Bassist Laura Pieri Rings In New Era of Music with New Single, “Just a Little”

Brazilian-born, NYC-based artist Laura Pieri begins a brand new chapter with the release of her newest single, “Just a Little.”

The single caps off a month of Halloween-esque storytelling. Throughout October, Pieri reimagined iconic songs through a series of darkly cinematic covers, from Lady Gaga’s “Marry the Night” to Charli XCX’s “party 4 u” and Rihanna’s “Disturbia,” each exploring a different archetype of feminine power. The project extended beyond music, coming to life through immersive visuals, stories on her new Substack, and her annual Halloween party in New York at The Box.

Now, with “Just a Little,” Pieri brings her month-long creative world to a feverish climax. The hypnotic, seductive new single explores the tension between temptation and control. It’s about the thrill of flirting with danger without completely surrendering to it.

“Sweet and sour, playful and self-aware, ‘Just a Little’ carries the belief that desire and shame are two sides of the same coin,” Pieri shares. “I’ve always struggled with feeling like I’m too much, like I don’t belong, like being this way made me broken. ‘Just a Little’ became a kind of reclamation, not just of desire, but of self-permission. It’s the moment I stopped trying to edit my instincts to fit someone else’s moral architecture. Because aren’t we all, just a little sinful?”

With the release of “Just a Little,” Laura is ushering in a new era of music following the success of her 2024 acclaimed EP, Frankie. 

Born in São Paulo and now living in New York City, Laura Pieri has been chasing music for as long as she can remember. There was never a single moment of realization; music has always been part of her identity. Over the last few years, Pieri has carved a distinct path in pop, earning features in outlets like FLAUNT, Mundane Magazine, and Northern Transmissions.
