St. Lou shares, “‘Girl Get On’ is about loyalty, or really the lack of it. It’s easy to feel angry when you’ve been lied to by the most important people in your life, but it’s a lot more fun to channel that anger into an upbeat, old school R&B song. Besides, the best revenge is getting it all out through music for the world to hear. I hope people who hear this song will feel inspired to tear down the obstacles that are holding them back. Sometimes the truth hurts, but ultimately it will set you free. It certainly worked for me.” Watch and listen: Lisa St. Lou is living proof that it’s never too late to live your dream. Post-40, post-divorce and post-theater career, she decided it was high time she recorded her debut album, Ain’t No Good Man, a collection of blues-drenched songs that are every bit like St. Lou herself: vibrant, fun, empowering and a lil’ bit sassy. The album was created in New Orleans with hometown favorites Irma Thomas, Ivan and Ian Neville and Walter “Wolfman” Washington along with award-winning vocalists Celisse Henderson (Lizzo, Broadway’s “Wicked) and Crystal Monee Hall (Rent, The Mickey Hart Band). St. Lou shares, “It is truly remarkable when a group of the funkiest New Orleans male musicians can come together to throw their power behind a predominantly female message of calling a bad man out. It’s a testament to these gentlemen, who wanted to put that power into their instruments.” Next, do people who are tone-deaf hear music differently?
