This week I've been listening to the debut album Gore, by Belgian-Congolese-Rwandan songwriter/singer/rapper Lous and the Yakuza on repeat. The entire album is sung/rapped in French, and although je ne parle pas, her life story behind her short 24 years speaks as the back drop - not to mention the presence of her musical influences Whitney Houston and Mozart. Check out this profile from the New York Times outlining her inspiring upbringing, and her Instagram for some international cool-girl realness. Listen to the vibe-y Gore here, and again.. don’t forget your dancing shoes.

Listen: Lous and the Yakuza
