Lola Brooke has been a force to be reckoned with in the music scene, and this past week has been no exception. With all eyes on her, Lola captures the spotlight once again with the unveiling of her latest creation: the official music video for “Shelter Baby (Be That Bitch)” from her debut project, Dennis Daughter.
“Shelter Baby” holds a special place in Lola’s heart, serving as a central piece of her project. Produced by Reefa Music, the track features a haunting and action-packed beat that perfectly complements Lola’s storytelling lyrics. In “Shelter Baby“, Lola seamlessly weaves together themes of self-confidence and resilience, drawing from her own experiences as a teenager working in temporary housing. Through her lyrics, she celebrates her ascent from “Shelter Baby” to a self-made success, emphasizing the determination that propelled her forward despite the odds stacked against her. Lines like “Just to be that bi**h/ It took some time for me to be that lit” encapsulate her journey of self-discovery and empowerment.
What sets “Shelter Baby” apart is Lola’s raw honesty and unwavering confidence. The contrast between the club-worthy beat and the introspective lyrics showcases Lola’s transparency, as she refuses to seek sympathy from others. Instead, the track serves as a celebration of Lola’s coming-of-age story, embracing her identity and unapologetically owning her truth.
The music video, directed by Ben Marc, serves as a visual representation of Lola’s narrative, juxtaposing images of her past with her present reality. Set in a replica of a shabby shelter, Lola delivers her verses with conviction, surrounded by reminders of her upbringing – from bullet-wounded windows to tattered blinds. This raw and unfiltered portrayal adds depth to the song’s message, underscoring Lola’s authenticity as an artist who stays true to her roots. With her bold fashion choices and powerful presence, Lola exudes confidence and strength, captivating viewers with her magnetic energy.
Beyond its thematic richness, “Shelter Baby (Be That Bi**h)” is a standout track on “Dennis Daughter“, a 12-track project that showcases Lola’s versatility as a musician. From the infectious energy of “Disrespectful” to the soulful collaboration with Bryson Tiller on “You”, the album offers a diverse range of sounds that further solidify Lola’s place in the music industry.
Last week, in addition to releasing the deluxe version of Dennis Daughter and unveiling a music video to “Neighborhood Hero“, Lola announced her first headline tour — ‘Back To Business Tour‘. The nine-city tour kicks off in June and has the self-proclaimed Big Gator making stops in Toronto, Chicago, Florida (Tampa, Orlando), Atlanta, North Carolina, Philly, Washington D.C., and her home state, New York.

With each new release, Lola Brooke continues to solidify her status as a rising star in the music industry. Her fearless approach to music and unwavering authenticity have garnered her a dedicated fanbase, and with the ‘Back To Business Tour‘ on the horizon, Lola’s star is only set to rise higher.
