‘would be better’ by friend of the zine luan luan feels like standing in the rain, waiting for a moment that might never arrive. it’s wonderfully bright, restless, and kind of aching all at once.

madrid-born, brighton-based, luan builds the track with shimmering pop textures and indie edges that move like sunlight. we loved their previous banger ‘nonsense’ and this continues a run of form with real skill; every lyric questions, every melody leans forward – it’s contradiction turned into colour.

this second single from their debut ep captures the quiet bravery of imagining a better world while still tangled in what hurts. it’s a song that keeps asking, keeps reaching, until hope feels possible.

thank u for making this luan luan ❤️
