Being a Dua Lipa fan, it was obvious all of the songs were surrounded by her and the split from PJK, and since I have never been through a big heartbreak, it was hard to relate. My first listen wasn’t what I wanted or expected. In fact, earlier this year he made an Instagram post following a split with Dua Lipa – pop icon and singer of “New Rules and deleted his social media, but also announced the release of the first single on their upcoming album, titled “Thru These Tears.”īeing a LANY fan from the start, I was eager to hear what the second album would sound like. If there’s one thing you need to know about PJK and the band, it’s that they have a recurring theme in their music: sunsets and love.Īlong with experiencing love, Malibu Nights makes it clear PJK has for sure experienced some heartbreak. They released their self-titled debut album last June. The band’s 2015 EP Make Out included “ILYSB” which exploded online with over 8 million views on YouTube and served as my introduction to the band.
LANY - an indie pop trio made up of the band’s frontman Paul Joseph Klein (PJK), keyboardist and guitarist Charles Leslie Priest, and drummer Jake Clifford Goss - formed in Los Angeles in 2014 (hence the name LANY, a combination of LA, New York).
LANY is back and sounding better than ever with their second album, Malibu Nights, released last month.
