She found sanctuary from the world, particularly when her parents separated, by retreating into herself, and channelled her feelings into writing. Lou had a life-changing moment which encouraged her to share her voice with the world.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lou&#8217;s first single, &#8216;Beaten&#8217; was released in April this year. The accompanying music video for the track was made with rising star director Eva Dolezalova, who captures perfectly the torment and emotion in Lou&#8217;s lyrics and music. The clip features sweeping shots of the beaches in and around Malibu, including some particularly evocative visuals under the world-famous Santa Monica pier. &#8216;Beaten&#8217; was originally a poem written about abandonment and the need for self-reliance, and Lou&#8217;s sublime vocals are stirring, with complex layers.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Find Lou online on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lousmusic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/lousmusic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a>, and her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lou.live\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website<\/a>. &#8216;Beaten&#8217; is available to stream and download from <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/4LlJh7Tq2fJGfu0WrDJVvX?si=m1yDQkFmSdyO_LS3ysEBSw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spotify<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/artist\/lou\/1370152314\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iTunes<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/tidal.com\/artist\/9739985\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tidal<\/a>.
