Australia has long been forging music talent, yet one of the names that struck with us recently is that of young pop songstress Lana Karlay. Hailing from Melbourne, the seventeen-year-old has recently unveiled her latest effort, ‘Don’t Let Me Go’, an evocative and meaningful piece steeped in cinematic allure and relatable lyricism. Produced in Los Angeles, the record introduces us to Karlay’s monumental, expressive vocals, here delivered with incredible elegance and hard-hitting lusciousness.
What more could you wish for? ‘Don’t Let Me Go’ feels familiar and heartwarming, all wrapped into a modern and functional production that perfectly matches the grandiose and anthemic charge of Lana’s potent tone. Echoing the mainstream ethos of icons like Blindie and Olivia Rodrigo, the Aussie hero unveils an aural journey that’s certainly contemporary, yet laced with nostalgic escapism and timeless allure. If you combine all that with romantic, introspective songwriting, the result is a wonderfully tender and nuanced record.
Delving deeper into the piece, Lana Karlay explains: “The song explores the desperation of holding onto someone who’s slipping away, capturing that universal ache with honesty and power.” Judging by what we have heard so far, we do not doubt that a fantastic career awaits Karlay. Stay tuned for more!
