Pop artist Lauv returned to the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge with an intimate performance that highlighted his personal and artistic evolution. After more than two years away, Lauv captivated listeners with his track “Love U Like That” and a stirring cover of Miley Cyrus’s “Used to Be Young,” both of which reflected his recent period of introspection and change.
No longer the pastel-clad figure with bleached hair, Lauv appeared more grounded and self-assured, wearing his natural curls and a blazer. This outward shift mirrors his inward journey toward self-acceptance, including the candid revelations about his sexuality. Lauv’s openness marks a turning point in his public narrative, allowing him to embrace his true self both on and off the stage.
His personal life has not been without struggles, as Lauv revealed. Mental health battles, worsened by pandemic isolation and struggles with alcohol cast a shadow over his rise to fame. However, choosing sobriety has brought him into a healthier, more centered phase of life, where self-care and healing take priority.
Now looking toward the future, Lauv is ready to share his creative transformation with the world. His upcoming 2024 album promises a richer, more authentic sound—one that reflects his journey toward self-discovery and emotional clarity. As he prepares to embark on this new chapter, fans can expect a Lauv who’s not just redefined by change but empowered by it, offering a musical experience shaped by newfound depth and understanding.
