Orange Is The New Black Star Taryn Manning Proves She Can Sing In New Video

I'll admit it. I'm way late to the party on this one. Although I am a massive fan of Orange is the New Black, I never in a million years thought any of those ladies were singers. Imagine my surprise when I saw that Taryn Manning, the local psychopath on OitNB, not only released a new single, but has been releasing songs for years. Egg on my face. But luckily not Manning's because this song is amazing.






I am in love with both this song and it's accompanying video. Taryn is such a beautiful person, which makes me kind of sad given her characters treatment on OitNB. She really is reaching for hear dreams on every front. She's got the acting gig solidified, so now, in the show's downtime, she's making her music dreams come to fruition. With her new legion of fans thanks to Netflix, I really do think this single is going to blow up for her.

The video's plot line is a bit confusing. A man hides some kind of orb in the desert, and Taryn seems to have the key, another orb, to finding it. Much of the video is Manning and her companions wandering around the desert landscape in some amazingly beautiful shots. I absolutely love the cinematography of this piece, only adding to her siren-like voice and amazing EDM production by British-Canadian producer Bynon.

In perhaps the most humble and adorable ever interview with E! News (those words don't regularly go together), Taryn talked about how she has long been a fan of EDM, even before that term was coined. She went on to talk about how she hopes that this song helps her move forward with her career, perhaps even garnering the attention of big time producers like Pharrell and Calvin Harris.

Honey, I wish you the best of luck. With the right promoting, this dance gem can really elevate your career. You've discovered a whole new fan in me!
