories that the song is now available for pre-save. This marks the music sensation’s first release of the year.

Zouai captioned her post, “time to hit em with the bilingual,” hinting that the track features lyrics in English and French.

In 2024, Zouai dropped several tracks, including her “Please Hold” EP featuring “jetlag” and “UNHHH,” along with “mute” and “Potential.”

In June last year, she also announced that she had written a song for K-pop group NewJeans for their Japanese debut.

She captioned the post at the time: “‘Right Now’ by @newjeans_official out now!! Written by me. I’ve been a fan of NewJeans for a while and I’m honored to be a part of their Japanese debut!

“Also sang some background vocals on this one. Shoutout the incredible @freerangeneighborkid, we had so much fun writing in Korea last summer. I (love) this song and these girls.”

Known for her blend of R&B, club-pop and hip-hop, she has gained an international fan base for her dynamic stage presence and genre-blending music.

Her career highlights include the release of a debut album “High Highs to Low Lows” in 2019, which featured 12 tracks, and a follow-up “PLAYGIRL” in 2022, which included 13 tracks.

After the album’s release in October 2022, Zouai was featured on a billboard in New York’s Times Square.

She shared a video of herself posing in front of the billboard with fans. “I always said that one day, I would be on a billboard in Times Square. Today is that day,” she said in the short clip.

“Manifestation and hard work works,” she added.

The singer, who lives between Brooklyn and Los Angeles, embarked on a 30-stop tour for the album in 2023. The tour featured cities in the US, France, Canada, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.
