Lany - Soft (2025)
Soft positions itself as both a familiar and cautiously progressive chapter in LANY’s discography, weaving emotionally charged lyrics into polished, synth-laced pop-rock soundscapes. From the titre track “Soft” to the balladic closer “Last Forever,” the album journeys through vulnerability, nostalgia, and the tension between softness and resilience. The production is clean and modern—guitars shimmer beneath synth pads, and drum programming balances punch with space so vocals never get lost. However, while the sonic textures are bright and seductive, the material so far (as seen in “Know You Naked”) feels safe rather than groundbreaking, relying on formulaic structures and lyrical tropes. In all, Soft offers a comforting, well-made version of the LANY sound, even if it doesn’t yet fully stretch beyond what fans already expect.
