In the ethereal glow of the city that never sleeps, as the clock struck the witching hour on Valentine’s Day 2017, Laurissa Romain, also affectionately known as “Lala,” unveiled a new chapter in her artistic journey. With the excitement of a hushed secret finally revealed, she introduced the world to her latest musical creation, “Wasn’t Love,” through the digital stage of YouTube, inviting the globe to tune in to the rhythms of her heart and soul.

Romain, whose talents span the spectrum of the performing arts, crafted this song with the poetic partnership of Eren Cannata amidst the creative sanctuary of Cove City Sound Studios. It was more than a song; it was a narrative woven from the threads of her personal tapestry, set to melodies that resonate with the truths of a journey both personal and universal.

The music video for “Wasn’t Love,” a visual feast orchestrated by director Marvin Van Buren and captured through the lens of cinematographer Zack Grullón, promised to be a testament to Romain’s multifaceted artistry. Her creative vision was brought to life, encapsulating the emotions and story that the song whispered to those who dared to listen.

Romain, a dynamo on the Broadway stage, had previously breathed life into the classic “South Pacific” at the esteemed Lincoln Center Theater. Her versatility as an actress, singer, dancer, and model also shone through in her film and television roles, including the wit and wisdom of Chris Rock’s “Top Five,” the familial antics of the TBS show “Are We There Yet?” starring Terry Crews, and the kinetic beauty captured in Jordan Matter’s “Dancers Among Us.”

Her visage and voice have graced numerous commercials for brands like Heely’s and BMW, and her vocal talents have been lent to iconic brands such as HESS Truck and Kleenex. As a voiceover artist, her resonance has been a backdrop to the airwaves of stations like Z100.

The echoes of her voice have also blended with the high notes of the music industry’s divas; she sang backup for Mariah Carey, with moves choreographed by the legendary Debbie Allen, during the Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting. She lent her voice to harmonize with Keri Hilson at the UNICEF 5th Avenue Snowflake Lighting, a stage where stars and philanthropy aligned.

With “Wasn’t Love” marking only the beginning of her ventures into the world of music videos, anticipation was building for the other works she had in the pipeline. As her star continued to rise, the media took notice. Interviews were set to stream live, with esteemed publications like Elle, Marie Claire, 17 Magazine, and Fader, each ready to peel back the layers of her artistry and reveal the essence of Lala to their audiences.

For those who had yet to discover Laurissa “Lala” Romain, the invitation was clear: join her journey, witness her evolution, and be part of the narrative she was crafting, note by beautiful note.
