Kelsey lu stars in short film “So Help Me God” and Releases album of the same name
Kelsey Lu - So Help Me God (Short Film)
Californian singer, cellist, and visionary creative Kelsey Lu unveils her deeply anticipated new album So Help Me God alongside a short film of the same name — a dual release that speaks to the ambition and artistic integrity of an artist who has never been content to let the music speak alone. For Kelsey Lu, the visual and the sonic have always been two halves of the same whole, and So Help Me God is perhaps the most complete and fully realised expression of that philosophy yet.
The album arrives as a profound and deeply personal body of work — one that draws from the full breadth of Lu's extraordinary musicianship, weaving together her classical training as a cellist with her instinctive feel for soul, electronic music, and experimental sound to create something that exists in a world entirely its own. It is music that breathes and aches, that reaches into the quietest and most honest corners of human experience and finds there something universal and deeply moving.
