Lulu Leloup’s March lands as a beautifully understated exploration of love, loss, and everything that exists in between.
The Beirut/Dubai-based singer-songwriter taps into a vintage jazz and blues aesthetic, but filters it through a modern lens that feels refreshingly honest. The result is a project that feels both timeless and entirely of the moment.
Across the EP, Lulu’s songwriting shines with a natural conversational tone. There’s an ease to the way she delivers lines that might otherwise feel heavy, allowing humour and vulnerability to coexist without friction. (If you’re gonna break my heart, would you do it after) March stands out as a perfect example, playful in concept, yet undeniably rooted in real emotional weight.
"March is a collection of songs about love, heartbreak, and the things we almost left behind," Lulu explains. "The kind of moments that feel both devastating and slightly amusing in the same breath."
Sonically, March leans into minimalism. The arrangements are delicate and intentional, giving Lulu’s voice room to take centre stage. It’s here that she truly excels, her vocal delivery is warm, expressive, and filled with subtle inflections that add depth to every phrase. Tracks like I Guess You Loved Me Until You Didn’t highlight her ability to convey complex emotions with remarkable simplicity.
There’s also a strong sense of narrative continuity throughout the project. Each song feels connected, contributing to an overarching story of growth and acceptance. Greener, in particular, stands out as a moment of quiet triumph, signalling a return to artistry and a departure from past constraints.
Ultimately, March is a project that rewards close listening. Lulu Leloup has created an EP that feels personal yet widely relatable, offering a space for reflection that feels both comforting and cathartic.
“Lulu Leloup’s March EP captures the bittersweet duality of heartbreak; poignant yet wry, intimate yet timeless,” shares music publicist Danielle Holian, Decent Music PR. “Each track is a masterclass in storytelling, blending jazz and blues influences with modern emotional insight. It’s the kind of record that makes you feel seen, laugh quietly at life’s ironies, and press replay before it’s even over."
