Lyrics:
Work
Ain’t talkin’ no 9 to 5
You gotta work
Every day and every night
You gotta work, work, work
Ain't talkin’ no 9 to 5
You gotta work (work, work for this, yeah)
You gotta work for it
You gotta go all night
I’m talkin’ overtime
I’m talkin’ 6 to 9
(You gotta work)
You gotta use your brain
Know how to use that thing
Make it go cha-ching
(You gotta work)
Ooo, Ooo
Come on baby and punch my clock
Ooo, Ooo
Don’t care if you tired, don’t you stop
Work
Ain’t talkin’ no 9 to 5
You gotta work
Every day and every night
You gotta work, work, work
Ain't talkin’ no 9 to 5
You gotta work (work, work for this, yeah)
You gotta work for it
Okay I been workin all night all night
Oh my work it out until my mind is all mangled
Why I gotta work when I look good at all angles
So misunderstood like I’m whole VS angel
Say you got so much to offer
Same time you drink my bath water
Chivalry’s dead baby ash to ash
If you eat but I ain’t fed then I’m passing that next
Ooo, Ooo
Come on baby and punch my clock
Ooo, Ooo
Don’t care if you tired, don’t you stop
Work (ahhh)
Ain’t talkin’ no 9 to 5
You gotta work (ahhh)
Every day and every night
You gotta work, work, work (ahhh)
Ain't talkin’ no 9 to 5
You gotta work (work, work for this, yeah)
You gotta work for it
Ooo
Ms. LU KALA

LU KALA – Pretty Girl Era | Vevo DSCVR Artists To Watch 2024

“I don’t feel the pressure to change myself. I’m here because I am myself.” That kind of self-realization lies at the core of Lu Kala’s ethos; it was there from the very beginning with her first release, “DCMO (Don’t Count Me Out).” Over glossy snaps, claps, and trap hats, she delivered her first sermon about body positivity. “I know I’m big girl/And you are afraid to claim me… I’ll never be that picture baby/But I lie when I say that I don’t care what you think.” It’s that last line that really makes the difference, because it’s important to acknowledge that self-doubt and self-confidence aren’t mutually exclusive. Life ain’t always sunshine and roses. Lu simply wants to lead listeners towards more moments of inner peace. “Inspiring people keeps me motivated,” the Rihanna fan told us. “I just feel like I didn’t see a lot of Black pop stars growing up.” Thanks to the Lizzos and The Weeknds of the world, representation has improved in the past decade or two. But Lu’s ready to take it a step further. She talks dental insecurities on “Love Shit.” On her new single “Hotter Now,” she claims that what doesn’t kill you makes you, in fact, hotter. Basically, if you need a cheerleader in your life, this former songwriter for Jennifer Hudson awaits you with pom poms in hand. You just gotta press play. The funked out “Pretty Girl Era” has been a staple on pop playlists since it arrived last winter. Listen to it when you’re in front of the vanity. Lu promises it’ll help make you feel like the “baddest bitch” when you go out. By the way, if you like the groove of that one, you’ll love her “Lottery” collab with Latto - which shot into the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. These performances of “PGE” and “Hotter Now” are prime examples of what it looks like when a pop artist is totally in their bag.

We made this short to homage June 27th #CanadianMulticulturalismDay. And to start a conversation about #diversity - which includes the many people of Canada who are thought to be different when we’re in fact all the same – languages, cultures, physicalities, sexualities, religions, beliefs, and ideas. We must certainly acknowledge and honour Canada’s Indigenous people are the original and rightful owners of these lands.
The Question: Do you believe diversity is or is not a trend? Why?
Please kindly watch and share to help progress the conversation.

This video profiles the social activism that created Eva's Initiatives for Homeless Youth. It was founded out of the community advocacy of Eva Smith, a Black community advocate who challenged the education system to create better outcomes for Black students.

Through her work she realized that hidden homelessness was also an issue in the community. In 1989 she formed the North York Emergency Home for Youth. Her passion and advocacy resulted in the construction of our first shelter—Eva’s Place—in 1994, one year after her death.

Eva’s works with young people 16-24 and provides shelter, transitional housing and supportive programming.

Fall, 1988. A certain day, a certain girl and a very certain make up artist and, of course, the very certain product of the convergence of points of view, generosity and a willingness to soar into the creative unknown. The girl, Shalom, the make up artist, David, the boys, Frank and Frank, the art director, John, and the photographer, Rico. The result, a timeless, profundity worthy of Baudelaire’s treatises on Beauty.

Summer, 2014. David, more artist than man these days, Alvaro, the photographer whose signature sparkle is indeed a Signature Sparkle and myself - each of us given charge to meet Beauty where we see it. We saw it. Alvaro, David, Dorci, and I, we saw Beauty. The result, a subtly refined, aspirational and equally timeless portrait of Beauty.

So, what’s happened between these two points? And how do you, or I, address the issue of disseminating the value(s) of Beauty, Modernity, Cosmetics and Gorgeous Confidence to an audience populated by Already Gorgeous You?
