Publicity Campaign: Lara Villani - ‘Losing my mind’

Lara Villani continues her meteoric rise in the Australian music scene with the release of her latest single, ‘Losing my mind’, out 21 May.

Following the success of her previous tracks ‘Fire’ and ‘I love it’, this new release showcases Lara’s signature blend of R&B and pop while diving deep into infatuation’s chaotic, all-consuming nature. ‘Losing my mind’ captures that intense emotional whirlwind when thoughts spiral uncontrollably around someone who has completely captivated you. With its dramatic, layered production and raw lyricism, the track embodies passion, vulnerability, and the emotional overload that comes with being in too deep. Reflecting on the song, Lara explains, “This track is about that chaotic mix of emotions — where you know it might not be good for you, but you’re too far gone to pull away. It’s dramatic, a little unhinged, but also very real. We’ve all had those moments where our feelings take over.”

This release follows Lara Villani’s incredible streak. Her previous singles, ‘Fire’ and ‘I love it’, being spotlighted by Rolling Stone Australia as one of the Best Australian Music of the Week and received glowing praise from Buzz Music for its “raw emotion and sonic evolution.” Lara has also been championed by Triple J, with airplay on Soul CTRL and Unearthed Tops, and her work has been celebrated by publications like Happy Mag, Out in Perth, and Something You Said. A recent review on Triple J described her sound as “seductive and sexy, giving very 2000’s R&B vibes.”

The accompanying visuals for ‘Losing my mind’ promise to be just as captivating, with bold, evocative imagery that aligns with the themes of obsession and passion. This track is part of Lara’s debut EP, ‘Whiplash’, a collection exploring love, identity, and self-discovery, solidifying her reputation as one of Australia’s most exciting new voices.
