Lindsay Lohan might have surprised her fans on Monday with her release of the music video for her new single ‘Xanax.’ Perhaps to coincide with her role as a judge on Australia’s reality show: The Masked Singer, the music video came as a surprise to most of her fans. But is this the official music video release? The clip, which went viral through her Instagram channel, features numerous awkward but candid shot footage of Lohan, random dudes, and her friends wiping on skateboards. The song has not been made available to streaming services since Lindsay released the video through her Instagram page. Additionally, most parts of the video are formatted to suit the Instagram platform and not the more traditional YouTube or traditional television layout. Could this video be an Instagram-exclusive video that she put together to please her fans?
The video, which you can catch via her Instagram channel, appears to feature moments and clips captured from the singer’s real life, as opposed to the standard and professional video quality you would expect from her music videos. The shots are not well-edited or even polished to be quality enough. The bigger bulk of it features Lindsay meeting a fan in an overseas country, but there seems to be numerous awkward footages; some of them are repeated up to three times. Lindsay later said that the video is a personal compilation of vignettes of life. The shoot features a brief moment of the singer dancing with a younger fan and other random shots of her friends skateboarding. Lindsay went on to say that the footage explores love, family, the process of letting go of past experiences, and moving forward. The video hopes to show people how to live happily, free of all fears. She advises people to be grateful and open up your mind to the numerous opportunities available to us instead of numbing your mind.
Xanax is a poem that hopes to deal with the overpowering expectations that we allow people to place on our lives, allowing anxiety to take a central role in our worlds, and succumbing to external pressure. This footage, basically, features images that show when Lohan threw the anxiety shackles off and found more happiness and peace in her life as a result. Even though we do not quite understand every piece of the video, the song is definitely a hit. The work of art prides in a great rhythm, a great hook, and she sounds great. Many people do not know much about Lindsay’s singing career, but it seemed tempting to take off at around the same time that her career trajectory was sinking.
Rumors, Lindsay’s biggest hit was released in 2004; Xanax essentially marks her return to the music scene since 2008. It is still not known whether radio will pick the release, but it might not be needed if enough of her fans start playing and sharing it through their social media handles. At the moment, Lindsay will continue to play her role as a judge on the Australian show: The Masked Singer. It is quite conceivable that she mind be tempted to perform this song on that show before the season is up. Last month, Blast got a preview of the song; the lyrics are related to Lindsay’s personal life. She mentions something in lines of living the best life in Los Angeles and chasing after someone’s love: someone who might have been bad for her. Lindsay compares this experience to taking anti-anxiety drugs.
People close to Lindsay told the Blast that she always felt that the lyrics were very truthful to her real-life experiences. Her close friends said that the song is mostly about how toxic friends can harm you, such as distracting them from their life paths just like drugs can. Different sources have suggested that the song tried to tell listeners that you do not have to numb yourself, and only you should be in control of your life.
Lindsay Lohan has been teasing fresh music for a few months, posting on different social media platforms photos of her trying to piece up something in the studio. She recently posted a picture inside Republic Records Studios which she captioned @republicrecords@casablancarecords. Xanax is strikingly similar to Lohan’s classic songs. She has released two albums Speak and A Little More Personal in 2004 and 2005 respectively. Speak was certified platinum — meaning that it sold more than a million copies and the follow-up album went gold — meaning that it sold over 500,000 copies. She broke out into the music scene through her hit song: Rumors. Through this song, Lindsay spoke about her desire to see everyone breaking up. Her next hit was Confessions of a Broken Heart, which spoke of her relationship with her father. The last music we ever heard from Lindsay was Bossy in 2008, which Ne-Yo produced. On Monday, Lindsay tweeted that the song was her truth, her honesty. She said that she was previously physically hurt and hit by what she always believed to be ‘her person.’ She advises ladies to stay strong.
A Short Description
The music video begins with a short snippet of a video where Lindsay’s younger sister, Aliana, walks towards the camera. Many other shots feature her younger brother, 23-year-old Cody riding a skateboard at a skate park. In the video, some of his attempts at doing a flick go wrong. Next is a video snippet of Lindsay’s brother, thirty-one-year-old Lohan Jr, smiling at the camera. Lindsay then appears in a Middle location, taking a bouquet of flowers at an outdoor event with a few photographers. Lindsay has a home in Dubai. The video runs for two minutes. In the end, a man who appears to be Cody appears wearing a hoodie and talking some vulgar at the camera about a woman called Becky who had asked him not to wear a sweatshirt, which she thought ruined his hair.
