    Mama’s Boy proves that standing still isn’t an option as LANY honour their humble beginnings as their most authentic selves. It may not be the iridescent sunset we’re used to, but LANY are home.

    Intimate, sensitive, and unabashedly vulnerable, Mama's Boy is far and away their quietest and most introverted affair to date, yet it adds a depth and substance to LANY's catalog that had been lacking from their usual feel-good Gen Z anthems.

    Though ‘Mama’s Boy’ won’t exactly be changing the alt-pop game, it certainly might convince you to text your ex after one too many glasses of wine.

    As bizarre as LANY’s pivot to country pop is, they still manage to infuse it with enough charm where it doesn’t fall flat.

    Although some of the songs on Mama's boy maybe quite derivative and cheesy, LANY sure knows how to make them sound amazing. Standouts to meAlthough some of the songs on Mama's boy maybe quite derivative and cheesy, LANY sure knows how to make them sound amazing. Standouts to me are You!, If This Is The Last Time and Nobody! These songs hit different to me as the lyrics are relatable in a lot of ways. They relate to being alone and wanting to message the love of your life in times of depression.

    Im a huge fan of this album, and im looking forward to listening to it again    … Expand

    Dollar store, shallow version of The 1975 with extra cheese and cringe in songwriting.
