Keke Palmer’s new EP, Lauren, gets an accompanying visual. The 16-minute clip features a music video for all five songs on the project. Palmer uses behind-the-scenes footage of her in the studio to help transition into the next video.
In an interview with Billboard, Palmer explained why she titled her EP after her birth name. “I feel like it helps keep in mind what this whole EP is about, which is giving an entrance into who I am truly, like where I come from, how my career as Keke Palmer began,” she said.
She continued, “Keke, of course, is a family nickname. Everything attached to it — being my entertainment name, I feel like are often so separate from the totality of who I am because so much of my early career was based off of acting and my characters. Of course, I’m not my characters and so for my EP, I felt like because this is them getting to see it through the true me, where I’m coming from and how I’m feeling, I feel like it was perfect to title it my birth name Lauren.”
