    So Help Me God is a triumphant return whose sonic ambitions are split in two ways: classical swells don’t uplift the melodies at their finest, but the percussive focus makes Lu’s emotional arc evocative. It’s lopsided as a result, but still successfully delivers impactful moments along the way.

    Filled with lyrics that figure the world as place both vast and small, the album is the kind of monument to deeply felt emotion that fans of Ana Roxanne, Solange, Weyes Blood, and Fiona Apple will hold close to their chest.

    An immersive album that documents personal growth and brings their experimental ideas to fruition, completing a metamorphosis. ‘So Help Me God’ was worth the wait.

    For all the self-serious stylings of So Help Me God’s experimental chamber folk, there’s an undeniable element of play beneath these songs, reflected in Lu’s long list of collaborators.
