Orlando Weeks’ highly anticipated 2024 album, ‘Loja’—Portuguese for ‘store’—was crafted between the vibrant cities of London and Lisbon. Recording took off in January 2023 at the stunning Chale Abbey Studios, with the talented Sergio Maschetzko producing alongside co-producer David Granshaw. In the final phases, Nathan Jerkins from BULLION added his unique touch through additional production and mixing.
The lead single, ‘Dig’, features Rhian Teasdale from Wet Leg and presents a compelling three-minute narrative of half-hearted arguments and rekindled promises. This album showcases contributions from notable collaborators such as Katy J Pearson, Tony Njoku, Oliver Hamilton (Caroline), and Alejandro Aranda (Scary Pool Party). Key musical elements come from Orlando’s long-time live collaborators: Sami El-Enany, Luca Caruso, William Doyle, and Alexander Painter.
‘Loja’ serves as a love letter to Orlando’s new home, beautifully blending fantastical themes with stark realism. With its diverse track listing, including hits like ‘Best Night’ and ‘Tomorrow’, this album is a must-listen. Don’t miss the chance to immerse yourself in this mesmerizing collection of new music!
