Tammy Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Oh Yes Chris Isaak ! I am such a huge fan. And you all did know that Lana is a huge fan of him too ? She said in an interview that she listens everytime to Wicked Game. I can't stop think about the similarities between Wicked Game and Blue Jeans. The water , the song . Its like Blue Jeans is a modern version of this classic. I am a huge fan of Chris, too. He's my favorite male singer. But actually, I do prefer to say, Chris Isaak & Silvertone are my favorite band. By the way: I even attended the Brussels concert last year (the video), and might dance on stage with him and his epic band. Did you see him at Berlin - Tempodrom in 2010? My first CI&S concert ... Would love to get a duet: Chris & Lana! 2 Quote

Tammy Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 No I discovered him through Lana in 2011 . She tweeted the Wicked Game lyrics. I fell in love with the song. Ah! Hope you'll give his other songs a change, too!? I have all of his records + DVDs and saw him live 2 times - have been a fan since 2006. In the meantime I have to say 'Wicked Game' is one of his weakest songs + videos ever. This guy is so much better than 'Wicked Game' especially his faster Rocksongs are brilliant. But it's cool you like him ... 1 Quote
Demian Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Mazzy Star Lana has that same dark vibe and they also have amazing lyrics and melodies. Pure perfection. 0 Quote

Quadrophenia Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Oh and the song excuses by the Morning Benders 0 Quote
PrettyBaby Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Awhile back on her current Facebook account, Lana mentioned Lily Holbrook's "Everything Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt." I finally listened to it, and it's really a gorgeous album! Holbrook is more overtly feminist imo, but "Make Them Wonder" really reminds me of Lana. ("Well they're all fucked up on the American dream / Who are they to call me obscene") 0 Quote
Tammy Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I really like the records Forever Blue and Heart Shaped World. I have them in my iTunes. AMAZING!!! You have style, girl! 'Forever Blue' is a great CD, love the song 'Things go wrong'. To me, 'Mr Lucky' is his best album ever. (Release 2009) Damn, that guy is so hot ... 1 Quote

(Release 2009) Damn, that guy is so hot ... I guess I prefer his older stuff. I just can say a thousand times how much I love Wicked Game , Dont Make Me Dreaming About You , This Is The End Of Everything and You Changed Your Mind and Forever Young. I love his voice . He waaaaaaas hot. By the way did you received my PM ? 0 Quote

Yepp, die hab ich bekommen, und eigentlich hatte ich die auch beantwortet! Ist nichts angekommen bei Dir? -------------------- Met a lot of CI fans who say they like his older stuff. I love it all, but prefer his newer songs if I had to choose. He was hot? To me he becomes hotter and hotter with every new year ... ;-P 'Dont make me dream about you', I love the video - black n white one, really sexy! 2 Quote

CatchTheBreeze Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I don't know if you guys ever heard of Gemma Ray - I think her music bears some resemblances to Lana (and not because of the "Ray" ). She's pretty cool live too. 2 Quote

She's pretty cool live too. Never heard of her before but I really like it. Flood and a Fire & Rescue Me - amazing. Thanks for this! 0 Quote
LifeisBeautiful Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 I've found old Stevie Nicks demos to be the most like Lana's unreleased stuff. Young Stevie's tone was almost the same as Lana's and she also repeats certain themes and lyrics throughout. I've been a huge Stevie fan since HS and the haunting quality of most of Lana's stuff really got to me in the same way. For some reason I cannot post videos on here But check out "Forest of the Black Roses" and "No Light." 1 Quote
DeadAgainst Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 "Chick Habit" both very cool songs btw x yes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQMxMUQkc0c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9skOeTViEMI 0 Quote
ithinkweed Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 for some reason this guy reminds me of Lana https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX-QaNzd-0Y 0 Quote
labelledejour Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Hm, can't remember others, but i notice some similarities between Lana and Nicole Dollanganger. The lyrics and the sweet voice reminds me of Lana, but most similarities with the unreleased ones and the May Jailer Album. Listen to Ugly. And the Lana song it most reminds me of Nicole is You're Gonna Love Me. Love them :') 0 Quote
Anthem Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Thank you x10000 to whomever said Mazzy Star! I am listening to them now and its like a void in my soul is being filled. I'm gonna check out the other suggestions when I get done being blown away. 0 Quote Goddesses don't speak in whispers. They scream.
longtimeman Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Lana's mentioned Cat Power a few times lately - I wouldn't have said she sounds like BTD era, but these songs might suit you if you like the UV era http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3XmDc9WZSo 1 Quote
ednafrau Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 i saw cat power live in 2001 and she was mesmerizing but so awkward onstage...lana is a showgirl in comparison! but they both show how the focus should be on the voice ♥ i love this song of hers (it's a cover, actually, but she made it her own), and i think it's kindred to UV's vibe: 2 Quote
