We all know now there’s a huge difference between a boy and a man. A boy will only care for his own needs and focus on the present, while a man will put care and time into the future and consistently work to better themselves and the ones around him. A man will love you while a boy can only love himself. Tanja just released her new pop single “LA Boy” that examines fragile masculinity hiding behind a carefully crafted exterior. With electric guitar riffs, dance synths and satirical lyrics, this track has a comedic spin on being exhausted with boys. It’s the perfect listen when you’ve reached your limit on immaturity. LA Boy feels very Sabrina Carpenter inspired so if you’re a fan of her, this song won’t disappoint.
Tanja describes “LA Boy” as a portrait of the modern LA player. The song holds up a mirror to the archetype and dares him to look. Los Angelas is full of media perfected identities that can be so out of touch. Tanjas intent is to show them who they truly are and see how quick they are to self reflect. “Tellin all your friends back home that you made it, but you, don’t even know who you are.” She also stated that the song didn’t take much effort and how all the boys basically wrote it for her. There’s nothing more entertaining than a woman calling out a guys red flags and putting their true colors on display.
Tanja is a pop singer-songwriter, originally from Napa Valley. She moved to Los Angeles to pursue her passion for music. Her debut single “Haunted House” was released in 2023 and after following it up with other singles, she is about to release her debut EP. It will be heavily inspired by Gothic literature, Kate Bush and Stevie Nicks. Tanja has been crafting her sound into something unique to her own artistry and I can’t wait to see what her EP brings.
