The latest track, ‘Wild Things’, showcases Laurel’s striking vocal prowess and introspective lyricism as she passionately sings of “chasing troubles” and searching for “the real thing”. Balancing the serious with the playful, the single beams with an anthemic feel – a summer-ready cut of polished pop glory. The song sets the tone for the record as Laurel offers a glimpse of the deeply personal songwriting and powerful vocals at the heart of the album. With themes of love, freedom, vulnerability, and embracing your authentic self while keeping it light with catchy pop sonics throughout, Laurel delivers 12 tracks of pop brilliance on PALPITATIONS, all filtered through a haze of complex-yet-relatable emotions.
Of the meaning behind the song and the record, Laurel reveals, “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.”
The music video directed by Elliott Ardnt finds Laurel basking in sunsets and dancing through deserts, in a haze of dreamy, cinematic colour and futuristic visuals. Laurel celebrates letting go and being a ‘Wild Thing’, as she enjoys the moment for what it is without any expectations or societal pressures. Watch the music video for ‘Wild Things’ here.
Coming in hot on the heels of a sold out intimate showcase celebrating her new creative era at London’s Oslo on 29th February, 2024 is gearing up for what promises to be an unforgettable year for Laurel – a moment where she’ll finally step up to the pop throne.
