Lola Young Releases James Blake–Backed Single 'From Down Here'

The song follows her recovery from last year’s onstage collapse, signaling a restart of her public work with upcoming festival and U.K. tour dates.

Overview

  • Young released the single "From Down Here" on May 22, 2026, her first new music since last year’s album I’m Only F**king Myself.
  • She said the track grew from a burst of inspiration the day after the GRAMMYs and was recorded with James Blake, who is credited as a co-writer and co-producer.
  • Additional writing and production credits on the song are listed for Jameela Jamil and Dominic Maker, with Blake contributing vocals, keyboards, and strings.
  • The release builds on Young’s return to performing earlier in 2026 after collapsing onstage at All Things Go last year and canceling a North American tour.
  • Young is scheduled to play All Things Go (DC and New York), Austin City Limits, and a June U.K. run including Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, and two London dates, marking a clear re-entry into live touring.
