A Quick Chat with Lara Villani

Talk us through your EP, what is it about?
This EP really tells a story. It’s about love, heartbreak, and that moment where you finally remember who you are again. It goes from those butterfly feelings to the messy chaos, all the way to that point where you pick yourself up, fix your crown, and say “enough.” Every track has its own attitude - flirty, fiery, emotional, or powerful.

Can you tell us a bit about each track?
This EP is all about love, the rush, the heartbreak, and that moment you find your power again. It follows the journey from falling hard to finally standing tall and saying, I know my worth. Every track captures a different emotion, a different version of me through that ride. It’s raw, it’s honest, and it’s got an attitude.

Do you have a favourite one?
It's hard to choose a favourite. I love them all!
“I Love It” – The flirty, butterflies-in-your-stomach track. It’s about that spark, the build-up, and feeling so good getting ready to see someone.

“Losing My Mind” – That moment where you’re so deep in it that nothing else in the world matters. It’s obsessive, intense, and all-consuming - the kind of love that makes everything else disappear.

“Make It Go Away” – The party track with a broken heart underneath. It’s about trying to drown out the truth and pretending everything’s fine - even when it’s not.

“Second Chances” – That moment when you’ve had enough. No more excuses, no more settling. It’s fiery, bold, and all about choosing you.

“Too Late” – When they want to make it work, but you’ve already given everything. It’s about realising you’ve been bending over backwards, compromising all the best parts of yourself, and finally saying, no more.

What do you hope listeners will get out of listening to your EP?
My favourite has to be “Second Chances.” I love the empowerment it gives me — the sass, the energy, and what it stands for. It’s that moment where you take back your power, set the boundary, and remind yourself exactly who you are. Performing it feels electric — like stepping into your strongest, most confident self.

You have a show coming up at The Ev, what can punters expect to see?
This show is going to be very different from anything I’ve done before. There’s going to be dancing, new tracks, old favourites, and even some unreleased songs that no one’s heard yet. I want people to have an unforgettable night - to let loose, sing at the top of their lungs, and tap into their inner diva.

Now that the EP is out, what's next?
New music, of course! I’m so excited to tap into my Italian culture and heritage more - bringing those bold, fiery flavours into my sound. Expect more pop songs but with a hot flare. This next era is going to be a little spicy.
