Everything You Wanted to Know About SORRY I’M HUMAN Artist Lana Love
New York pop artist and The Voice alum Lana Love has one of those rare voices that's truly unmistakable, and she's at the top of her game with the release of her vulnerable new EP, SORRY I'M HUMAN.
The seven-track collection dropped last week on Friday, Aug. 22, highlighting her classically trained vocals and uniquely cinematic sound. The genre-defying project is cinematic, packed with drama and dripping with edge as she reflects on the darkness within, finally learning to put herself first and step into her full truth. Her poetic vocals remain unmatched. We also got the chance to chat with Lana all about what makes her one of a kind. Find out what she revealed to us as our latest Woman Crush Wednesday below.

Fun Facts:
1. As the title of her recent song, "TOWER," suggests, Lana into tarot reading.
"It's fun for me. It helps me see potentials, and I use it as a creative, intuitive tool. I'm especially drawn to the Queen of Wands—she's powerful, emotionally regulated, and knows who she is. I also love the 10 of Pentacles—it's about building a legacy and abundance."
-Lana Love
2. One life lessons she wishes she'd learned earlier on is that she doesn't need to convince anyone else of her worth.
"But in all honesty, self-worth and belief were hard-earned for me, and I don't think I could've skipped any steps to get to where I am now—and I'm still learning! Protect that inner peace and keep it moving. Sometimes a 'no' is really a 'yes' for yourself."
