Laura Evans has a new single out this week – and for this release she has shifted her style more towards country
Solo has
a thumping drum, dark guitar riffs and a foot stomping rhythm to the
vocals. This welsh songstress has turned
more rocky, more outlaw country since her last blues inspired single, and it
really works! This is an “almost there”
Welsh lilt in her voice, but overwhelmingly it is the voice of a powerful,
strong woman.
This strong woman is singing
about being under the thumb of a man she loves but who she has come to realise
is too controlling of her, and she needs to, intends to go solo. She’s not planning to dump the guy, but she
is redefining the terms of their relationship
“When I listen to my heart
it says I’ve got to be free”
Written with Stace James the
song was initially pitched to other artists, but Laura decided to take it back
and record it herself – much like the message of the lyrics!
The song, the words and the
performance all portray that independent edge, albeit with a gentle verse
showing that she still has that love, reassuring him that they need some time,
and the switch to acoustic guitar underlines the message, as she lets him know
they need time apart
The final word on this (of course) goes to Laura herself
"I think the main message of this song is empowerment and independence! I've always felt more powerful flyin’ Solo"
Solo, the new single from Laura Evans is available to stream and download from all major platforms
