Lily Lane Drops Playful Y2K-Inspired Single “Don’t Stop”
Watch “Reciprocation” video HERE
Lily Lane isn’t just making music, she’s making a statement. Blending soul-soaked vocals with pop sparkle, the East Coast artist has carved out her lane as a bold performer and unapologetic advocate for body positivity, women, and LGBTQ+ rights. A former Wilhelmina Curve model turned soul-pop powerhouse, Lane’s star power lies in her ability to pair glamour with grit, delivering songs that are as empowering as they are irresistibly catchy.
Her latest single, “Don’t Stop,” is a sultry, playful Y2K-inspired pop track that leans into intimacy and desire with a wink. Showcasing her softer upper register in a dreamy, sensual way while still delivering the cheeky confidence she’s known for, the song captures the irresistible pull of giving into passion. Produced by Taylor Sparks, it reimagines the early-2000s era Lane grew up idolizing, think Mariah Carey, Mýa, Christina Aguilera, and Britney Spears, through her own voice and lens. With sweet-meets-sexy lyricism and a nod to the Sabrina Carpenter lane of modern pop, “Don’t Stop” gives us a taste of her upcoming Domesticated EP, a body of work that explores the fun, sexy, and sometimes frustrating realities of life after “happily ever after.”
The new single follows “Reciprocation,” where Lane channeled the spirit of Aretha Franklin with modern pop bite. Its accompanying music video is a Motown-inspired spectacle that feels like a 1960s Ed Sullivan Show performance, complete with Supremes-style choreography, but with a hilarious, painfully real twist. Performing to a single disinterested man (the very one who inspired the song), Lane delivers glamour, wit, and raw emotion, putting on a dazzling show begging for reciprocation that goes unnoticed. Styled entirely with ethically sourced vintage and secondhand designer pieces from eBay and The RealReal, the video was a family affair shot in Brooklyn by her husband (a filmmaker and creator of Comedy Central’s Legends of Chamberlain Heights), making it as personal as it is fabulous.
Lane’s dynamic sound and bold storytelling have made her a rising star in the sync world, landing placements with Pretty Little Liars, Netflix, HBO Max, Bravo, and numerous beauty campaigns. Her music has been spotlighted on coveted Spotify editorial playlists and praised by tastemakers including NYLON, Just Jared, and Earmilk. A natural performer, Lane has lit up stages from a sold-out headline show at The Peppermint Club in Los Angeles, to West Hollywood Pride opening for Jessie J and Madison Beer, to Madison Square Garden singing for the Knicks. She’s also shared bills with Big Time Rush, JoJo, and Hot Chelle Rae.
Catch Lily Lane live at Hotel Ziggy in Los Angeles on October 21st, where she’ll be bringing her signature mix of glamour, grit, and unapologetic soul-pop to the stage.
