There’s something dangerous about the desire to be loved. In Everybody, Lola Blanc turns that twisted pursuit into something blood-soaked, theatrical, and hypnotically human.
The acclaimed artist, director, and Trust Me podcast co-host returns with her latest single - a haunting ballad about the price we pay for validation. And the cost, as Blanc shows us, is steep.
Released alongside a self-directed horror short film/music video, Everybody isn’t just a song - it’s a cinematic event. Think Black Swan meets Chicago, dressed in vintage Hollywood glamour and drenched in desperation. Starring Blanc herself alongside Anora’s Lindsey Normington, the video pulls us into a surreal, unsettling spiral of performance and self-destruction - a world where beauty is pain and applause might just kill you.
Known for her sharp, dark-edged storytelling - both in sound and on screen - Lola Blanc has built a career on exposing the shadows. Whether she’s writing feminist anthems like Angry Too, crafting horror-drenched short films, or co-hosting her cult-focused podcast Trust Me (which has racked up over 9 million downloads), she’s not afraid to go where it hurts.
