Cult survivor, femme fatale, avant garde director and filmmaker, vamp-chic singer-songwriter, co-writer behind the scenes of Brittney Spears' hit "Ooh La La," former child ventriloquist: what isn't Lola Blanc? A wildly creative multi-talented artist, Lola Blanc is a shape-shifter of sorts, and now, after the success of her past single "Angry Too" (harnessing over 20 million streams on Spotify and millions more on YouTube), she is coming forward with an equally jaw-dropping spooky single just in time for the colder months: "Here Come the Wolves" (out 9/20). "Here Comes the Wolves" is a song about justice and how we define it. Topical, important, angry, and empowering, this vampire-chic feminist anthem will stop you in your tracks. 

On the song, Blanc shares: "Over the past couple of years, I’ve become very interested in the idea of justice and how we define it. I was finding myself fantasizing about taking down people who’d harmed me, even though I don’t believe in punitive justice in theory. I realized that I believed in people’s potential to reform when they’ve committed crimes that are much worse than some of the things I’ve experienced, but I still had this desire to get revenge in my own life. It got to a point where I couldn’t ignore that incompatibility anymore, and I began to grapple with this idea of punishment. Anger is necessary, but at what point does it stop being healthy? Would revenge undo my trauma? Or would it perpetuate more harm? If someone has committed harm, why did they do it? Did someone harm them? Did society teach them to harm? The more deeply I look into the origins of people’s behavior, the more I tend to find the answer is yes to both of those questions. But even knowing that intellectually, those instincts don’t necessarily go away. That’s what this song is about.

Going into the writing session for this song, I’d made a note on my phone to write a song about wolves, and the day of the session the producer, Bleu, texted me saying he’d had a song idea in a dream - and it was about wolves. I got chills! He ended up using the riff he remembered in his dream for the actual track."

Lola Blanc Bio:

Lola Blanc is a singer/songwriter, filmmaker, actress, cult survivor, and former child ventriloquist whose music reflects the emotive angst of Fiona Apple fused with the haunted cinematic drama of Danny Elfman.

Her last single, "Angry Too," has over 20 million streams on Spotify and millions more on YouTube; it was the opening and closing credits song for the AMAZON film What the Constitution Means to Me last year. Her previous releases have been featured by BILLBOARD, PAPER, V MAGAZINE, i-D, REFINERY29, and more; as a songwriter, Blanc has written for artists like BRITNEY SPEARS.

Blanc’s work as a filmmaker has been spotlighted by BILLBOARD, FANGORIA, FUNNY OR DIE, and prestigious short film channel OMELETO, and has screened at film festivals like FANTASTIC FEST, Oscar-qualifying HOLLYSHORTS, and NANTUCKET FILM FESTIVAL. As a director, she has collaborated with the Lucas Brothers (who were recently OSCAR-NOMINATED for Judas and the Black Messiah), the founder of the SATANIC TEMPLE (recently in the news for their pro-choice work), and more. She is also a founder of Fatale Collective, an all-women horror filmmaking collective; Fatale’s films have screened at major genre film festivals across the world and they are currently developing a feature anthology. As an actor, Blanc has appeared in UNDER THE SILVER LAKE and AMERICAN HORROR STORY, as well as indie and short films that have gone to TRIBECA and SXSW just this year.

Much of her work is inspired by her childhood practicing Mormonism and performing as a ventriloquist with her mother, as well as the time when they fell prey to a charismatic “prophet,” aka a cult leader. She wrote about that experience for VICE, and now co-hosts a podcast called Trust Me: Cults, Extreme Belief, and the Abuse of Power, on the PODCASTONE network. On the show she and her co-host have interviewed survivors of groups like NXIVM, the Manson Family, Heaven's Gate, the Children of God, and many more.

Blanc has over 200,000 followers across all platforms.
