Lola Blanc
Cinematic art-pop with a dark, theatrical edge. Sharp synths and defiant vocals for when you're done playing nice and ready to burn it all down.

Lola Blanc (Kandice Melonakos) is a multi-disciplinary artist whose musical identity is inextricably linked to her work as a filmmaker and writer. Emerging in the early 2010s as a 'retro pop' stylist, she gained significant industry traction as a songwriter, notably co-writing Britney Spears' 'Ooh La La.'
However, her solo trajectory shifted toward a much darker, more experimental art-pop sound. Her music is characterized by 'dark cabaret' influences, heavy synth-pop production, and a preoccupation with themes of power dynamics and psychological horror. This shift was solidified by her work with the Fatale Collective and her public discourse regarding her upbringing in a cult, which informs the high-stakes, survivalist tone of her lyrics. Critically, she is positioned alongside artists like Allie X or Natalia Kills, but with a more explicit focus on cinematic horror aesthetics. Her evolution from a bubblegum-adjacent songwriter to a self-directed auteur of dark pop has earned her a dedicated cult following within the indie-pop and darkwave scenes.
