Rising pop singer and songwriter Laura Pieri is embracing the spirit of the season with a bold new creative project: a series of Halloween-themed cover songs and visuals celebrating women who’ve long been labeled as too much, too intense, too dramatic, or too free. The series launched this week with Pieri’s haunting reinterpretation of Lady Gaga’s “Marry the Night,” available now on her YouTube channel.

“The vampire made perfect sense with ‘Marry the Night’: the kiss of the vampire is eternal, it’s a kind of marriage,” Pieri shares. “Lady Gaga has always lived in that fantasy; she’s a vampire woman, powerful and unafraid of the dark. In my version, I wanted to strip the song down, bring a bit of my Brazilian identity — that raw, live texture — to let the darkness sound human, to make it feel alive.”

Throughout October, Pieri will release three covers, each channeling a distinct character and reimagining the female archetypes she’s reclaiming. She’s also launched a Substack, where she’s writing a story for each persona — beginning with The Vampire, The Bride of Gravenholt, which is live now. The series will culminate on October 31 with an original song, marking a bold new chapter in her artistry.

This new era arrives on the heels of Pieri’s release of Frankie (ON THE DANCEFLOOR), the high-octane counterpart to her acclaimed 2024 EP, Frankie. Featuring reimagined, club-ready versions of the original tracks alongside a brand-new single, Frankie (ON THE DANCEFLOOR) saw Pieri transforming her story of survival into one of celebration.

Born in São Paulo and now living in New York City, Laura Pieri has been chasing music for as long as she can remember. There was never a single moment of realization; music has simply always been part of her identity. Over the last few years, Pieri has carved a distinct path in pop, earning features in outlets like FLAUNT, Mundane Magazine, and Northern Transmissions.

A true multidisciplinary artist, Pieri approaches every project with a fully realized vision. She not only writes and performs her music, but also immerses herself in the visual world surrounding it.
