La La Land reminds me of Flash in the way that the naration is more
documentary... like he's just an observer of the going's on around him and
he's making comments along the way. Velvet always come across as quite
detached in his lyrical delivery.

I am not sure if La La Land is actually sensationalising drug use, it's
much
more ambiguous, to my ears. It mixes well with Purple Pills though.
