Charlotte Lawrence - 'Joke’s On You'

Preparing to take 2020 in her stride, pop sensation Charlotte Lawrence releases her new single ‘Joke’s On You’ that will feature on the soundtrack for Margot Robbie’s upcoming Harley Quinn movie Birds Of Prey.

With sassy guitars and hypnotically dreamy beats, ‘Joke’s On You’ taps right into the Harley Quinn spirit. It sounds like a beautiful nightmare and bittersweet revenge. There is something inherently dark and haunting about the way Charlotte sings “I’ve lied for you and I liked it too but my knees are bruised from kneeling to you […] now I’m laughing through my tears, I’m crying through my fear but baby, if I had to choose the joke’s on you”. You can feel the anger, the madness, bubbling underneath the surface and it might just drive you over the edge.   

For those, that aren’t yet aware of Charlotte Lawrence, ‘Joke’s On You’ is the ideal introduction to her powerful vocals as well as her lyrical genius. There is a skill to wrapping a story, an emotion, into a song and this one perfectly captures the beauty and strength of a woman taking back her narrative.
