Los Angeles native Lauren Rocket’s been around town, first through her power-pop outfit Rocket, later joining Junkie XL, the Living Things, and recently Night Terrors of 1927. The singer-songwriter goes solo in her new single, “All The Things She Said,” a cover of the track by the beloved Russian pop duo T.A.T.U. This is her first single of 2021 since the release of her debut album _Skygirl_ in August of 2020.
Lauren states, “This song, ‘All The Things She Said’ really made an impact on me in my formative years, and has always stuck with me. I think it’s one of the most brilliant pop songs ever written, and I’ve always dreamt of covering it and making it my own. It’s interesting to me that in 2002 when this song was released, the topic of same sex relationships was still considered taboo! And that was only about 20 years ago! It’s amazing to see the progress of acceptance in such a short amount of time, and I do believe this is a song that needs to be heard with a new perspective in our current and more progressive climate.“
“The video, which I co-directed with Linus Dotson, was so much fun to make. I wanted the visual to be viscerally emotive, dark, melancholic, and cinematic. The video features myself and the amazingly talented dancer Elaine Irene Starr, who really added a creepy yet beautiful element to the piece. I really have to give credit to our stylist, Soaree Cohen, who really created the characters I had envisioned and brought them to life stylistically. It was overall an extremely fulfilling creative project.”
