Lous and the Yakuza is a singer-songwriter, artist, actress who spent her childhood between Congo, Rwanda and Belgium.&nbsp; Her first studio album GORE produced the international hit Dilemme. Her second album IOTA dropped in late 2022 to resounding critical success. After her sold out European and US tour, Lous is finding inspiration for her next album through her love for art and manga.&nbsp; Lous and the Yakuza is an anagram of the word Soul, the source of her musical inspiration, and Yakuza, the name of her team of collaborators. Her style is a combination of trap, R&amp;B, and pop, carried by her idiosyncratic voice.

Our guest curator, multidisciplinary artist Lous and the Yakuza, has chosen a selection of her ten favourite works from the sale.
