Laura Marano is already one of our favorite music stars, and we'd like to give Just Jared readers an exclusive chance to get to know her even better!
The 25-year-old superstar, already well known for roles on hit shows like Disney's Austin & Ally as well as a thriving solo music career, is about to make waves once again with the deluxe version of her YOU EP, out on Friday (June 25).
Laura Marano has released the music video for her new song "Something To Believe In" and you can watch it right here!
The 25-year-old singer and actress, best known for her role in the Disney Channel series Austin & Ally, incorporated American Sign Language into the video.
“I wrote this song a few years ago, but it was this year that made me want to release it. I resonated with this song in a different, but very real way during the past few months, where it constantly felt like every day brought a new level of darkness and despair,” Laura told HollywoodLife.com.
Laura said that she was inspired to incorporate ASL after talking to her sister Vanessa Marano, who starred in the series Switched at Birth.
“Vanessa knew the language from her time on Switched at Birth, and during one of the shows in my virtual You Tour, I actually got Vanessa and her costars Katie Leclerc and Ryan Lane to sign the chorus of ‘Something to Believe In,'” she said. “It was so incredibly beautiful that I knew I really wanted ASL to be a part of the official music video."
While talking about the video, Laura said, "I wanted to go full out with the dark and light metaphor, so Izak Rappaport (the music video director) constructed this beautiful aesthetic story playing with light throughout the video.”
Deadline reports that the movie centers on the romance between Isabella (Marano) and Prince Thomas (Massoud).
"Isabella runs her own salon and isn’t afraid to speak her mind, while Prince Thomas runs his own country and is about to marry for duty rather than love," the summary reads. "When Izzy and her fellow stylists get the opportunity of a lifetime to do the hair for the royal wedding, she and Prince Thomas learn that taking control of their own destiny requires following their hearts."
Laura is set to produce the movie as well, alongside mom Ellen and sister Vanessa for their Calabrian Rhode Productions company, alongside Chloe Smith.
Rick Jacobson will direct the screenplay by Holly Hester.
The Royal Treatment marks Laura's return to Netflix, after her starring role in The Perfect Date with Noah Centineo.
Mena most recently appeared in the Hulu series Reprisal and is set to reprise his role as this Disney prince!

"People will only begin to fall in love with recycled, up-cycled, sustainable locally made products when they have the chance to hold them, experience them and believe in them. You are the the real deal, and last night is a shining example of the energy and magnificence you so clearly curate. The way you believe in building not just your brand, but the brands and dreams of other women is the definition of leading by example.
