The Isle of Wight queen returns, that’s right, Lauran Hibberd is back at it again with her explosive new single ‘Boy Bye’.
Whilst exuding her trademark satirical slacker pop, Lauran takes a slightly different approach with noughties sounding guitar rock.
It’s arguably her boldest release yet as she teams up with esteemed producer Suzy Shinn (Weezer, Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, Dua Lipa) in lockdown for a transatlantic recording partnership, ‘Boy Bye’ marks the first product of these sessions, exuding her trademark satirical and anthemic tendencies, whilst providing a clear indication of what to expect from her next batch of material.
Detailing her rousing latest effort, Hibberd explained: “‘Boy Bye’ IS co-dependency, it has a scarily obsessive nature about it and is based on the need to ‘feed’ someone to keep them around.
“I sort of battle with myself throughout the whole track, the same way you would in your brain when stuff like this happens and you try and justify it to yourself.
“There’s an odd strength in it though, and I think it’s noticing it and being able to say it out loud that gives it that balls to the wall sort of ‘get lost’ momentum. Also BYE BOYSSSS!!!!”
Following recent singles ‘Old Nudes’ and ‘Bang Bang Bang’, Lauran Hibberd’s rise to fame is more exciting than ever before. With this new material just waiting to be released, we can’t wait to hear what’s next.
