Lal Tuna shares ‘Car Crashes’ ahead of September release
French-based artist Lal Tuna has released her new single ‘Car Crashes,’ offering a more hopeful and psychedelic-leaning side to her songwriting.
Written, performed, and produced between 2024 and 2025 in Bordeaux, ‘Car Crashes’ takes inspiration from Americana influences like The Dandy Warhols and PJ Harvey while nodding to mainstream pop giants such as Taylor Swift. Entirely recorded in her apartment, the track captures the ambiguity of artistic life through a coming-of-age lens, intertwining themes of self-discovery and sexual liberation. While the song carries a brighter tone than her previous single, Television Forever, its melancholic undercurrent lingers in the chorus: “No one’s ever gonna save me / Just fake a smile and call it a day.”
Lal Tuna shares:
“I grew up fearing many things, mostly the unknown, but as I grew up and found true love, I began to overcome my fears and learned to live in the moment, embracing who I truly am. This song is about that feeling.”
The track is paired with a self-made music video filmed in Turkey, drawing influence from 90s kitsch road trip films, particularly those by Oliver Stone. Using plastic, fake, and uncanny American images, the visuals extend Lal Tuna’s exploration of obsession and artificiality in modern life.
‘Car Crashes’ is out now.
