Laura Cheadle is gearing up for the music video release for her single “Everybody Say” and Celeb Secrets has your first look at the stunning new visual.
Award-winning Laura Cheadle uses her R&B sound and soulful pipes to uplift and captivate her listeners – some may even say it’s her superpower. Listening to the recent release “Everybody Say,” is like taking a breath of fresh air, as her raw and passionate lyrics will give you the right energy you need to turn a bad day around or put you in a positive mindset.
The pop-soul musician is a dynamic songwriter and a relatable storyteller. So, it’s no surprise that she put pen to paper during quarantine to document her real-life experience. While many singers in the industry wrote about the hardships during isolation, Cheadle decided to be the voice of reason and hope during the dark time.
“Everybody Say” is a reflection of manifesting positivity throughout the quarantine.This is a hard time for everyone and If I can be of service as a musician to bring happiness, even for a moment, that’s what I want to accomplish with this song. This song exudes a feeling of hope and spreads the message that it will be okay,” says the talented soloist to Celeb Secrets.
The up-tempo track features a “whoa-centric” hook and showcases her vocal control as she demonstrates outstanding and clean riffs throughout the ballad. However, what brings this track to the next level, is the unique use of her family’s talent. If you listen closely, you will hear Cheadle’s mother on background vocals and her brother on the guitar.
To go along with the single’s inspiring message, she channeled her inner creativity to bring her lyrics to life. In fact, due to the pandemic, the songstress had to think outside the box to maintain CDC guidelines. Therefore, she reached out to her friends at KXB Studio to help her produce a quality “at home” music video.
“The music video was filmed by KXB Studio here in Philadelphia. KXB Studio is a full-service animation company,” says Laura. “Since filming took place during quarantine and I couldn’t include other people into the video, it was filmed in my music loft at home. Klementina Budnik, owner of KXB Studio had me on a treadmill walking, playing with a giant fluff cotton ball, and filmed me playing multiple instruments,” she adds.
When you sit down and watch the animated music video, you will see talking flowers and even some furry friends. “I really want people to listen/ watch the video and be taken on a journey of joy. No matter what is going on in their lives, I hope this song can make you smile. I had such an amazing time writing and recording this song. It truly healed me in such an uncertain time,” says the artist after Celeb Secrets asked her about the key takeaways from the track.
As she continues to create waves in the entertainment industry, Laura warns music-goers to buckle up because she’s currently working on other buzzworthy tunes that will be hitting streaming platforms soon. “My new album, Shine This Lifetime will be coming out. This entire album features all upbeat and uplifting music. I knew in order to make myself whole, it had to come from within. I actually hadn’t released an album in a few years since I was touring on the road. The quarantine allowed me to regroup my soul and write. I really feel this is my best album yet and came from a beautiful and genuine place.”
