I'm not going to refute anybody's opinions about the amount of talent Mariah Carey has over anyone else in the industry. However, I know I can only speak for myself and the other's whom I know love Lana. Lana's fans (including myself) love her because she's sings about events in her life that are relatable to our lives. Her songs are often confused with feelings of sadness but to make the assumption would only be superficial because she's really singing about memories and nostalgia, not depression. Yes, her voice isn't conventional to say the least but we love it because of that very reason, because it's deep and raspy tune may remind some of us of that of Janis Joplin's or even Nancy Sinatra's. That's the kind of aesthetic she's shooting for and we love it because it's absolutely regal! Not to mention the style in which her music is produced/composed makes it even more climatic and modern with great beats!
