Breaking Up Slowly w/ Nikki Lane

[AngelHeadedHipster]

Digging the vibes and lyrics of *Breaking Up Slowly*. Hoping the album won't have a strong country sound. Would love it if it leans more towards a bluesy folk rock sound instead.

 

Kinda like

I am LOVING this song so far.

 

I think a lot of fans are going to be surprised with the sound of COCC. Everyone saying they don’t want Lana going country, when this sound isn’t really “country” it’s more folk, and Lana’s voice is literally made for folk music. This album will be BEAUTIFUL!

 

And the country haters must be new fans who have never heard of Lizzy.

I’m a Lizzy Grant stan, and her music from that time wasn’t “country” in my opinion.

I've been ready for Lana to explore an Americana sound for awhile now. She's def danced around that type of sound here and there over the years, esp with Blue Baby & I Must Be Stupid For Being So Happy. Personally, I've been delving into the new sound of Country music thanks to Orville Peck kinda opening those doors for me. She's explored so many different genres, so why not Americana? I'm fucking ready for Lana's COCC, even if I'm in the minority with my opinion?

Never let me go was country style wasnt it? I rly wnjoyed it. I think her twist on country is nice. Alot of her songs already have a country twist on them lol

Beautiful People is one of her best track and it's a duet

True, even May was more into (urban?) folk and acoustic rock than country imo.

I think there are many songs from Lizzy that have a folk influence. I think a lot of younger people blend folk music and country/western music together, and that’s not the case. They are 2 separate genres.

 

This song has way more of a folk sound than a country/western sound but people hear a guitar and call it “country”. Just a pet peeve of mine lol

Some folk influences every now and then? Yeah. But to say that Lizzy Grant was a folk/country era is totally incorrect in my opinion.

Same, i'm here for this folk vibe. Obviously the album won't be folk, but i've wanted her to go this direction for years now.

added the new lyrics to the OP! It looks like that’s Nikki’s verse, but they sang the final line together before transitioning into the chorus x

i agree, i think the country / southern sound was an influence, such as qotgs, joan & bobby, super movie, and even mermaid motel with the southern twang, but i wouldn't consider it full blown country.

[Trash Magic]

What are the chances she's gonna have nikki natalie zella and chuck on the chemtrails album cover with her. I'm thinking possibility is high

I agree, I've been a fan since BTD and I would never describe Lizzy Grant or May Jailer as country.

Yeah. Both of them have some country and folk influences I guess, but like LemonadeHeavens said it was definitely not a full blown country/folk era.
