‘Girls in Hollywood’ is Lola Wild’s pop-noir unmasking of movie star glamour

One of London’s most intriguing voices Lola Wild takes listeners on a shadowy stroll through the allure and disillusionment of fame in her brand new single ‘Girls in Hollywood’. It’s a haunting blend of cinematic pop and atmospheric indie designed to unmask Hollywood’s mythology with both tenderness and grit. Opening with a pulsing arpeggiated synth and hypnotic beat, the song quickly establishes its dreamlike, luscious and disquieting tension . Co-produced with Jim Wallis at London’s Strong Room Studios, the production balances shimmering retro textures with contemporary sharpness, evoking the nostalgic pop melancholy of ABBA while drawing comparisons to Weyes Blood and Suki Waterhouse.

At the heart of ‘Girls in Hollywood’ lies Lola’s striking vocal delivery, which balances smokiness, mournfulness, and magnetism. Her signature croon carries the story of a young woman lured by stardom, only to be left navigating exploitation, isolation, and the fading glow of broken dreams. The central image of a weary showgirl clutching to fragments of glamour is as cinematic as it is devastating. Accompanied by a stylish visualiser directed by Jack Satchell and Mars Washington, ‘Girls in Hollywood’ is a pop-noir elegy to fractured ambition.
