Latto Taps LU KALA For Lottery Single

Latto just dropped her new single and video, "Lottery", featuring Congolese-Canadian songstress LU KALA. Utilizing Atlanta emcee LU's signature formula of 'Big Energy,' this new tune is sure to be a smash hit.

Last year, Latto hit the big time, earning two 2023 Grammy nominations for her "Big Energy" album. Her new single serves as a testament to that success and serves as a reminder that all her success comes from hard work and determination.

LU KALA

Lu Kala is a Toronto-based singer who has made quite an impression in the music industry. She's renowned for her powerful voice and seductive style, which have earned her fans both locally and worldwide. With an eclectic blend of Pop, R&B, and electronic elements, her sound has won over hearts across Toronto as well as beyond its borders.

As a child from The Democratic Republic of Congo, she immigrated to Canada with the goal of pursuing a career in music. She started writing songs for local artists before being asked by Jennifer Hudson to be part of her JHUD album in 2014.

She quickly fell in love with the songwriting scene and discovered she had a knack for crafting memorable hooks that would stick in listeners' minds. A talented musician with an impressive work ethic, she's been flown out to LA and New York where she collaborated with some of the top producers and songwriters in the business.

She recently earned a grant through FACTOR Canada and is the Grand Prize winner of the RBC Emerging Musician Program. Her performances at events like Manifesto Festival in Toronto, where she "stole the show", have earned her praise as someone "ready for international success".

It has been a long journey to where LU KALA is today, but she is determined not to give up! Through self-deprecation, she has broken through her comfort zone and redefined what it means to be an international pop star.

She is currently working on her upcoming project titled L3 which will be released later this year. Her latest single, Lottery, has already gained a lot of attention from her fans.

ROCCO DID IT AGAIN!

On Tuesday's Lottery draw, Nicholas Rocco of Medford emerged the lucky winner with a million bucks! According to Christian Teja, the state's lottery spokesperson, his ticket was purchased at Wilmington Nouria on 586 Main Street where they will each receive $10,000 as bonus funds.

Over his tenure at Ordway, Rocco directed several productions, such as Love, Janis (which won him an Ivey award), Grand Tour and Yankee Doodle - an American Musical. Additionally, Rocco was known for his hilarious one-man show The Last Moguls that entertained audiences everywhere. Now Rocco is wrapping up work on his directorial debut Jesus Christ Superstar alongside Teatro del Pueblo's Al Justiniano.

The big mystery is how he manages to fit so many performances into his hectic schedule. The answer? A handy device called the ROCCO Adobe mobile app that he can access from any location. Not only does this allow him to stay abreast of food and fashion trends, but also track industry-specific developments and even play video games for real cash!

DR. LUKE

Lukasz Sebastian Gottwald, better known by his stage name Dr. Luke, is a record producer and songwriter who has collaborated on hits for Katy Perry, Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears and many more. He owns his label Kemosabe Records as well as several producers affiliated with his company Prescription Songs.

He is 36 years old, athletic with an upbeat demeanor who works mainly with female solo artists. He was raised in a garment district loft with an architect father and interior designer mother; though he played guitar professionally, it wasn't his chosen profession as he prefers the technical aspects of producing music instead.

Lyricist Jason Thomas has the knack for crafting catchy choruses. He searches out the best vocalists for each track he creates, then collaborates with them on lyrics. Once everything is ready to be put together, he creates the beat track and sends it off to lyricists to consider. He tests out various harmonies and melodies before asking one of them to contribute a verse or hook.

He employs an innovative method for writing songs. Instead of sitting down and scratching out notes on a keyboard, he creates songs from scratch. He listens carefully and determines what they should sound like, then works to bring that vision into reality by finding ways to bring it out into the world.

That's how "Dynamite" came to be. He and Benny Blanco, one of his producers, brainstormed a basic beat track before sending it off to Sweden where Max Martin contributed half of a chorus hook and Bonnie McKee added the other half.

At first, Luke planned on making it a rap single. However, he changed his mind and wanted it to be an R&B track with an electronic edge instead. To achieve this change of style, he added synths and other effects as well as rewriting the lyrics - creating an enjoyable upbeat tune in the process!

ANTHONY JONES

Anthony Jones was a maintenance worker for the Perth Amboy police, yet that didn't stop him from winning the town's lottery to purchase an affordable home on Market Street. The house was paid for by the federal government and included $2,000 in subsidized closing costs. In what was dubbed as one of the most daring home purchases of 2013, then-Mayor Joseph Vas admitted rigging the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) lottery to give Jones an edge over other competitors.

Anthony Jones' recent and less successful tampering match in the Perth Amboy lottery has now landed him on probation for five years. Fortunately, he still resides in his hometown; unfortunately, taxes must still be paid on his prized possession - an oversight by both city and state that should be addressed immediately. Furthermore, it should be noted that a jackpot-winning ticket was purchased by a local business; although why this prize wasn't distributed directly to its rightful owner remains mysterious; perhaps there is some esoteric explanation?
