“Little Miss Dynamite” also shared details for new music. “I had planned on releasing a new single in April,” she said. “That was the whole plan, that was the whole goal and I got it done, but I’m really, really feeling adamant about having the video released with it at the same time…they need to be together because it’s such a great song and for it to make sense and for the fans to really appreciate what it’s about and where it came from, I really feel I got to wait and do the video.”
Lares plans to head back to the studio to finish up a full album. She also made her past albums available for sale at her official online store.
