Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Laura Pieri Drops New Music Video for “Daughter of Demeter”
Brazilian singer-songwriter Laura Pieri dropped a new music video for her latest song “Daughter of Demeter” directed by Maíra Sarmento on May 1, 2024.
The song was released from her upcoming EP “Frankie” on April 19, 2024.
Inspired by the story of the goddess Persephone, the song is a mesmerizing, cinematic pop anthem.
The track was written by Laura Seripieri and Skyler Cocco.
“I never really understood why I felt so connected to Persephone, the goddess and the myth. In my moments of deep despair, I always found myself calling to her energy,” Laura Pierisaid of the song. “This song, and video, are fantastical versions of what that feels like. They're also a puzzle piece that fit into a larger picture of the story of a young girl coming to terms with her own self, her story, and who she is.”- She continued, “The story as you know it describes her as a little girl, a victim, helpless in shaping her destiny, an innocent nymph stolen and imprisoned. Is that really how it went down? What if she wanted more than flowers? What if Hades was taken with her ambition? Impressed by her fire? She walks the gardens of Earth and her presence makes flowers bloom, but she skips, carefree, in the Underworld walking amongst the dead. She didn't wait for anyone to rescue her. She could've been just a nymph, forgotten, but not Persephone. In death, she will be your queen. I like to think she giggles when she hears how the souls fear her husband, thinking: it is me who they should fear.”

The new EP “Frankie” is expected to be released this summer, and came to be when Laura Pieri was at the point of almost giving up on her career.
Inspired by what her farewell to the industry should sound like, the story of Frankie, a woman reclaiming her power, was born. In an EP that cycles through the great, bad, good, and ugly of self-discovery, she rediscovers her voice.
