Lisa Remar - "Lankersham"
Lisa Remar is a Japanese American queer singer/songwriter based in New York City. Her latest single, "Lankersham," is an intimate, autobiographical song. While it's based in fairly standard singer/songwriter roots and is folk adjacent, the song has a strong modern pop element. It's one of those songs that dances a little too on the line between mainstream pop and singer/songwriter to make it impossible to choose one definitively. What truly makes "Lankersham" stand out is Remar's vocals. It's a laid back song that let's Remar show off her captivating vocals which is what truly draws you in.
Lisa Remar says of the new song:
"I felt seriously stuck, sidetracked from my purpose. My reality had become so skewed and I’d grown into someone I wasn’t really proud of at all. My focus had insidiously shifted into staying fame adjacent. it all ended quite abruptly, ties were cut off and I was completely drained over trying so desperately hard to seem like I wasn’t trying hard at all. The song is about being unexpectedly plucked into the lives of others just to be discarded like fast fashion or a happy meal toy."
