Lana was born. It was a sunny day and the birds were singing. Perhaps this is where she got it from?

Lana releases her 3rd studio single Ruthless.

A unique talent, the single builds on Lana’s two previous critically acclaimed releases ‘Don’t Call Me Baby & Trippy Kind of Love’, both were supported by BBC 6 Music and BBC London as well as attracting numerous plaudits from new music tastemakers.Lana also appeared on a 'Take Over' show on Chris Hawkin's BBC6 Music show to promote her UK wide Lipstick & Guitar tour supporting the USA artist Nell Bryden.

'This is a cool, smart song which deserves to be heard.'

The Spanish senorita’s sultry tones have an edge that puts her along side the likes of Sia, Roisin Murphy, and Skye in her Morcheeba days, crossed with the style of Gnarls Barkley and N*E*R*D in this irresistible groove, that sees Lana speaking turning the tables on female pop, narrating the track from the male perspective.

'...It’s a fresh, exciting and horn-heavy blast of jazz-pop that really ought to find a mainstream following.'

Lana’s 2nd singleTrippy Kind of Love saw her take a departure from the fast paced, cheeky Latin debut single 'Don't Call Me Baby' and was given Record of the Week as a preview in Camden New Journal and Islington Tribune.Lana also has a trademark quirky video to support all releases and the video to ‘Don’t Call Me Baby’ was a smash on the Gaydar Nation network, further coverage followed as well as a Red Stripe Music Award nomination.

‘Lana’s mix of Latino rock and blues and full fronted boldness place her in a different league altogether’
