Raging Against The Machine: LACES Drops “Salt” On Capitalism

In “Salt,” Jessica Vaughn—better known as LACES—pours gasoline on the fire of discontent burning through the modern workforce, then gleefully tosses in a match. The acclaimed songwriter and Billboard-recognized queer music executive wastes no time cutting through the noise with razor-sharp verses, unapologetically exposing the profit-hungry culture of narcissists and imposters who thrive on others’ labor.

This isn’t just a protest song; it’s a full-throated rebellion against the hollow promises of an economic system rigged for those with wealth and privilege. Vaughn’s seasoned perspective as both artist and executive is palpable—her frustration becomes our rallying cry as she eviscerates the notion that hard work alone guarantees a seat at the table.

“Salt” bristles with righteous energy, while a muscular production propels its defiance forward.

By the time the final chorus hits, you’re ready to blast this track from rooftops or, as LACES boldly suggests, send it straight to your boss. It’s a tongue-in-cheek dare that underscores the single’s true power: galvanizing listeners to confront stifling norms and reclaim their voices.

In an industry often more interested in veneer than vision, LACES is a force of reckoning, and “Salt” is her fearless, anthemic battle cry.
