Former Dork cover star and creative multi-hyphenate Lava La Rue has returned with a new single, ‘easy come, easy go’, a track that examines coming of age in a digitally disoriented, post‑pandemic world.
Produced by Fraser T Smith (Dave & Kae Tempest), the song nods to early‑2000s alt outfits including MGMT and Bloc Party, pairing bright guitar lines with clipped, hook‑led melodies. Described by Lava La Rue as “the soundtrack of my summer holidays,” it addresses AI anxiety, manosphere rhetoric, and the disconnect between online and offline intimacy.
“Even simple milestones like heartbreak or a gap year feel warped,” Lava La Rue explains, “like not being able to tell if your crush sent you a text ghostwritten by ChatGPT.”
“Even if you feel hopeless about the state of the world, use that energy to genuinely double down on radically exuding compassion and community action,” Lava says.
The release arrives with a video featuring Lava performing a grunge‑style gig in their back garden, alongside friends, family, and bandmates.
‘easy come, easy go’ follows Lava La Rue’s debut album ‘STARFACE’ and earlier singles ‘Poison Cookie’ and ‘LOVEBITES’, as well as a TV debut on Jools Holland last year.
