The Los Angeles alt-pop scene delivers yet another gem with Hana Vu’s sophomore album, ‘Romanticism’. A contrast to her debut, this album leans towards a more mainstream, yet emotionally rich sound.

Los Angeles churns out alt-pop artists who shape the sounds of the genre, and Hana Vu stands tall among them with her latest album, Romanticism. Ghostly International saw the release of this indie gem on the 3rd of May, 2024, a follow-up to Vu’s darker ‘Public Storage’ that swept across the indie music scene three years ago.

  • Her new album showcases a cohesive set of song ideas, blending the raw edginess of her debut with more polished pop elements.
  • Tracks like ‘Look Alive’ and ’22’ present a compelling mix of menacing undertones and pop-punk vigor, echoing the vocal prowess that remains Vu’s signature.
  • While the album veers towards a poppier indie landscape, there’s an underlying craving for the grunge and rawness of her earlier sounds.

Throughout the album, Hana Vu’s vocal delivery exemplifies tortured beauty, wavering between the anguish of heartbreak and the power of self-expression. Despite this, the production at times underplays the potent instrumentals that Vu’s voice soars over. It’s a balancing act between the rising star’s distinctive vocals and the evolving soundscape artists in the indie-pop sphere navigate.
