Lauren Spencer Smith Releases Powerful New Single: "Fantasy"

Lauren Spencer Smith has done it again with another absolute bop. Her latest single "Fantasy", featuring GAYLE and Em Beihold explores the all-too-relatable experience of being stuck in a toxic relationship, only to realize that the whole thing was just a fantasy that turned into a train-wreck.

The song showcases Smith's ability to blend contemporary pop-rock with elements of R&B and soul, all while telling a powerful story. Despite the melancholy nature of the lyrics mirroring the grey atmospheric visuals of the music video, these three women maintain unflinching gazes and confident personas while putting on a performance in front of their car that screams "we run this show." This juxtaposition creates a compelling contrast between the emotional turmoil expressed in the song's lyrics and the empowered, assertive energy of these resilient women.

It's safe to say we expected nothing less from Lauren Spencer Smith, the quickly rising star whose success speaks for itself. She has already surpassed one billion global artist streams, and her singles "Fingers Crossed," "Flowers," and "Narcissist" have all earned RIAA Platinum Certification. Lauren not only performed at the 2022 People’s Choice Awards and was nominated for "Best New Artist", but Apple Music even selected her as one of their “5 Breakthrough Artists Of 2022"!

As Smith gears up to release her debut album this summer via Island Records/Republic Records, "Fantasy" serves as a promising preview of what's to come. If this track is any indication of what we can expect from this upcoming album, we can safely assume that we're in for some boss tunes... and I may know a thing or two about being a boss, but I'll leave the singing to Smith.
