Good Day Noir Family,
A pair of solemn piano chords opens “Second Skin”, immediately setting a twilight mood that lingers throughout the track.
Second Skin is Lola Demo’s Single Out Now
From the incipit, Lola Demo draws you into her world—not by shouting, but by speaking with the calm, commanding presence of someone who’s seen enough to mean every word.
Her voice is rich and warm, almost prophetic. It doesn’t just carry the melody; it steers the emotional direction of the song. When a subtle megaphone-like effect is applied to the vocals, the track shifts into something more psychedelic, like a signal from a dream you half-remember. There’s something hypnotic about the way she delivers her verses—low, assured, yet full of simmering tension.
Then comes the chorus: melodic, full-bodied, and emotionally resonant. At times it echoes the vocal phrasing of Annie Lennox, but the songwriting feels firmly rooted in a different terrain—there are hints of grunge melancholy, layered with the raw sincerity of underground icons. It’s this blend of grace and grit that gives “Second Skin” its depth.
There’s no overproduction here. You can sense that this is an artist who’s put in the years, refining her voice, her writing, her style. Lola Demo sounds like someone who has something real to say—and knows exactly how to say it.
The accompanying video, filmed with a vintage VHS aesthetic, is the perfect match. Its grainy textures and analog warmth bring you back to the golden age of MTV, when songs had room to breathe and visuals were an extension of the artist’s inner world. There’s a nostalgia that runs through both the audio and the visuals, not in a retro-for-retro’s-sake way, but in how it recalls a time when emotion and artistry stood at the forefront.
“Second Skin” doesn’t try to fit into trends. It exists on its terms—moody, mysterious, and entirely real.

Second Skin is Lola Demo’s Single Out Now
Lola Demo is a force of nature—an artist who lives and creates on the edge. Her music is a raw, unfiltered plunge into alternative and underground realms, blending grungy garage grit with darkly melodic beauty.
Originally part of Melbourne’s goth and alt-rock scenes—fronting ApetheCry and HardCandy—and later exploring dark electronica in the UK duo M1NK with Barry Snaith, Lola has continually evolved her sound while defying genre constraints.
Now based between Athens and the island of Ithaca, she records in her mobile studio StrudelGirl, committed to releasing at least one album or EP a year. Her lyrics cut deep—unapologetic, moody, and fiercely independent.
