Early life

Lola was born to Scottish singer and former Eurythmics lead vocalist Annie Lennox and Israeli film-producer Uri Fruchtmann in 1990.[3] She started learning piano at age seven, and as a teenager would often sneak into her parents' basement to record songs she had written.[4] She was raised in London, England, along with her sister Tali Lennox, before her parents' divorce in 2000.[5] Her mother would later remarry American doctor Mitch Besser in a private London ceremony in September 2015, with the two daughters in attendance.[6]

Music career

After studying classical singing at the Royal Academy of London, Lola began her career in music.[7] She signed with XIX Entertainment, hiring Simon Fuller as her manager.[8][9] Lennox counts musical inspirations like Dusty Springfield, Nina Simone, and Ella Fitzgerald as influences.[10] She first performed alongside Ciara at Vogue's Fashion Experience Dubai in October, 2014.[11] She first appeared live on television alongside her mother to perform vocals in the PBS concert special, Annie Lennox: Nostalgia in Concert in January, 2015.[12] In October 2017, she opened for Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, the band formed by the son of Willie Nelson.[13] In 2019, Lennox sang and co-wrote songs for the soundtrack of the BBC/Discovery Channel docu-series Serengeti, including the show's opening title theme, with Goldfrapp's Will Gregory.[14][15][16][17][18] Lennox's debut single 'In the Wild' was released through AWAL on February 7, 2020 alongside the accompanying music video, directed by Natalie Johns.[4][18][19][20] Idolator called the track a "soaring ballad" that "showcases the Brit's powerful pipes and poetic pen... a most auspicious debut."[21] In April 2020, she performed a duet with Annie Lennox for the historic One World: Together at Home concert event organized by Global Citizen and curated by singer Lady Gaga, in support of the World Health Organization, singing a rendition of the Eurythmics track 'There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)'.[22][23][24][25] This version of the song was later included in 'One World: Together at Home The Album', a compilation album featuring all performances from the event as individual tracks, and was made available on all major streaming platforms to raise funds.[26][27] Lennox's second single 'Pale' was released April 17, 2020.[28] The song "examines Lola’s own personal battle with grief over the tragic loss of a loved one", and was co-written with Andy Stochansky, produced by H. Scott Salinas, and co-produced by Annie Lennox.[29] Sarah Rodman of Entertainment Weekly described it as a "vibrant piano ballad", naming it one of the "five best tracks of the week" upon its release.[30] The accompanying video for 'Pale' was shot entirely under quarantine by Lennox's boyfriend, Canadian model Braeden Wright, and was released on Vevo on May 27, 2020.[31][32][2] Lennox's third single, 'Back At Wrong,' was released in July 2020.[33][34][35]

Modelling career

Lennox first appeared in Teen Vogue alongside sister Tali in 2008, and later, in Vanity Fair.[5][36][37][34] She was featured in the Spring/Summer 2010 campaign for Topshop, and is signed to Next Management in London.[38][5][39]

Lola currently lives in Los Angeles with her partner, Canadian model Braeden Wright.[2][32][40]
