Bat For Lashes - Laura

Natasha Khan, better known as English singer Bat For Lashes, returns onto the scene with a brand new visual offering from her upcoming new LP The Haunted Man. While the video also supports her melodic new single “Laura,” the official album artwork, which was shot by photographer Ryan McGinley, should cause also quite some discussion due to its NSFW steez.
