Laura continue to push the boundaries across genres, appealing to the masses with her unique country/ blues sound that really is making her stand out amongst the crowd.
Laura talks about the impromptu co-write with producer Josiah J Manning after a recording session at his Momentum Studios in Plymouth
"We had just finished recording vocals for my last single "Solo" back in October and we had no intention of writing a new song that day, we were just taking a break and jamming, Josiah played some really cool chords on his grand piano and I started singing this chorus melody that just came from nowhere, then on my 4 hour drive back to London I came up with the lyric idea, and wanted to put a positive spin on breaking up with someone, that night the song was written and we recorded it back at Momentum a few months later"
Good at Getting Over You accompanied by a music video filmed, directed and edited by Kris Barras is out everywhere on June 25th.
