The fourth album by Lala Lala, aka Lillie West, Heaven 2 is a warm, punchy collection of indie-pop songs shaped by movement, restlessness, and the decision to finally stand still. It follows the widely acclaimed The Lamb, praised by Pitchfork as “an unflinching reflection on the courage of rejecting easy comforts,” and marks West’s debut for Sub Pop. Co-produced by West and Jay Som’s Melina Duterte, Heaven 2 pairs crisp, immediate songwriting with a renewed sense of clarity and confidence. Where earlier releases wrestled with upheaval and escape, these songs lean into presence - finding beauty, connection, and momentum without needing to run. Written across Chicago, New Mexico, Iceland, London, and Los Angeles, the album carries traces of each place without being anchored to any one of them. Its core idea is simple but hard-won: fulfilment isn’t somewhere else, it’s wherever you choose to be. Duterte and West handle most of the instrumentation, with select contributions from Sen Morimoto and Aaron Maine. The result is a bold, assured statement - direct, melodic, and quietly joyful in its acceptance.
