Lauren Minear Returns With Dark Alt-Pop Single ‘Perfect Girl’
New York City-based indie folk pop singer-songwriter Lauren Minear returns with her brand new single Perfect Girl, a razor-sharp, darkly playful exploration of what it means to be a woman expected to shapeshift endlessly to please others.
Written from the perspective of a fictional, satirical character, Perfect Girl finds the talented artist capturing the inhumanity of trying to be universally palatable, leaning into the absurdity of perfection and the way chasing it strips away humanity in the process. A defiant and liberating song that highlights the impossible standards women navigate every day, which is delivered through Minear's rich, confident vocals. Accompanying her rich vocal delivery we have a captivating dark-pop production that features infectious rhythms nicely intertwined with lush guitar riffs, subtle piano keys and robotic textures that together create an overall confident and captivating listening experience!
Speaking about the song, Lauren Minear said,
This song is unlike anything else I’ve ever written. It plays with themes of body privilege and power to illustrate how the construct of perfection hurts and disconnects everyone (including men).
