Meet Lous and the Yakuza, the Belgian Artist Who Can Sing in Any Language

A subtle assortment of styles swirl together in the music of Lous and the Yakuza, the stage name of Marie Pierra-Kakoma. Across her first three singles, Pierra-Kakoma leans into snappy, minimalistic R&B ( Dilemme ), slinky, melodic trap ( Tout est gore ), and nuanced, introspective pop ( Solo ), all of which she sings in French with equal parts age-old poise and modern swagger.

Having penned her very first songs at the same time as she learned how to read and write-around age 6 or 7-Pierra-Kakoma found her calling early on and hasn't doubted herself since. I started writing and never really stopped. I was writing until my wrist hurt, but now I'm more relaxed about it, she said to For the Record.
