Got it from my momma! Lourdes Leon is keenly following in her famous mom Madonna's footsteps with her own burgeoning music career.
The 27-year-old just released a new single, a cover version of Judy Garland's 1944 single The Boy Next Door, originally from the soundtrack of Meet Me in St. Louis.
The release was inspired by her performance of the song at a Ganni X Dr. Martens launch event in Bushwick, Brooklyn in late November, and the track is already gaining some traction.
Lourdes, who goes by the stage name LOLAHOL, is bumping up the song's presence with a new post on her Instagram Stories as well, and she kept things interesting for sure.
Alongside a car with a license plate that read "MHMM HMM," Lourdes posed in a nude-toned string bikini with her back to the camera, with her long dark locks falling down to her waist.
She then added a screenshot of the song being promoted as one of the top new releases of the week by a music publication, which was then shared by doting mom Madonna as well on her Instagram Stories.

"This particular song was one I was thinking about a lot at the time, and after some late hours in the studio I tried singing it over a track Kiri and I had been playing with. Something clicked for me and felt right, and we just followed that feeling."

She performed at the popular Brooklyn club Paragon, but explained that instead of hitting the clubs, she prefers taking to the studio and producing more music.

"This song has come up countless times as connecting the two of us. I don't know what it is about this song, but it's always been that. So this video is an homage to this part of her career. There is also a deeply spiritual link to my grandmother on my mother's side – it's too sacred to put into words."
Of the video shoot, which took place in a forest in upstate New York, she cited her love for musical theater once again, explaining: "I was so nervous the first night we got there and remember laying in the grass by the pond, singing The Sound Of Music to make me feel safe and comfortable."
