Singer-songwriter Lana Melyssa's 2nd single "BAD Ai" was digitally released today.
Following her previous work, this song was produced by Masamori Takumi, who won the Best Global Music Album at the 65th Grammy Awards, and is Lana Melyssa's first co-written song, completed in collaboration with him. In a departure from the aggressive sound of her previous work "Medeteyo Baby," this is a refreshing pop sound with a light chorus melody and the impressive phrase "cut, paste, and connect," singing about the strong feeling of accepting unrequited love positively and moving on. This love song, which shows a new side of Lana Melyssa, has been performed at her live shows even before its release, gaining popularity as a killer tune, and is now finally available for digital distribution!
The artwork was designed by Lana Melyssa herself, inspired by the song's lyrics, "cut, paste, and connect."
She also announced her self-produced live event "Taiyo ni Yakarete Vol.3" to be held on August 23rd, making Lana Melyssa's activities increasingly unmissable.
▼Lana Melyssa
I often write songs about unrequited love, but this time, "BAD Ai" is a song that depicts unrequited love that sounds pure when listened to subjectively, but somewhat distorted when listened to objectively.
By producing it in consultation with Mr. Takumi, it has a tempo and pop sound unlike my previous songs, which were mainly acoustic. The charm of this song is the balance between the bright sound and the slightly shadowed lyrics hidden within.
I would be happy if you listen to this song while relating it to your own love life, or just enjoy the sound. I hope you can enjoy this song in your own way.
▼Sound Producer Masamori Takumi
I believe many of you have experienced the feeling of the song title "BAD Ai." It's a negative spiral of being drawn to a love you know is wrong, and dragging your feelings even more because it's unfulfilled. However, the lyrics of this song also contain another homonym, "BUT Ai." Please enjoy the wonderful contradiction packed into this song by Lana Melyssa, an artist who embodies the times, with a refreshing heavy bass track.
