A Hopeless Romantic

‘i just wanna be in love’ was released on February 14th, 2025. With her bubbly pop instruments, bossa nova style rhythm, and delicate voice, Lani sings about the longing to love without restriction, without judgement, and without fear. Take a listen for yourself!

From the Heart
