Meet rising New Jersey singer Donna Missal. After dropping her debut single “Keep Lying” at the tail end of 2015, the singer’s drop kick of a vocal took the blogosphere by storm, drawing comparisons to the smoky softness of Lana Del Rey, the soulful power of Alabama Shakes’ Brittany Howard, and the rocker howl of the late Janis Joplin. And after her fiery cover of Drake’s “Hotline Bling” kept up the buzz, Missal today fires off the next punch with a live studio session of her debut single, premiering exclusively via Billboard. The clip, filmed at Creekside Sound studio, a former upholstery factory in Gowanus, Brooklyn, showcases the singer’s haunting

She did make something good of her own. The chorus on her debut single Keep Lying has some legit POWERHOUSE vocals going on and the production’s pretty massive, it’s like a slightly more rocky Here by Alessia Cara or an actually original You Don’t Own Me by Grace. What a big song. She’s verified on Facebook which means Label Things Are Probably
