Experience the enchanting sounds of Orlando Weeks with his 2024 album, LOJA (meaning ‘store’ in Portuguese). This stunning collection was crafted between London and Lisbon, capturing the essence of both cities. Recording began in January 2023 at the picturesque Chale Abbey Studios, with Orlando’s longtime collaborator Sergio Maschetzko producing. The album also showcases contributions from Nathan Jerkins (BULLION) for additional production and mixing.
The lead single, ‘Dig’, featuring Rhian Teasdale from Wet Leg, delivers a compelling narrative wrapped in a captivating melody. With themes of nostalgia and contemporary life, LOJA invites listeners into a world where dreams and reality intertwine.
Collaborators on this project include Katy J Pearson, Tony Njoku, Oliver Hamilton (Caroline), and Alejandro Aranda (Scary Pool Party). The core musical team comprises seasoned performers Sami El-Enany, Luca Caruso, William Doyle, and Alexander Painter. With lyrics that blend fantasy and stark realism, LOJA is a heartfelt tribute to Orlando’s new home.
