Laura Jadi’s new single ‘don’t get too close‘ marks a powerful evolution in her musical journey, blending haunting melodies with deeply personal lyrics that explore trauma, healing, and emotional survival. Known for her ability to blend pop, R&B, EDM, and alternative influences, Laura takes listeners to a vulnerable and cathartic place on this track—a stark contrast to the glossy façades often seen in pop music.
Inspired by artists like Raye and Sevdaliza, ‘don’t get too close‘ is a sonic exploration of Laura’s journey out of an abusive relationship. The song’s repetitive chant, “don’t get too close”, emerged during a period of deep dissociation, becoming the anthem for a painful yet necessary emotional release. The song unfolds from atmospheric verses into explosive choruses that capture the raw emotion of battling inner demons and reclaiming strength.
Accompanying the release is a gripping music video that visually chronicles Laura’s journey. Through five intense scenes, the video portrays her struggle with mental straitjackets, emotional chaos, and the eventual escape from a toxic past. It’s a powerful visual representation of Laura’s courage in confronting her darkest moments and finding the strength to rebuild.
‘don’t get too close’ is a brave act of vulnerability—an empowering anthem for anyone who has faced trauma, loss, or abuse.
