Enveloping timeless wordplay and soulful vocal energy into her ever-evolving repertoire, Lily Lane is back with her new Queen of Hearts EP. She may be an innate entertainer, but Lane proves to be a passionate storyteller at her core, enrapturing her audience with the power of owning your villain moments. With the perfect blend of soul and sass, she has evolved exponentially across her repertoire, and Queen of Hearts is no exception. 

With hopeful undercurrents flowing throughout each of the seven tracks presented in her latest offering, she confides what she learned after the devastation of heartbreak. Lane explains, “Sometimes the loves of our lives are our friends or ourselves or our pets. Partners can let you down. They may betray you in the middle of a pandemic out of nowhere after 5 years but that is life and the way I dealt with it is this EP.” In an unparalleled ode to personal growth, the project turned into a hopeful journey full of self-love, perseverance and the importance of finding your chosen family. Lane continues, “Love and life won’t always turn out the way you thought, but maybe it can be even better.”

Whether it’s Lane’s resonating chronicles or simply impeccable musical persona that have you hooked on her catalogue to date, Queen of Hearts takes Lane’s endeavours to the next level. Opening with the hit single “Bad”, her advocacy for empowerment shines brightly. In a tribute to reclamation, Lane furthers to soar with sonorous excellence. Title track “Queen of Hearts” and “Heartbreak Wine” proceeds to display Lane’s euphoric versatility. Written with Lane's best friend and Academy Award-nominated multi-hyphenate Abigail Breslin, her euphony is brought full circle. She continues to develop a truly mesmerising sonic identity, one which will both inspire and empower. It’s her unparalleled ambition to showcase anecdotal accounts of her journey that makes Queen of Hearts such a remarkable release.
