Last year was a big one for LU KALA. Her music racked up millions of streams, she got her first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 with Latto's Lottery (which she's featured on), and she landed on just about every "artists to watch" list. In a conversation with Q's Tom Power, LU KALA talks about her new single, Nothing But Love, and why she wanted to venture into more vulnerable songwriting.
