Australian songwriter Laura Imbruglia has been releasing records since the early noughties. A restless musician with broad music taste, she’s released four albums, played almost every corner of Australia and several pockets of Europe. She’s also unafraid to dabble in other art forms (see her arts web series “Amateur Hour”).
Following from 2013’s What A Treat and breaking a five-year radio silence, Scared of You traverses realms of pub rock, brooding indie pop, classic country, shoegaze, grunge and even yacht rock. With such a broad stylistic scope, exemplified through the album’s stand alone singles ‘Tricks’, ‘Diptych’, ‘The Creeps’, ‘Carry You Around’, and now ‘Give Boys Pink Toys’, Imbruglia has earned her stripes as one of Melbourne’s most exciting artists of today.
Beneath the gritty, shiny surface, Scared of You sees Laura at her most openly vulnerable yet. Produced by long-time collaborator Nick Huggins, the album gives insight into the joys, frustrations, trials, and tribulations of human interaction.
Tracks like ‘Give Boys Pink Toys’ and ‘You’re Shit’ push the album into politically charged heavy hitting territory, whilst subdued moments such as ‘Diptych’, ‘CBT’ and ‘Casual’ remain deeply grounded in self-reflection, and relationship mending. It’s 30 minutes of danceable, punchable, huggable catharsis that showcases the refined songwriting and chameleon like musicianship of an artist at the peak of a massive career.
“The album focuses on the constant shift between insecurity, comfort, confusion and restlessness that occurs in all corners of life, and investigates and unpacks human fallibility. It wasn’t all that fun to write these songs but it sure is fun to play them!” – Laura Imbruglia
Laura’s fourth album “Scared Of You” (produced by Nick Huggins) was released 29 March 2019.

PHYSICAL STUFF
My albums are available sometimes on cd, sometimes on vinyl (always on digital).
I’m sorry but I am old and vinyl was still uncool when I started releasing music. So that’s why some of them are on cd.
I would love you to buy them so they don’t get mulched in a crusher.
I also have t-shirts (including Amateur Hour tees) and totes!
Buy everything here.
