“ I feel like a lot of times in my whole life to really process or communicate something - I feel like I can do it better in music, and I think that’s part of what we do as LANY,” he said. In an interview with Billboard magazine, Klein spoke about the process of writing such honest, raw songs. This authenticity reverberates not only through the band’s music but through their personal lives as well. After all, the best music makes us feel something. Whether this is true or not, what makes this album so enjoyable and so well received by fans is its heartbreaking honesty. Many LANY fans speculate “Malibu Nights” is the result of his break up with British artist Dua Lipa. The lyrics in every song are intricately constructed as if each word is a piece of Klein’s broken heart. The opening track “Thick and Thin” speaks volumes about the betrayal that comes from a broken heart, and the closing track “Malibu Nights” captures the old adage that “time heals all,” no matter how long it takes. Paul Klein (lead vocals and keyboard), Jake Goss (drums) and Les Priest (backup vocals and guitar) are effortlessly harmonious in every song on the album. Though it deals with tough emotions, “Malibu Nights” is a leap forward and a triumph, proving that LANY is unstoppable.Īfter finishing their first world tour, the trio went right back into the studio to record “Malibu Nights.” Luckily, no aspect of this album seems rushed - every song feels deliberate and carefully thought out.
The nine-track sophomore album is a tribute to the process of navigating through a broken heart. The alternative pop band LANY (the name is an acronym for Los Angeles, New York) released their new album “Malibu Nights” on Oct.
