Lucy Gallant and Ladi Abundance have joined forces to collaborate on an empowering new single, ‘Mr. Set to be released on March 15th, 2024.

But Ultimately, it’s a song of empowerment when the women realise that their truest love is actually found in their shared love of music. The man becomes history, and the women form a bond that inspires a new, deeply satisfying collaborative relationship. Treachery is transmuted into creativity.
