On Tuesday, November 12th, Luke Kolar spoke with Martina Car, also known as Lola’s Ghost, a new alternative pop artist whose ballads incorporate digitalized synths, hypnotizing piano, and cryptic lyrics. Her newest record, All the Fears, was released last June, but it remains a hidden gem of the behemoth modern streaming services. Kolar and Car delved into the album’s creation and mysteries over the course of the interview, as well as the origin of Lola’s Ghost herself.

Flanked on all sides by fluorescent tubes of pulsating light, the singer-songwriter captured the audience with the power of his voice. Greyson’s stage-presence, complemented by a delicate command over his body movement, a quick outfit-change, and personal vignettes, made for a truly remarkable experience. I got the chance (pun intended!) to catch up with Greyson before his show, to talk about his newest album, portraits, and his life as a child-sensation turned practiced musician.
