There are singers whose voices soothe, others that inspire, and a rare few whose sound seems to arrive from somewhere beyond, untethered, celestial, untouchable. LP belongs firmly in that last category.

Born Laura Pergolizzi, the artist known simply as LP has carved out a career that resists the machinery of pop while simultaneously rewriting it. With a whistle register that pierces like glass, a rasp that carries both gravel and grace, and a resonance that feels less like vocal production and more like divine transmission, LP’s voice is at once unmistakable and unforgettable.
It’s a sound that doesn’t just sing, it testifies.
Breaking Through with “Lost on You”
For years, LP worked behind the scenes, penning songs for heavyweights like Rihanna, Cher, and Christina Aguilera. But in 2015, a song of LP’s own, Lost on You, changed everything.

A lament disguised as an anthem, “Lost on You” became a global sensation, especially in Europe, where audiences immediately recognized its haunting quality. For many listeners, the track became more than a breakup song; it was a catharsis. LP’s voice doesn’t simply deliver lyrics, it drags you through the fire of loss and deposits you, scarred but stronger, on the other side.
The Fire Still Burns
Albums like Heart to Mouth and songs such as House on Fire show the breadth of LP’s artistry. LP writes with disarming directness, there is no filter, no polite packaging of pain or passion. LP’s music acknowledges what professionals, creatives, and dreamers of all stripes know but rarely admit: that private life and inner turmoil are not separate from success, but its shadow companion.

It’s why LP’s songs resonate so profoundly with listeners navigating love, ambition, and identity in the modern world. Whether you’re rebuilding an empire, balancing the demands of immigrant ambition against the weight of personal heartbreak, or simply trying to keep the chaos of professional and private life from colliding, LP’s voice becomes a reminder that vulnerability and strength are not opposites, but mirrors.
A Voice Like No Other
What makes LP singular is not only their writing but LP’s vocal instrument, an elastic, soaring range that defies the laws of gravity and expectation. To hear LP sing live is to watch a human being channel something almost inhuman: a raw and holy electricity.
Where others have beautiful voices, LP’s voice is exceptional in the truest sense, an exception to the ordinary. It is a reminder that music, at its peak, does more than entertain. It reveals.
The Soundtrack of Resilience
In a culture that often isolates professional triumph from personal struggle, LP’s music collapses the divide. They embodies what so many fear to admit: that heartbreak, identity, and resilience are not distractions from the pursuit of greatness, but the very soil from which it grows.
For those who’ve ever felt undone by love yet compelled to keep building, LP’s voice is not just accompaniment, it’s sanctuary.
In LP’s music, we don’t just hear an artist. We hear the sound of survival, of defiance, of life insisting on beauty despite, or perhaps because of, its fractures.
LP doesn’t just sing songs. They sings the truth.
