While we all know and love Lana Condor as an actress in To All The Boys I’ve Loved
Before, fans recently learned that Lana also has an epic singing voice too.
But while she’s an extremely talented singer, singing doesn’t come as naturally to Lana,
it’s even made her feel traumatized.
What’s up?
It’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News bringing you all the news updates from my
at-home Clevver studio and Lana...we feel you girl.
In case you missed it, in February, Lana teamed up with her real-life musician boyfriend Anthony
De La Torre for a heartfelt song called “Raining In London.”
The song is featured on Anthony’s recently released EP Find Me and we got to hear Lana’s
beautiful singing voice.
And while Lana totally sounded like a natural, she recently admitted that singing actually
made her really nervous compared to acting where she’s more comfortable.
And we’ll get into all that but first, make sure to subscribe to Clevver News and hit
that bell so you never miss any entertainment news updates.
Alright so, Lana and Anthony’s song ultimately turned out incredible, but Lana revealed that
recording the song in their closet in Ohio was actually super hard for her.
In a recent interview with Genius, Lana said quote, “Actually singing on this track was
a very difficult, traumatizing experience.
I just felt so uncomfortable because it’s not my thing that I do for a living.
So, it was like pulling teeth to actually get me to do it and then finally, the last
night we were recording, I just was like ‘screw it.’
I just did it and I took off the headphones and just threw them.”
And despite not wanting to sing, Lana added that she’s happy that she and Anthony got
to work on this project together.
She said quote, “But it was really fun and I think the best part of it was doing it together.
Working on it together and knowing how much we care for the song and that was what kind
of pushed us through, because I know I didn’t make it very easy.”
And along with the song Lana and Anthony also release a music video to go along with the
track.
The music video tells the story of a fictional romance filled with fame and fights between
an on-screen couple, played by Lana and Anthony.
And it certainly looked like Lana was in her element in the video.
And Lana’s fans are TOTALLY here for her future potential music career.
Would you have guessed that Lana would’ve been nervous to sing?
And what did you think of her voice in “Raining In London?”
Let me know and get that conversation started down in the comments below.
One fan tweeted saying quote, “Lana Condor is launching a singing career?!
Lana hive let’s rise.
@lanacondor are we called CONDORments?”
Another said quote, “okay but nobody told me lana condor could sing this was so good
AHH”
And another wrote quote, “Omg I didn't know that lana condor can sing too??
They sound beautiful when they sing tgt”
And we couldn’t agree more!
We are just ready for more music from these two!
But for now, we’re ok with the hilarious content they’ve been putting out on Tik
Tok.
Seriously, it’s getting me through these social distancing times.
First, they tried the “couple challenge flip” and it went a little something like
this…
All I’ve gotta say, is their dog is all of us right now.
Along with the funny video, Lana wrote quote, “Quarantine day 14.
We’ve lost it.
Here’s our attempt to do those “couple challenge flip” thingies that we’ve been
seeing on tik tok.
And yes, its as weird as it looks.
sorry in advance”
And on Anthony’s page he shared a video of them doing another Tik Tok couple challenge.
He wrote quote, “Day 14 of quarantine...
This is what it's come to.”
Again, their dog is just really trying to be a Tik Tok star barking in the background
and we see you pup!
But on a more serious note, Lana has also spoken out against President Donald Trump's
decision to refer to COVID-19 as the “Chinese virus.”
Even before this, there was already a spike in hate crimes and discrimination against
Asian Americans since the coronavirus pandemic began earlier this year.
And Lana urged President Trump to "be better" than using racist language that offends and
endangers so many.
She wrote quote, “Be better.
To wake up to your chaos is truly a nightmare.
Please.
Be better.
To my followers—be safe.
I love you."
Lana also included a screenshot of a note further explaining her feelings.
She wrote quote, “You have no idea the ramifications your racist words & actions have on the Asian
American community.
You simply cannot even fathom the danger you are putting our community in.
How dare you.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
You call yourself a leader?
You know what leaders do?
They LEAD by setting good examples and ACTION.”
And many of Lana’s fans responded to her post echoing her sentiments.
One person wrote quote, “Sending my love, Lana.
As a Latina who has friends all over the globe, including China, I felt personally attacked.
We must be better people and not emulate what this man does.
I’m sending you a big hug and know that there are people willing to stand up for you
guys.”
And another said quote, “stay safe lana, it's gonna be okay.
i'm praying for your good.”
