DeathbyRomy – La La Land
DeathbyRomy, the genre-defying musician, songwriter, DJ, and model making waves in the alt-LA scene, announces the release of her new single and music video, “LA LA LAND,” via ONErpm.
The track is the next single from her anticipated debut album, HOLLYWOOD FOREVER, dropping on April 25th.
With sharp, biting lyrics like “Concrete Cocaine, Fake Tits Migraines, Fake Friends, Fake Numbers,” “LA LA LAND” is a daring critique of Los Angeles—both its intoxicating allure and its darker, more virulent undercurrents. It’s a track brimming with the kind of stark, disillusioned honesty that could only come from someone who’s lived through the city’s grime and glamour in equal measure.
The visual concept for “LA LA LAND” marks the beginning of a multi-part story that Romy unfolds in the album. The video follows a girl on her hitchhiking journey to Los Angeles, where she’s transported into a chaotic house party. As the night progresses, reality starts to blur, especially after encountering a mysterious figure known only as ‘The Manager’.
“This song is about being drained by the superficial hamster wheel that is LA ‘culture.’ The inescapable who’s who and ‘why do you matter ?’ ‘What can you do for me?’ Attitude that pollutes all social relationships and interactions.” explains DeathbyRomy
“LA LA LAND” is an electrifying preview of HOLLYWOOD FOREVER, Romy’s largest body of work to date, where she reflects on the highs and lows of growing up in LA, from dropping out of high school to dealing with exploitation by her first manager. The album is both a raw personal narrative and a love letter to the city that has shaped her, exploring the contradictions that make LA so magnetic and brutal at the same time.
“I’ve been through a lot to get to this point,” Romy says. “I wanted this record to feel like both a reckoning and a celebration. LA is my home, and this album is my love letter to it. It’s about all the contradictions, all the pain, but also all the beauty.”
