Natasha Khan’s highly-anticipated follow-up to 2009’s Two Suns has its first song and an eye-catching cover.

Khan returns with her well-established brand of Goth pop theatrics on ‘Laura,’ the first song off The Haunted Man. As usual, the songstress is paradoxically gloomy and uplifting on ‘Laura,’ which will be available as a digital download for those who pre-order the album tonight.

The album is due out October 15, with Khan baring skin on the cover like she bares her emotions on her songs. She will tour Europe this fall, and those dates are below.
