Lauv releases a new song entitled “Drugs & the Internet“. Available for download and stream, singer-songwriter Lauv has launched his new era on Thursday (April 25) with the single “Drugs & The Internet.”
“Drugs” is a total sonic adventure; it begins as a melancholy piano ballad, then warps into a bass-heavy banger that’s equal parts sad and self-deprecating. “I don’t want to base my actions or reactions on the things they say / And I don’t want to hit delete on all the parts of me that they might hate,” he sings, before lamenting on the hook, “I traded all my friends for drugs and the internet / Ah, shit.”
The track comes to life in a Black Mirror-esque video that serves as a cautionary tale about getting sucked into social media. Lauv and director Jenna Marsh illustrate that concept of emotional disappearance by literally trapping him inside an online world, where everything isn’t as it seems.
