With her voice as hauntingly beautiful as ever, keep your eyes peeled for about the 1:18 mark where the video’s cinematography takes a subtle and cleverly planned turn. If you want to see Laura Gibson perform live be sure to check her out along with a fantastic line-up of other female performers at the Siren Nation Festivalcoming in November!
