Lisa St. Lou pours the ink of her soul into an emotional and guttural performance in her latest single, “Anybody But You,” out now via Hylo Entertainment. A union of retro-soul with modern-day narration, this track is a heartfelt admission dressed in sumptuous, vintage-influenced production.
“Anybody But You,” from the first note, draws you into a world of nostalgia and regret, where love falls through the cracks, leaving nothing but memories and a longing that will not die. Lisa’s voice, slick with emotion, glides over a groove that feels timeless and newly minted. This is a song to dance through the pain because sometimes, the only way to find your way through what’s been lost is to move to the rhythm.
Lisa dubs this song a happy/sad anthem about screwing up and then realizing, far too late, that life was never quite as good without that person in it. It’s a sentiment anyone can appreciate with the late-night thinking, the what-ifs, and the slow crystallization that nobody else can occupy that space. But rather than wallowing, Lisa transforms heartache into a toe-tapping melody, a reminder that even the worst circumstances can still have a groove. Her soulful, raw, and honest signature sound might leave tracks on every lyric, note, and painful pause. And whether you’ve been through heartbreak or enjoy a good soul record, “Anybody But You” is bound to hit.
As a St. Louis native who splits her time between the city and both Brooklyn and Paris, Lisa St. Lou brings a global perspective to the music she creates, though her roots are deeply ensconced in classic soul. This new offering demonstrates her power as a voice and her capacity to turn personal agony into something universally resonant.
