LANY RELEASE NEW SINGLE ‘HOME IS WHERE THE HURT IS’ OUT NOW
NEW ALBUM I REALLY REALLY HOPE SO OUT SEPTEMBER 29
Multi-platinum pop rock band LANY have unveiled a new single entitled ‘Home Is Where The Hurt Is.’ It paves the way for the impending arrival of the group’s forthcoming album, I Really Really Hope So, releasing on September 29th. The pre-order/pre-save for the record is available HERE.
‘Home Is Where The Hurt Is’ unfolds as an emotionally charged vulnerable ballad. Soft piano underscores delicate vocal delivery as the track culminates on the reflective refrain, “We both know our broken hearts deserve this, ‘cause home is where the hurt is.” In the accompanying visual, frontman Paul Klein finds himself chained to a piano as it pulls him down a road. As the tension increases, the evocative clip seamlessly evokes the track’s introspective mood on-screen.
