Rising pop star Lillian Hepler reveals her new single, “Famous,” out today via The Hard Working Record Company. Following her recent hit singles, “Call Me Yours,” “IDK Her,” and “House of Lies,” “Famous” cements Hepler’s status as one of pop music’s most promising newcomers.
“Famous” is a stunning showcase of Hepler’s expansive, soul-stirring vocals. Accompanied by captivating and carefully crafted production, the new single is an explosive yet tender anthem about rising from the ashes of heartbreak.
“This song was born out of frustration as to how a lot of relationships tend to go these days,” she says. “You meet someone, plan a future together, and then all hell breaks loose, they betray you, and you’re left watching this person move on without you. It feels like you’re always the bad guy and that they never have to face the consequences for the things they’ve said and done. But, the best revenge is actually just moving on and never having their name come out of your mouth again. People can only take credit if you give it to them and I don’t like giving people who have hurt me the satisfaction of that. I just pretend they never existed.”
Lillian Hepler sings the stories many of us are afraid of telling. Born and raised in Utah, the LA-based artist knew she wanted to be a performer at a young age. She began uploading covers at 13 and writing original songs by 15, accumulating millions of streams with singles like “Nightmare” and “Easy” and garnering over 2M followers on TikTok. Since the release of her debut single, Lillian has been deftly working on her artistry, ensuring the essence of who she is comes through in her music. Now, at 22, she’s finally achieved that feat, as she embarks on the next chapter of her story.
A dynamic and versatile pop artist, she weaves her own experiences into her songs, conveying the kaleidoscope of emotions she’s sifted through. Written in a stream-of-consciousness style, as if the tracks were lifted straight from her diary, her new material touches on everything from a friendship breakup to being blindsided by an ex. Lillian’s music showcases her ability to astutely share her own story while making it something that anyone with as big a heart as hers can relate to.
