Laurel Releases New Single, ‘Wild Things’ and Announces New Album, ‘Palpitations’

Embarking on a year that holds the promise of unforgettable moments, the British-born, LA-based singer-songwriter, LAUREL, has unveiled her latest single, Wild Things. In tandem with this exciting release, she unveils the revelation that her second studio album, titled ‘PALPITATIONS,’ is set to captivate audiences on June 14th.

Seamlessly balancing seriousness with playfulness, the single exudes an anthemic quality— a refined pop gem primed for the summer spotlight. ‘Wild Things’ serves as a fitting introduction to her forthcoming album, ‘PALPITATIONS,’ offering a sneak peek into the deeply personal songwriting and formidable vocals that define the record. Exploring love, freedom, vulnerability, and the journey to embrace authenticity, LAUREL weaves a tapestry of 12 pop brilliance tracks, each infused with catchy sonic allure and a haze of complex yet relatable emotions.

Running to the ends of the world to find ‘the real thing’ – something that feels true – but everywhere you go you’re still searching. You can’t find it because what you’re looking for in the world can only be found within you – inner peace. Each song on my record can be felt as a palpitation. A moment of angst, adrenaline, love, sorrow, heartache, euphoria. Emotions that are so strong that they make your heart skip a beat.” – LAUREL.

In the visually stunning music video helmed by director Elliott Ardnt, LAUREL immerses herself in the warmth of sunsets and gracefully navigates through expansive deserts. The dreamy, cinematic hues and futuristic visuals create a captivating backdrop, transporting viewers into a world where every frame is a work of art. The video captures LAUREL’s celebration of letting go, portraying her as a ‘Wild Thing’ revelling in the present moment. Unfettered by expectations or societal pressures, she dances with abandon, embodying the essence of freedom and unrestrained joy, beautifully encapsulating the spirit of the song.

Wild Things is available now, while the album, PALPITATIONS is available 14 June.
