Lourdes “Lola” Leon Releases Debut Single “Lock&Key”

Lourdes “Lola” Leon is locking down her next career move…

The 25-year-old half-Cuban American fashion model and dancer, the daughter of Madonna, has followed in her famous mother’s footsteps by releasing her debut single “Lock&Key.”

Lourdes Leon, Leon released the single on Wednesday, August 24, under the moniker Lolahol, carving her own path in the music industry with the seductive club anthem.

“Lock&Key,” which was co-produced by Eartheater, arrives via her label Chemical X.

The song is also accompanied by a Eartheater-directed, Leon-choreographed music video that takes viewers through the model/dancer’s home of New York City and its outer boroughs.

Lourdes is Madonna’s daughter with Cuban-born dancer and fitness trainer Carlos Leon.

In October, the budding star sat down with longtime family friend, actress Debi Mazar, to talk about growing up with Madge for Interview magazine. Lourdes said that unlike her always-hustling, multi-media-megastar mom, she doesn’t have a “specific” career goal, preferring to dip into modeling and dance, but she also expressed some reticence to follow the family path into acting or music.

“Honestly, actors really annoy me and I can’t be around them. As for music, I can sing. I just don’t care about it. Maybe it’s too close to home,” she explained, adding that privacy is the key to keeping her life as normal as possible.

“I’ve been judged from a young age, but I think that privacy is the reason why I was able to keep my wits about me and not find myself in a mental asylum,” she said. “I want to figure out who the f–k I am before I let anyone else try to tell me who I am, you know?”

The 25-year-old Mexican & Cuban singer gave futbol fans something to remember at the opening of the 2022 UEFA Champions League final on Saturday, May 28.

The carnival-themed celebration, which Cabello paid homage to Cabello’s Latin heritage, featured a medley of “Senorita,” “Havana,” “Bam Bam” and “Don’t Go Yet.”

In a recent interview with Billboard, Cabello discussed weaving elements of her Latin culture into her new music and into every aspect of her life.

“My music, I always feel celebrates my heritage and my Cuban-Mexican heritage, so there’s going to be songs from Familia on there,” the singer said of the performance.

The performance was a natural fit for Cabello, who grew up watching the World Cup with her family every four years. “Out of every sport, it’s the only one I really understand and the one that gets me the most hyped,” she said. “I’ve always wanted to see a soccer game in person.”

Cabello has always been openly proud of her Latin culture, and on her recent studio album, Familia, that connection is deeply celebrated through vibrant instrumentals and a number of Spanish-language songs including “Celia,” “Hasta Los Dientes” featuring Maria Becerra and verses in “Lola” featuring Yotuel.

The UEFA Champions League final opening ceremony, presented by Pepsi, aired in more 200 countries and territories worldwide.

In addition to her Ed Sheeran collab “Bam Bam,” the album – to be releases on April 8 — will also feature appearance by Willow (“Psychofreak”), Maria Becerra (“Hasta Los Dientes”) and Yotuel (“Lola”).

Cabello previewed two more songs from the 12-track album earlier in the week via a 43-second video for a song with the lyrics “Hate it when you shut me out/ Acting like it’s your $h*t to figure out.” The moody track preview was followed by another video on Tuesday of a seemingly acoustic guitar-driven ballad, which repeatedly features the lyrics “Everyone at this party isn’t you.”

The snippets came ahead of Cabello’s anticipated “Familia: Welcome to the Family” concert, which will take place live on her TikTok at 7:00 pm ET on Thursday, April 7.

The streaming event will preview more songs from the album; the program has been described in a release as an “immersive and inventive music experience.”

Familia means community, I guess the opposite of you on your own,” said Cabello in a previous interview with Billboard. “It’s more you with other people land sharing in that joy and success, whatever that means. Interdependence realizing how important everybody is in your life. A lot of it is inspired by my relationships: My relationships to my family, my relationship to my friends, my relationship to my partner … it’s all about connections with other people, hence, Familia.”

Following this week’s TikTok concert and the release of her new album Cabello will appear on Saturday Night Live as the musical guest for the April 9 episode, which actor Jake Gyllenhaal will be hosting.

A Material Girl & More…

She’s only 14-years-old, but Lourdes “Lola” Leon is on the fast track to becoming a design superstar.

Last year, Lola, Madonna’s daughter with Cuban personal trainer and actor Carlos Leon, launched Material Girl, a fashion line of outerwear, party dresses and sleepwear geared towards teens that she created with her pop star mother. And, now she’s expanding the brand to feature skin care products and cosmetics.

The brand, sold exclusively at Macy’s, will now include scented body lotions, lip-glosses and nail polishes.

“It was so much fun getting to pick all of my favorite scents for the Material Girl body products and lip glosses,” Lola professes in a press release. “The body products have fun names like Wicked Watermelon, Flirty Fruit, Midnight Magnolia and Sinful Sugar. I chose scents that I loved.”

Lola, who says she really had a lot to learn when first launching Material Girl, now understands fashion “a lot better.”

“It was really hard at first because I didn’t know what I was doing,” Lola said in an interview with the Associated Press. “I was like, ‘You know, not a lot of people wear this. Let me just wear it.’ It wasn’t even that it looked good on me. I was just like, `Let me do this because not a lot of people are doing it.”

Lola, who works closely with her famous mom, admits the two of you don’t always agree on designs.

“I have to tell her, ‘Mom, it is the in thing. This is what kids are doing now. If you don’t do this, then it is going to suck.’ And then she usually gives in,” admits Lola.

So how does it feel to have a successful clothing line at such a young age?

“It is really cool,” admits Lola. “Also it is a lot of fun to know that my friends enjoy it, and to know that a lot of people enjoy it because it is also a lot of what I like.”

The new Material Girl beauty products will be available on August 15, while the outerwear and dress range won’t be in stores until October. All products are priced from $5-$89.50.
