Lauralie’s love for music started at an early age, fueled by tabletop performances in princess dresses and writing her own bedtime songs. She was singing by the time she learned to speak, inspired by the country, alternative, and classic rock that her parents frequently played. Lauralie became a local at many Kansas City music venues through high school before attending Berklee College of Music to pursue songwriting. While she’s always leaned in a country direction, her new single, “Yellow Sun,” dips eagerly into the classic rock that she was raised on. The song, which features Lauralie’s staple stacked vocals and passionate guitar solos, explores themes of emotional neglect in relationships and contains quite a bit of angst in comparison to her last release.


“I’ll Be With You,” Lauralie’s last personal release, is a country pop anthem that centers around resilience during long-distance love. While this song’s major-chord, upbeat country-pop feel fits its encouraging messages, “Yellow Sun’s” turmoiled lyricism calls for more of a rock approach. Lauralie’s dip into rock reflects a more authentic version of her music, one that is highly inspired by her favorite influences, such as Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, Chris Stapleton, and Miley Cyrus. 


“Yellow Sun” highlights the angst that comes with unfulfilling relationships. Like many young women (and men) experience, this song describes the inability to voice one’s needs in a relationship and the feeling that the only acceptable emotion is contentment. Lauralie hopes that this song can provide strength, courage, and a lost “fire” to her listeners, inspiring them to be more honest in their relationships and with themselves. Like many of her other songs, “Yellow Sun” prompts self-reflection and personal growth.


With Lauralie’s transition away from pop country and into Americana rock, she presents a version of herself that is more authentic, and her lyrical and musical authenticity has attracted listeners with the same yearning for genuineness. Lauralie hopes that the power of music and the undying fire of classic rock will inspire her fans to embrace their own voices and be evermore free in themselves. Fans of “Yellow Sun” can show their support on any of Lauralie's social media pages and by listening on any streaming service.
