Lara Villani Releases Strong New Single, “Ghost of You”

Naarm/Melbourne singer-songwriter Lara Villani has just dropped her fabulous new single, “Ghost of You.” It’s got more of a rock edge than her debut “STOP”, so make sure you crank it up. If you’ve ever had to pick yourself up after someone broke your trust, I know this track will resonate with you.

“This song was really fun to write and it reflects a journey of healing and self-discovery after experiencing the haunting echoes of past relationships and betrayal,” Lara said.

The single’s accompanied by a visually stunning music video directed by Mertcan Damoglu and produced by Caleb Keyte from Tier One Productions.

“In the music video I am portraying a figment of someone’s imagination,” Lara explained. “So many times when you’re in a toxic relationship you can have your blinkers on, but there’s always that little voice in your head telling you to get out. I wanted to portray this in a visual way for the song.”

With two songs out in the world, Lara assures us that she’ll step onto the stage for the very first time really soon. Keep an eye on her socials for all the details on that when they drop.

Lara Villani Makes Powerful Debut With “STOP”

Naarm/Melbourne-based singer-songwriter Lara Villani has just dropped her debut single, “STOP,” and it’s really something special. Through its deeply personal lyrics, Lara shares the physical and mental challenges she’s overcome to emerge the artist she is today. While it deals with darkness, it’s ultimately so uplifting.

“‘STOP’ is a very important track for me,” Lara shared. “Not only is it my first single, but it is a deeply personal song which is drawn from a really difficult and personal experience I had in my life. When I was 19-20 years old, I was in a really bad place. I had just been through an extremely awful experience and found myself severely lonely and left badly hurt. ‘STOP’ is about this journey and the mental and physical battles that I was overcoming.”

That journey is brought to life in the music video for “STOP”, directed by Mertcan Damoglu and produced by Tier One Productions’ Caleb Keyte. In it we see scenes of Lara at her piano juxtaposed with a car crash victim, a physical representation of her pain and hurt.

Lara plans to release several more songs through 2024, so make sure you keep an eye on her socials to learn about them first.
