Multi-hyphenate powerhouse Lauren Marcus is releasing her latest single, “Skinny & Blonde,” on all streaming platforms this Friday, October 27. Additionally, fans can catch her live performance of the song at Rockwood Music Hall on Sunday, November 12th at 7pm. Tickets are available for purchase here.
The single’s release will be accompanied by a thrilling music video, timed perfectly for Halloween excitement, set to premiere on Monday, October 30th on Lauren’s YouTube channel. In the spirit of the season, the video playfully delves into the theme of authenticity in identity by experimenting with different looks with wigs and wardrobe changes, adding an extra layer of Halloween fun to the experience.
In addition to the Broadway-caliber vocals that fans have come to expect from Marcus, “Skinny & Blonde” also features a timeless message in today’s age of social media: conforming to others’ expectations comes at a steep cost. The song’s core message is about staying true to oneself, and Marcus encourages listeners to celebrate their authentic selves rather than striving for a diluted version of someone else. Her message is rooted in her personal journey.
