Acclaimed artist, film director, and Trust Me podcast co-host Lola Blanc returns with her latest single, Everybody, a haunting, theatrical ballad delving into the twisted pursuit of external validation, and the bloody lengths one might go for a round of applause.

Paired with a self-directed horror short film/music video, the track marks a bold chapter in Blanc’s multifaceted career. Drawing inspiration from Black Swan, Chicago, and vintage Hollywood glamour, the video stars Blanc alongside actress Lindsey Normington (Anora) in a chilling, visually striking tale of performance, desperation, and self-destruction.

In the video, Blanc plays a performer whose grip on the spotlight slips as she fights to captivate her audience. Dripping in theatricality and gore, the film is a visceral display of obsession with approval, merging performance art, horror, and psychological unraveling.

Blanc, often likened to Kate Bush and Fiona Apple for her emotionally rich vocals and lyrical depth, is celebrated for her dark, cinematic aesthetic and politically infused themes. This single is a taste of her forthcoming debut album, due later this year - a project that promises to continue fusing her love of horror, social commentary, and powerful storytelling.

With over 200 million streams across platforms, Lola Blanc has cemented herself as a genre-defying force. Her work, spanning music, film, and podcasting, has been spotlighted by the likes of The New York Times, Pitchfork, Billboard, V Magazine, Harper’s Bazaar, and i-D.

As a director, she’s collaborated with talent including Madeline Brewer (The Handmaid’s Tale, You) and Kenny Lucas (Judas and the Black Messiah), with her films featured in Palm Springs International Film Festival, Fantasia, Sitges, and Fangoria. Her hit podcast Trust Me, exploring cults and manipulation, has amassed 9 million+ downloads and counting, and she was recently featured as a cult expert in Netflix’s How to Become a Cult Leader.

Billboard - “Influenced by Tom Waits, Ella Fitzgerald, Fiona Apple and Gwen Stefani, she conjures a world of the dramatic and theatrical.”

Pop Crush - “Los Angeles alt-pop artist Lola Blanc - the sultry sonic lovechild of Danny Elfman and Kylie Minogue - enchants on her spellbinding new single, "The Magic."

Lola Blanc is an artist, filmmaker, and podcaster whose music has garnered hundreds of millions of streams across platforms, including her feminist alt-pop hit “Angry Too.”

Known for her dark, cinematic music videos and short films with social commentary and elevated horror undertones, much of Blanc’s work is inspired by her childhood experience believing in a cult leader. Her podcast about cults, also entitled “Trust Me,” has been featured by the NEW YORK TIMES and HARPER’S BAZAAR and has 9 million downloads and counting. She is featured as an expert in NETFLIX’s How to Become a Cult Leader and will appear in additional upcoming cult documentaries.
