Laura Ulmer releases her new single, “Trustworthy,” out now, an edgy pop track about knowing your worth and refusing to settle for less. As a visually impaired artist, Ulmer has always had to judge people by more than appearance, reading character through instinct, intention, and action rather than what is visible on the surface. “Trustworthy” turns that same lens toward matters of the heart, insisting that trust has to be earned rather than assumed at first glance.
The song began with a single word stuck in Ulmer’s head after a friend let her down at a moment she needed them most. The friendship survived, but the word would not leave her alone, so she brought it into a writing session with producer Conor Wharton at Resonate Music School & Studio, the room where she has made most of her discography. Rather than writing another sad song about a friendship on the rocks, Ulmer and Wharton reframed the idea into something edgier and more fun: a track about someone pursuing her romantically, and her refusal to let them in until they prove themselves. The whole song was written and produced in just two sessions.
Musically, “Trustworthy” marks a shift from the sound of her last album. Built around a synth bell melody, aggressive bass and trap-style drums, it is moodier, more upbeat and more sultry than anything on Pink Wings. A favourite touch lands right as the chorus hits, when the sound of a revving car engine blends into the bass and gives the drop a real physical push.
The record came together quickly. Vocals were tracked a few weeks after the song was written, all of it done in a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon. Wharton mixed and edited the track the next day, and mastering revisions were finished the day after that, taking the song from a single word to a finished master in a matter of weeks.
The timing carries its own symmetry. “Trustworthy” arrives almost exactly one year after Pink Wings first introduced its message of strength and optimism, and the new single continues the same story from a different angle: learning who deserves a place in her life, and not being afraid to ask for proof.
Based in Edmonton and active since 2018, Ulmer has built a growing discography of five albums, including Night Vision, along with a run of singles, among them “We All Win.” She has performed at major local events including Glow Edmonton, Taste of Edmonton and Strathearn Art Walk, and has lent her voice to Edmonton’s Trinity Players, performing in the community musical theatre company’s productions. Pink Wings arrived on 10 October 2025, following a release show at 9910 in Edmonton the night before, carrying forward her signature blend of empowering lyrics and modern pop production.
Ulmer is passionate about breaking down barriers and redefining what is possible in the music industry, a career built in a field that is not always easy to access. Her motto, “You don’t have to have sight to have vision,” reflects the resilience, creativity, and purpose behind her work.
