Produced by Daniel Pashman‘Last Star in LA’ merges a nostalgic 80s backdrop with a modern, stadium-pop feel. From the very first note, listeners are drawn into a soundscape that feels both expansive and intimate. Lloren’s honeyed vocals soar over sun-soaked harmonies, reflecting the bright, palm-tree-dotted landscape of LA. Yet, beneath the surface lies a deeper narrative. As Lloren herself explains, “The song is just a love letter to the city! I wanted it to sound like a love song, but if you listen closely, you can hear it’s got a double meaning.” This duality, a celebration of dreams and a quiet reflection on the personal cost of chasing them, gives the track its emotional pull.

The song’s pulsating beat provides a powerful backbone, propelling the listener forward, like a drive through sunlit LA streets. It feels bright, cinematic and imbued with that main character moment essence. As the lyrics glide and harmonise over the production, Lloren channels a P!nk-like intensity, delivering a vocal performance that feels both bold and vulnerable, capturing the city’s transformative energy.

Lloren’s success extends beyond her music. Having amassed syncs in major TV shows like Grey’s Anatomy and The L Word and performing at high-profile events like BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend, she continues to prove herself as a dynamic force in the industry. ‘Last Star in LA’ marks another step in her remarkable journey, where music and LA are entwined in a dance of inspiration, ambition and undeniable talent.
