Rising R&B artist La Hara - better known as influencer Bri Hall - has unleashed her latest offering 'Hereafter' along with the official video showcasing the stages of grief upon the loss of a loved one. In their exclusive of the video over the weekend, HollywoodLife praised Hall and her new release: 'A haunting slice of music that melds dream-pop with the beat of a broken heart, 'Hereafter' resonates long after the song ends. La Hara has deftly crafted a song that mirrors the anguish of grief: layered vocals that rush in like a flooding sadness; sparse moments that capture the isolating pain that comes with loss; and a hazy production reminiscent of the haze one feels when realizing someone you love is no longer there to text you back. The video features La Hara going through all the stages of grief until that final moment of acceptance offers a semblance of closure. It's a powerful video for a song with a powerful message.'
