Kelsey Lu Announces 'So Help Me God' Album, Shares "Running to Pain" Video

Following up on 2019's Blood, Kelsey Lu is poised to release So Help Me God, their debut album on Dirty Hit, set to drop on June 12. Co-produced by Lu, Jack Antonoff, and Yves Rothman, the album boasts an impressive lineup of collaborators including Kim Gordon, Sampha, Kamasi Washington, and Lady Jess.

The lead single, "Running to Pain," showcases a theatrical evolution of Lu's signature chamber-pop sound. The track is accompanied by a video directed by Savanah Leaf, starring Titane actor Garance Marillier.

Lu describes So Help Me God as a culmination of seven years of transformation. "Sonically and emotionally it holds so many different worlds at once—devotion and desire, collapse and becoming—trying to make sense of what it means to break, to believe, to long for something without seeing it clearly, and to be reborn again and again and again."

While it's been a few years since Blood, Lu has remained active, releasing the Blood Transfusion EP and collaborating with artists like Jamie xx, Yves Tumor, and Boys Noize. They've also contributed scores to Netflix’s Daughters and A24’s Earth Mama. Fans can catch Lu performing new material at Blue Note Jazz Clubs in New York and Los Angeles next month.
