Interview with Laura Bell Bundy

Together with American Songwriter, we had the pleasure of interviewing Laura Bell Bundy over Zoom video! Actress, singer, and Tony nominated Broadway star, Laura Bell Bundy just released her new single "American Girl", with the video premiering February 12th, 2021. It will be the third single off of her upcoming album "Women of Tomorrow" coming out spring 2021. Women Of Tomorrow is encapsulating the experience of the modern woman today. These original songs cover issues like equal pay, breaking the glass ceiling, over-apologizing, the mental load of motherhood, pitting women against each other, holding women to unrealistic beauty standards, the obsession with social media, ownership over women's bodies, doing it all, and the relationship to men. "American Girl" powerfully addresses the hardships and standards of being a woman in America, lyrically and cinematically. The first single from the album "Get It Girl, You Go" featured Anika Nonie Rose & Shoshana Bean, the first single and the video, which premiered on People online, celebrated the centennial anniversary of women's suffrage and showcased all the democratic female candidates who ran for national office in 2020 and includes cameos from celebrities such as Brittany Snow, Anna Camp, Cecily Strong, Samantha Bee, Ingrid Michaelson, Mickey Guyton & various other stars of Broadway and TV. The second single was a stirring rendition of the Cyndi Lauper classic "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" premiered on Parade online.
