SUMMARY:Kelsey Lu
LOCATION:New Century
DESCRIPTION:SJM Concerts Present\n\nKelsey Lu\n\nPlus Support\n\nIt’s bee
 n seven years since Kelsey Lu released their debut album Blood\, a baroque
 \, cello-led exorcism that introduced a singular voice moving between the 
 sacred and the sensual. Seven years after the release of their debut album
  Blood\, a baroque\, cello-led exorcism that introduced a singular voice m
 oving between the sacred and the sensual\, Kelsey Lu returns with So Help 
 Me God.\n\nDue June 2026 via Dirty Hit\, the 10-track album is Lu’s most
  fearless and fully realised work to date. Co-produced by Lu\, Jack Antono
 ff and Yves Rothman and mixed by Oli Jacobs\, features contributions from 
 Sampha\, Kamasi Washington\,Lady Jess and Kim Gordon. It is not a healing 
 record. It is a reckoning. Across its ten songs\, Lu traces a landscape of
  transformation — where devotion\, desire\, grief and transcendence coll
 apse into one another.\n\n“A lot has happened in the past seven years\, 
 a lot of healing and growth\,” Lu says. “But this isn’t really a hea
 ling album. It’s more of a reckoning. It’s about facing the parts of m
 yself I tried to move past\, and realizing they were still shaping everyth
 ing. This album is me standing in that truth instead of trying to transcen
 d it.”\n\nIf Blood was an introduction - lush\, devotional\, orchestral 
 - So Help Me God is an arrival. Harder. Hungrier. Willing to sit in the da
 rk.\n\nIn 2020\, during a residency at Palm Heights\,\, Lu set up a studio
  on the first day\, ready to begin again. When they reached for the only c
 ello they had ever owned for the past 20 years\, it cracked in their hands
 .\n\n“It felt really symbolic\,” they recall. “I went into a deep mo
 urning state. It holds memories. It holds energy. And suddenly\, that was 
 gone.”\n\nThe world outside was collapsing too. It was the early months 
 of COVID. Borders closed. Flights cancelled. Lu was stranded on the island
  - strict lockdown laws meant stepping outside could mean fines or jail ti
 me\; helicopters and drones circled overhead while police cars patrolled t
 he streets.\n\nMusic became survival.\n\nEach morning before sunrise\, Lu 
 would slip out\, sometimes hopping a fence into the grounds of an abandone
 d structure to film the dawn. Each evening they documented the sunset\, sh
 aring the moments online in a series that became HYDROHARMONIA - a daily r
 itual of sound and image meant to counter the dread and endless doomscroll
 ing of that moment.\n\nBoletos: https://dice.fm/event/g5qv3a-kelsey-lu-9th
