“Yeah, I’m in my P.G.E., baby / Oh, yeah, oh, yeah / So glamorous.” Congolese Canadian 🇨🇬🇨🇦 singer LU KALA is in her “Pretty Girl Era!” Exhibit A, the confident, pretty, and unforgettable chorus: “I don’t care, I’m in my pretty girl era / I’ma stare when I see myself in the mirror, oh-oh / ‘Tis the season, it’s that hottie time of the year / I don’t care, I’m in my pretty girl era / I don’t care.” Damn right she doesn’t care! “Pretty Girl Era” is the fifth track from her brief 2025 album, No Tears On This Ride. LU KALA co-wrote “Pretty” with Madison Love, Lukasz Gottwald (Dr. Luke), and Rocco Valdes.

“Pretty Girl Era” features a fabulous, danceable beat, fitting for a pretty girl! Overall, this pop cut is well-produced with Dr. Luke working behind the boards. The sound isn’t brand-new (Luke has been doing Luke things for a while), but it is highly effective with its sunny-sounding vibes. LU KALA sings confidently and brings plenty of personality to the track. She shines in the rhythmic, tuneful melodies during the verses. “Wake up gorgeous every morning / I’ma put a ring on it,” she sings in the first verse, adding, “Fourteen karats, horse and carriage / Cinderella, I’m that bitch.” Woo! In the second, she confidently asserts, “Giving sassy, giving body / Wanna give myself a bow,” adding, “Drippin’ head to toe / Sexy, yeah I know.” The chorus, highlighted earlier, is fabulous. Ultimately, “Pretty Girl Era” is a two-and-a-half-minute, surefire vibe.  Yes, LU KALA is feeling herself, but in an empowering, positive way.  There is nothing wrong with loving and uplifting yourself, particularly those of us ridden with self-esteem issues.  Speak that pretty girl or pretty boy era into existence 🙌!
