LO LA’s Newest Collaboration With Marcíto Is The Perfect Slow Jam
Samantha Colleran, November 2020
After the incredible success of her cover of Lana Del Rey’s “Queen of Disaster” which racked up over 4 million Spotify streams, and her incredible song of the summer “Cherries & Lemonade”, LO LA has made a return to bring us all “Dirty Clothes”! This marks LO LA’s eleventh single release, and her first collaboration on a song! She worked with her friend Marcíto, who raps on the track.
The song came about during the beginning of quarantine, when there wasn’t much to do while we were all locked up in our homes. LO LA said during the beginning of the COVID pandemic, she had a lot of time to think about the past, and “Dirty Clothes” came about. The lyrics are reflective of a toxic relationship and not being able to get out of that relationship no matter how hard you try to break it off. LO LA sings from her own point of view, while the rap section sung by Marcíto is from the point of view of the other half of the couple.
“Dirty Clothes” is a slow jam, the instrumentals are spacey and LO LA’s voice is smooth and perfectly flows with the drum track. “Baby I know my room looks crazy/ Please ignore the clothing on the floor/ Didn’t expect that you’d be in it/ If I had known I would’ve cleaned it more” LO LA sings effortlessly in the chorus. The alternating points of view on the verses add a unique spin to the song, it’s something new for LO LA’s sound and I hope to hear more of this on her future debut album which is in the works!
You can listen to “Dirty Clothes” on Apple Music, Spotify, or any other preferred streaming service! Be sure to follow LO LA on Tik Tok, Twitter, and Instagram so you can stay up to date on all of future releases, and check out her Linktree to see all of her previous releases! Congratulations LO LA and Marcíto on the collaboration!
One quick note for those who celebrate: I hope you all have a safe, healthy, and very happy Thanksgiving!

Trippy background music. Also liked that you linked the video. Thanks again for bringing music to my attention that I may not normally hear.
