New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Fresh off the heels of her breakthrough hit single and viral music video, "Chuck Norris," nationally televised and internationally recognized singer/songwriter
Laura Michelle releases her music video "Chameleon," which is also her new single.
Co-written by
Laura Michelle, Jim McGorman, and Eugene Huang, "
Chameleon" is based on a chapter from Laura's life. It's a true story of initially experiencing a romantic interest and his outward appearance and behavior as desirable, but later realizing it was all a pretense as his façade comes crumbling down.
The video production required five days of filming and contains varied special effects by master Visual FX Artist, Joe Gunn, including seeing a double of
Laura Michelle. This required her to be locked in a 24 ft by 24 ft green screen room for 16 hours. While challenging, it was "an exhilarating experience to see it all come to life,"
Laura expressed.
OK! Magazine premiered the "
Chameleon" music video on Friday, October 14 as a "must see" and recently dubbed "
Chuck Norris" as "the hit single of the summer." The "
Chuck Norris" music video (with a special guest appearance by the legendary Chuck Norris) skyrocketed to almost 13 million views in its first three months, while trending #1 in Canada, France, Italy, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, and other countries.

Laura Michelle has caught the attention of the press with rave reviews. She has performed at Hollywood's hottest clubs and LA's landmark venues, and was recently featured in New York City's Times
Square for her viral music video. Her new album, Novel With No End, (Sony Red) weaves a unique sound and style through its 13 tracks. With open and honest lyrics it offers an introspective and adventurous journey through
Laura Michelle's life experiences of love, loss, and life lessons thus far.

With such whirlwind success,
Laura remains clear on her mission of connection and inspiration. She says of her core message, "Music was my best friend growing up; it got me through some really tough times. If my music can help somebody—if they laugh about it or get a better perspective about whatever is going on, or if they relate to a song in a certain way that helps them get through something; if it can help somebody in some way, that's what I want—that makes me happy."
Laura Michelle is an advocate for bullying prevention and healthy self-esteem, and recently began partnering with PACER's
National Bullying Prevention Center to spread that message. She helped promote the 10th Anniversary of PACER's
