We’re thrilled to celebrate the radiant return of our friend and dance-pop icon Lara McAllen, the voice of the legendary Euro-dance group Angel City, with her brand-new single and video, Love Me Right 2025. She looks amazing, sounds even better, and proves once again why she’s a timeless force in electronic music.
A Legacy Reimagined
Angel City first burst onto the scene in the early 2000s, blending euphoric trance-pop with Lara’s unmistakable vocals. Their debut album Love Me Right (2005) featured hits like “Do You Know (I Go Crazy)” and “Sunrise,” and sold over 160,000 copies in the UK alone. Their breakout single “Love Me Right (Oh Sheila)”—a reimagining of the 1985 Ready for the World hit—became a club anthem across Europe.
Now, in 2025, Lara and Angel City are back with a fresh take on that classic: Love Me Right 2025. This new version is a sleek, modernized homage to the original, infused with shimmering synths, a pulsing bassline, and Lara’s signature vocal magic.
Behind the Music
The 2025 version is a slick, contemporary sound that still nods to the early 2000s dancefloor energy. The track samples the original “Oh Sheila” by Ready for the World, but flips it with a futuristic twist that feels both nostalgic and brand new.
In Lara’s own words:
“This song has always been close to my heart. Revisiting it in 2025 felt like the perfect way to celebrate where we’ve been—and where we’re going. It’s about empowerment, fun, and feeling fabulous in your own skin.”
A Living Canvas of Style and Power
The official music video, directed by Jessi Clover Belgrave and shot by Vladimir Woodham-Smith of Plastic Fruit Studios, is a stunning visual experience. Set in a sleek, contemporary space worthy of a millennium queen, the video showcases Lara in a series of high-glam looks as she moves with effortless grace and confidence surrounded by a dance force. It’s a bold celebration of empowerment, elegance, and enduring style. Effortless just like us!
Final Notes
Lara McAllen is more than a voice—she’s a presence. And with Love Me Right 2025, she’s reminding us all why we fell in love with Angel City in the first place. We’re proud to call her a friend of It’s Not You, It’s Me, and we can’t wait to see what she does next.
