Almost ten years ago, New York singer LP (Laura Pergolizzi) took the stage for what would become one of the most important performances of her life. This intimate acoustic set featured a song called “Lost On You,” which has since taken the world by storm. With an unbelievable 1.4 billion views on YouTube and over 196,000 comments, fans everywhere have been mesmerized by her powerful voice and raw emotion.
“Lost On You” was first released as a single in 2015 and later appeared on LP’s EP “Death Valley” and her fourth album, also titled “Lost On You,” in 2016. Although the song reached number one in thirteen different countries, it seemed to fade into the background of the indie-rock scene for a while.
But then, something amazing happened. The live performance of “Lost On You” resurfaced on YouTube, drawing in new listeners like a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered. From the very first note, LP’s one-of-a-kind voice grabs attention, leaving both longtime fans and first-time listeners absolutely stunned by her authenticity.
In this now-legendary clip, LP, who was 34 at the time, showcases her unique and electrifying vocals. Her voice has a mystical, haunting quality, reminiscent of Stevie Nicks, yet she brings her own edge with sharp, unexpected tones and her signature vibrato, similar to Marc Bolan. The song’s melodies are unpredictable and fascinating, especially during the middle eight, before launching into one of the catchiest choruses you’ll ever hear.
LP’s musical journey started in 2001 with her debut album, “Heart-Shaped Scar.” Since then, she has released six more albums, including 2023’s “Love Lines.” But none of her other songs have reached the massive heights of “Lost On You,” turning this once-underrated track into a worldwide indie rock sensation.
Even if you don’t know LP by name, you’ve probably heard some of the songs she’s written for other artists. She has co-written hits like Rihanna’s “Cheers (Drink to That)” and Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful People,” along with many other hidden gems in the music industry.
After reaching over a billion listeners with her distinct and unforgettable voice, LP has left thousands of new fans in awe. One listener shared, “I put on a random playlist while working, and I HAD to stop what I was doing to come over and see who the hell was singing this song.” Another fan wrote, “I’ve never heard a voice like that before in my life,” while someone else pointed out, “Can we all agree the band is also top-notch?”
With a voice that stands out from the crowd and an undeniable passion for music, LP continues to win over hearts around the world. Her viral hit “Lost On You” keeps gaining new fans every day, proving that true artistry never fades. If you haven’t already, dive into LP’s music and experience the magic for yourself!
