New single: "Doin' Time" (Sublime cover) - OUT NOW

[LanaFlowers 8,752]

thought I was the only one her music has lost its spark for me-I can even hear the spark in roll with me although half baked and and an obvious demo atleast it experiments.

 

 

 it's okay I guess? there's some really nice production elements going on with her background vocalisations but I hate how abruptly the song ends

 

 

my only complain is that it isnt Ska enough. just sounds like alt pop

 

It sounds like hold music. Or elevator music. It sounds like every other generic summer bop. While I admit the original song isn't particularly deep or poignant, I still get it. I'm still...feeling it, you know? Lana's version has no emotion, she sings these words like they have no meaning at all. It's flat, artificial and completely unnecessary. Doesn't even compare to the Sublime version. So sad, I've loved her covers so far.

The way she says 'evil' reminds me of Earth Kitt.

As much as I obviously love that part, this part is under-discussed:

 

So what am I gonna be doin' for a while

Said I'm gonna play with myself

Show them how we come off the shelf

[Crimson and Clover 22,505]

they played Doin' Time on kroq radio  it's nice hearing her on the radio again

The very beginning reminds me of Without Me by Halsey

Good for him that he likes it, but his opinions don’t matter. He‘s proven it many times when it comes to our Queen

What a dreamy summer bop

[Macintosh Manhattan 6,511]

Bop till ya drop summer anthem. I love it and I’m praying that’s it ends up on NFR

[Slumdog 817]

Her vocals while singing 'I'd like to hold her head underwater' qualifies as one of her 'Best LDR Musical Moments'

I love the song... but since it wasn’t produced by Jack, not sure it will end up on NFR. Plus the lyrics seem a bit « light » in comparison with what we heard from the album.

I know and yeah sadly it’ll probably will not happen. A tiny piece of me is hoping against hope that it will.

I can't stop thinking about this review calling Lana "our favourite summer enthusiast" So funny

Doin' Time has obviously been on repeat all weekend, like the BOP it is. 

summertiiiiimeee

[cashcomesquick 5,381]

Eeeevolllll, can’t stop thinking about that part

Loving the song. Doin’ Time suits Lana’s vibe so well. I always find her cover songs really good matches for her. Also the song is perfect to sing to my cats (lol) and I love songs that work like that. I’m actually starting to hope she puts it on nfr in the end. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would based on the snippet.
