Pop’s most bewitching new name Laurel unveils her much anticipated video for track ‘Fire Breather’.
The video (Laurel’s first), directed by Patrick Killingbeck and shot in Camber Sands, has a cinematic feel with striking imagery that really sets the tone for the hauntingly beautiful track that was written, sung and produced by Laurel herself.
Laurel comments on the video: “Fire Breather is based on a destructive relationship, and feeling in the shadow of the person that you love. In a way they capture you so you can’t think straight and be rational. The video was set in camber sands on a trailer park, I wanted to create a really raw and dark image to bring out other themes and feelings in the song”
Laurel’s poignant blend of piano, beats and strings sounds almost otherworldly and captivates you immediately. ‘Fire Breather’ is her first official release which is available for free download now alongside b-side track ‘The Desert’.
Hailing from a tiny town somewhere between Southampton and Portsmouth, 19 year old singer, songwriter and producer Laurel has been gigging since the age of 14, performing all of her own material and discarding the notion of covers. Following the completion of her College exams, Laurel moved to London and ended up inking a deal with Turn First Artists (home to the management to Rita Ora and Ellie Goulding) off the strength of a solo demo. And continuing to go from strength to strength, Laurel caused quite a stir following the release of her arresting track ‘Blue Blood’ which sent blogs into a frenzy, hit no.3 on Hype Machine and has amassed over 100,000 soundcloud plays to date. ‘Fire Breather’ has already caused quite a stir with the release of the stream and now, the captivating video is set to do just the same!
enjoY!
