Shaking Up the Status Quo: LACES Serves Pride, Sass, and a Dash of “Salt” in Her New Pop Protest Anthem

Looking for a jaunty pop gem that calls out soul-sucking systems while still leaving you grinning? Then LACES’ new single “Salt” is the perfect flavor for your playlist. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, Billboard-recognized artist and music exec Jessica Vaughn doesn’t merely dip her toes into social commentary—she waltzes right in, making waves with equal parts sass and self-awareness.

“Salt” bubbles over with playful spirit, even as its message takes aim at modern-day capitalism’s not-so-subtle favoritism. LACES delivers her punchy lyrics with a wink and a knowing grin, reminding us that there’s power in cheekiness—and in reclaiming your story. The track’s irresistible hook (plus a dare to “send it to your boss”) turns righteous frustration into something fun, flirty, and gloriously defiant.

Whether you’re rallying for change or just need a fresh tune to boost your mood, this snappy anthem is the perfect pick. “Salt” radiates that sweet-yet-salty spark only a fearless, proudly queer creative can bring. So go on and add a dash of “Salt” to your day—you’ll be dancing all the way up that metaphorical mountain of success… even if the game is rigged. After all, sometimes the best way to fight the machine is with a killer chorus and a confident, carefree grin.
