Emerging altpop artist Lauren Presley unveils her debut official music video "Straitjacket," its release both cutting and unsettling arriving on October 31st alongside the single. The track directly confronts the gaslighting trope with irony, simmering anger, and a sardonic edge, effectively redefining the overused and abused "crazy" label applied to women.
With a hook both chilling and catchy “Put me in a straitjacket” Lauren flips the script, seizing the label to expose and subvert its weight.
Directed by Working Holiday, produced with an $8,000 budget, the video emphasizes the song's dark, cinematic nature: ghostly imagery, disturbing textures, and a visual aesthetic mirrors the intensity of her vocals. The result, is a visual debut, resonates with artists like Halsey, Nessa Barrett, and Kenzie and, in perfect harmony with Halloween's spooky ambiance.
The release already has support from DMY, Earmilk, No Transmission, and The Luna Collective.
