PoshLife 16,831 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Vanessa Carlton has always had bars. Many fans know her best for those proto-Swiftian verses of the 2000s, or the scene from White Chicks where Terry Crews sings along to "A Thousand Miles," but the 39-year-old has been quietly thriving since going independent in 2011. More recent albums like Rabbits on the Run and Liberman saw her abandon a radio-friendly style for alt-pop in the realm of I Never Learn-era Lykke Li. Following the Sara Bareilles model, she also took her talents to Broadway this summer to star as Carole King in Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. Carlton still writes about love in a way that cuts through the noise. Premiering today on PAPER from her new album Love Is An Art, "Future Pain" presents a distinctly thirty-something perspective on heartbreak. It's striking to witness the evolution from her teenage, lovestruck masochism (this is the woman who said she'd walk a thousand miles just to see you… tonight). "This song is about repeating a pattern we know has the same unhappy ending and finding comfort in a pattern that is self-destructive," Carlton tells us. "Choosing dark over light. There is darkness in all of us. When and why do we let it win?"

Such good songs Nolita Fairytale! I still remember the first time I ever heard it. I was at an FYE store and it came on on the tvs, and I instantly loved the song and the video. I'd heard some of her music before, but that was the start of me becoming a real fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhyllisDietrichson 105 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 This is good, but I wish she’s do more with her voice instead of whisper-singing throughout the whole song Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fame 3,858 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Although this particular song isn't my favorite of hers, I'm really excited to hear another album from her! Be Not Nobody and Harmonium were simply amazing. <3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
