Shut Em Up is a new ‘f*** you’ anthem brought to you by Lauren Sanderson, a new queer bad-girl on the music scene. The Miami Vice style of the video matches her swagger and iconic style perfectly. The attitude and careless disposition that Sanderson presents throughout the video makes her both tough and sexy. The graphics resemble that 2000’s clip art we all know and love, placed against the trippy follow cam of Sanderson showcases her artistry. This 22-year-old from Indiana doesn’t care what you think and wants you to know it. Her third EP is out worldwide now so check out “DONT PANIC!” now. The driving beat is sure to get you fired up whether you’re driving around the city, in the gym, or out with friends.
Sanderson got her start as a motivational speaker (watch her ted x talk here) and YouTube personality before branching out into the non-genre breakout star she is today. She’s had a big year, from moving to LA and signing with Epic Records. Before signing with Epic Records, she was a one-woman show: she shipped her merch, produced and wrote her songs, and doing her own marketing and PR.
To see how far and versatile Sanderson is, check out her video for Oceans. It is raw and emotional a great juxtaposition to Shut Em Up. Follow her on Instagram @laurensanderson.
