LÙISA

Hamburg-based artist LÙISA's fourth album will be released in spring 2026. Call Me The Witch is a feminist manifesto that draws its hypnotic power from LÙISA's discovery of her female rage as a superpower, transforming it into creative energy and playful lightness. The music she wrote and produced in her Hamburg studio is a pop-music feast for all the senses. It tells of the search for and discovery of the magical in a disenchanted world—and of using inner darkness and rage productively. After completing all the tours and concerts for her previous album, New Woman—including at the Iceland Airwaves Festival and as support for Arlo Parks—LÙISA stepped back for a while to acquire a deeper understanding of music production. In her small wooden studio in Hamburg, she created her most personal work to date, and she has achieved a tremendous debut as a music producer: Her sound hovers between ethereal synth pads, dark '80s guitars, and driving drum beats. The special quality of LÙISA's art lies in how she draws influences from Kate Bush, the Cocteau Twins, and Fleetwood Mac to create something entirely her own, set exclusively in the here and now, timeless yet uncompromisingly contemporary. She was awarded the Female* Producer Prize for her work.
