The British pop-rock artist Lana Crow has spent her career writing songs that demand you actually listen, the kind that make you pause mid-commute or turn up the volume when you’re alone in your car. Her debut album “I Will” introduced us to a songwriter who wasn’t afraid to get personal, while “Live It” dug even deeper into what she calls her “sonic diary.”
“Between the fear and the light, we find the questions that matter most.”
“What Brings You Back” feels like Crow at her most ambitious. She’s described this track as her attempt to capture what God might sound like if we could actually hear that voice, and whether you’re religious or not, the song works because it taps into something universally human. We’ve all had those moments of doubt when the sky feels darker and the nights feel colder, wondering if we’re going to make it through whatever we’re facing.
“What Brings You Back” is a philosophy wrapped in a lyric, the idea that we’re more connected and more powerful than we think, if we’re willing to see it. This isn’t Crow’s first time exploring these themes. “Orwellian Times” and “I Do” both touched on similar territory, but “What Brings You Back” feels like she’s found her clearest expression yet.
If you’ve been sleeping on Lana Crow, this track is your wake-up call. She’s making the kind of alternative pop that actually has something to say, songs that stick with you long after they’ve ended. Give “What Brings You Back” a listen.
