Alt-pop singer-songwriter Lauren Presley returns with her new single ‘AMERICAS SWEETHEARTS’’—a pulsating rock-inspired song that takes aim at the double-standards between men and women in today’s society.
‘America’s Sweetheart’ is a song that highlights antiquated ideals that often go unnoticed. She rode a wave of inspiration after seeing the Barbie movie, and wanted to bring to light experiences that she and many women have had, singing over an eerie, hip-hop driven verse “Oh thank God, they can tell me where my place is. At the kitchen sink, watered down dreams in the dishes.”
She explains “I want to be clear, this is not a song about hating on men, I just had some things I felt like I needed to say. Some of the experiences I wrote about, I have gone through myself and it sucks! So if I can bring that to light, I’ve done my part!”
It’s a pop track with an edge. Her ethereal and catchy melodies float over up-tempo hip hop style beats and occasional sample chops, all whilst being driven forward by a heavy staccato guitar. It took Lauren and her co-writers multiple attempts to nail the track but believed in the concept so much that they persevered “this is a friendly reminder, if you believe in something, keep trying!" she says
