Lauran Hibberd – Sugardaddy
“Building a name for herself with her colourful brand on indie pop…she continues on her upward trajectory in explosively exciting fashion” – The Line Of Best Fit
“Each song from the rising talent feels immaculately well packaged” – Clash
“The Isle Of Wight native is creating her own path here, gliding towards different directions than her peers” – The 405
Kicking off 2019 with pulsating new anthem Sugardaddy, Isle Of Wight newcomer Lauran Hibberd sparkles in her latest release, moving further towards the forefront of the UK’s emerging indie landscape with aplomb.
Generating widespread acclaim throughout the online community (The Line Of Best Fit, The 405, Clash) in 2018 with her first few releases, in addition to extensive support at BBC Radio 1 (BBC Introducing Track of the Week), the rising talent’s expertly crafted blend of indie pop has already earned plenty of fanfare with her reputation certain to grow further over the next twelve months.
Recently named as one of Huw Stephens’ Top Tips for 2019 and confirmed to support US indie rockers Hippo Campus on a full UK/European tour this spring, plans are certainly shaping up nicely for the young musician whose off-kilter style has already earned comparisons to Courtney Barnett and Weezer, as well as lyricism reminiscent of acts such as Phoebe Bridgers and Soccer Mommy.
Detailing her upcoming release, Hibberd stated: “There’s a million love songs, but my dream is to live in a world where there’s a million songs about stuff like wanting a sugar daddy. I guess it’s a joke, it’s like wrapping bubblegum around depression. The idea stemmed from life being life, I have sort of a twisted humour so at some point my brain came to this as a comical solution. I wrote this track with Boe Weaver, my trusted day one producers. Don’t be alarmed”.
Lauran Hibberd’s Sugardaddy is released 1st February and will be available via all digital platforms.
