Lojal?
Indian artist/act Lojal has been slowly navigating the music industry with various forms and approaches that never seem to be in accordance to norms. Lojal’s live acts and studio materials all encapsulate various universes of the artist’s repertoire and depth. Merging alternative forms of music including and not limited to r&b/hip-hop, soul, jazz, electronic music, blues and more; Lojal is an experience. - Underrated, sidelined and ever challenged to being better.
Lojal, pronounced "loyaal," isn't just a name—it's a shape-shifting, music-making extravaganza! Initially the brainchild of the talented Martin J. Haokip- Lojal has evolved into a live performance, a studio persona, a festival favourite, and a full-blown business. With rave reviews and high-voltage shows, Lojal's music is a force to be reckoned with.
In a world where things get crazier by the minute, Lojal's tunes offer a refreshing escape, tapping into raw emotions and igniting the passion of music lovers everywhere. Genre : Music.
"...a formidable full-length album whose density beggars belief. Straddling the worlds of Alternative, RnB and Soul, enmeshing Joji, Frank Ocean and Moses Sumney, Lojal has an envious eye for detail that normally takes years and initial stumbles to actualise. Lyrically, he hopscotches between loneliness, violence and faith while crafting melodies that are tender and immense.
From Anurag Tagat’s review for AHH: “Phase comes across as a journey that gets pretty damn intense, but by then you realize you’ve quickly tumbled down the sonic rabbit hole even somewhat unwittingly.”
- A Humming Heart, 2020
"It might be premature to say, especially for an artist who's practically brand new, but lojal's debut has all the tellings of a potentially great producer; and 'Phase', consequently, might be one of the most underrated album releases from the Indian alternative music landscape this year."
- Rolling Stones Magazine In., 2020
