To coincide with the new single, Laura has released a cool, clever, rocking music video for the title track of her album State of Mind which gives us a glimpse of her life in the fast lane, on a projector film. “The song was inspired by her time spent living in Los Angeles,” explains Laura. “I was high on love, lost in a state of mind.” Laura developed the idea of creating a film on a projector, as the backdrop for the music video for the State of Mind single music video with her partner and videographer Rich Turner. Watch the video on YouTube. Talking about the inspiration behind the track, Laura says, “I think everyone has experienced exciting times in their life and it only takes something simple, like a song, a picture or a smell to spark those memories and take you right back there.” This powerhouse title track of the album is blues, roots with a touch of rock and roll. The music video tells fans a little more about the girl behind the song. The State of Mind single and album are available from https://linktr.ee/Laura_evans. Recorded and produced by long-time collaborator Josiah J Manning, at Momentum Studios (Kris Barras Band) who produced Laura’s whole album, this creative dream team continue to push the boundaries across genres, appealing to the masses with a unique blues/rock sound that really is making Laura stand out amongst the crowd. Born and raised in the valleys of South Wales, you may be wondering how this sweet demeanour, 5ft 3, pretty, blonde valleys girl is becoming one of the UK’s most exciting singer songwriters to hit our airwaves since Stevie Nicks. Laura Evans is proving she is so much more than meets the eye with her powerhouse sweet and smoky vocals, perfectly crafted anthemic hit songs that straddle the worlds of rock, blues, and Americana. In 2020, Laura first burst on to the music scene with the first single from her debut E.P. Running Back To You which impressively charted straight at number one on the UK blues chart and peaked at 43 on the US blues chart as well as follow up singles Drag Me Back In and Solo were added to several Spotify and Apple Music playlists including Nu-Blue and Blues Drive curated by Heidi Shenk, alongside American artists including Larkin Poe and Dave Stewart Very Nearly Nashville and Apple Music’s New In Country playlist alongside Taylor Swift and Eric Church. The E.P. racked up thousands of streams in the first week of release, resulting in the last single Take Me Back Home distributed worldwide by U-NXT c/o Universal Music. It seemed Laura was an overnight success. On the contrary, this valleys girl has been honing her craft for quite some time. She has finally found and created a sound that is truly breaking through and finding the recognition it deserves. Laura grew up listening to an eclectic mix of music from artists including Bonnie Raitt, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Dolly Parton and more. Even though these influences really shine through on the album there is no doubt Laura with the help of producer Josiah J Manning, has found her own unique sound. “Laura Evans is brilliant, great songs and what a voice!” – Jason Mohamed, BBC Radio Wales & BBC Radio 2 “This young lady has an amazing voice.” – Blues in Britain Magazine “Love this welsh songstress.” – Wyatt Wendels, Planet Rock # # # Laura Evans Special Guest on Cardinal Black’s September UK Tour 2022
