Composed and recorded in her hometown, Laurel Canyon, California, the debut album from Lola Bates, ‘Love and Power’ is a haunting and vulnerable confession, exploring one’s own inner power. Songs of romance and sensuality intertwine through the story of a young woman taking agency over her life, love and relationships. Co-produced by Maxwell Joseph, mixed by Grammy Award-winning engineer Robert Carranza, and executive produced by Tyler Bates.

Legendary Wu-Tang Clan mastermind, filmmaker, and composer RZA joins forces with acclaimed composer/producer/musician Tyler Bates for the score of the RZA’s One Spoon of Chocolate Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. A brutal homage to grindhouse cinema, RZA’s One Spoon of Chocolate is an unapologetic, exploitation-inspired action thriller—and its score mirrors that intensity. From bone-crushing percussive moments to deeply emotive compositions, the score navigates a spectrum of feeling—grief, love, rage, and despair—creating a layered listening experience that resonates far beyond the screen. The film is available in select theaters now. Listen to the original score, out now on all streaming platforms.

The second single off Lola Bates’ debut album, ‘Love and Power.’ Written and produced by Lola Bates, co-produced with Maxwell Joseph, and co-engineered with Grammy Award-winning engineer Robert Carranza.
