DUBAI: French Algerian singer Lolo Zouai took to social media on Monday night to share snaps of her performance at China’s Strawberry Music Festival — all while she works on a new album.
Zouai, who divides her time between Brooklyn and Los Angeles, took to Instagram to share images and videos of the concert with her 298,000 followers. “72 hours in China,” she wrote, mere weeks after she took to social media to tell fans she is working on a new, unnamed, album.
The music sensation performed crowd favorites such as “High Highs to Low Lows” and “Desert Rose” at the concert in late May, sparking enthusiastic sing-alongs, cheers and a flurry of camera flashes from fans in attendance.
She stepped on stage wearing a dress featuring a yellow jersey T-shirt and a colorful pleated skirt with a tulle underskirt.
The songwriter and producer, known for her unique blend of R&B, club-pop and hip-hop, has gained an international fanbase for her dynamic stage presence and genre-blending music.
Her career highlights include the release of her debut album “High Highs to Low Lows” in 2019 and her follow-up album “PLAYGIRL” in 2022.
In April, Zouai took to Instagram to celebrate the five-year anniversary of her debut album. “Happy 5 years to the album that started it all (sic),” she wrote. “Thank you to all my lil lo-riders for being on this ride with me from the beginning (sic).”
To celebrate the milestone, Zouai announced to her fans that she brought back merchandise pieces originally created at the time of her debut album. The collection included sweatshirts and T-shirts featuring Zouai’s name, some of which were signed.
Meanwhile, her follow up record “PLAYGIRL” featured 13 songs.
After the album’s release in October 2022, the singer was featured on a billboard in New York’s Times Square.
She shared a video of herself posing in front of the billboard with her fans. “I always said that one day, I would be on a billboard in Times Square. Today is that day,” she said in the short clip.
“Manifestation and hard work works,” she added.
The singer, who has over 300 million digital streams, embarked on an expansive tour for the album, showcasing her music to audiences across North America and Europe in 2023. The tour, which included 30 stops, featured cities in the US, France, Canada, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.
