House on Fire – Out Now!

My brand new single, ‘House on Fire,’ is now available on all major music platforms! Finally!


House On Fire Art HR

laurenalexhooper: Please welcome to the world, ‘House on Fire,’ a song I wrote at the height of the pandemic. I was so scared that I could barely function but putting words to those fears is what ultimately helped me move forward.

Three years later though, the meaning of the song has evolved and when I listen to it now, I think of different fears: fears of our society spinning out of control, of feeling powerless against the rich and influential, of feeling helpless.

For me, my songs have always been a space where my voice can be heard too and I hope you feel yours is as well when you listen to them.

You can find the song through the link in my bio!

Thank you always to @richardmarcmusic / @rsandersonphoto for everything you do (including the production and the cover art), @josh_fielden_sproggletstudios and Luke for the gorgeous mixing and mastering, and @icmplondon for their help in making this all happen via The Accelerator Fund.

New music has been a long time coming. I’ve wanted to release new songs pretty much since I finished releasing the Honest EP but between the pandemic, completing my Masters, and the time it takes to develop, write, record, and produce a project, it was always going to take a while. And then there was the disaster that was my medication and mental health situation over the last eighteen months, which obviously impacted my ability to create. 

Now that my brain feels a little more like my own (and hopefully will continue to do so more and more), I have multiple projects in mind. The problem is going to be choosing which one to focus on first, which will be both fun and challenging. For now, at least, that’s something for all of us to look forward to.

I hope you enjoy the song and please let me know what you think and what it makes you feel, either on here or on social media.

‘Back To Life’ Music Video – Out Now!

And the music video for ‘Back To Life’ is out and available for you guys to watch on YouTube! When I originally envisioned a video for ‘Back To Life,’ life was very different. This was pre-pandemic, pre-lockdown. The hope was that lockdown would be over and it would be safe to continue with the original plan before releasing the song but clearly that didn’t happen so I had to come up with a new plan. Considering how set I was on the original plan, that was a struggle but I’m really proud of what Richard and I managed to create under such limitations. Plus we had a blast making it. I hope you enjoy!

Due to the lockdown, it was obviously a challenging video to make, something I definitely want to talk more about. I intend to make another Behind The Video post soon because I think that an experience like this is worth recording, one that I’ve certainly never gone through and one that the industry is having to go to drastic measures to manage. Not only is it interesting to see how everyone is navigating these challenges, it will also be fascinating to look back in a few years time and see how we’ve adapted and what’s changed.

laurenalexhooper: AND ‘CLARITY’ IS OUT! ⁣

I wrote this song a couple of years ago with my friend, Imogen Davies, inspired by the idea of desperately chasing a person or bad habit, a habit that you know is harmful, to find some sort of relief from all of the difficult emotions.⁣

Please, please buy/stream it. It would mean everything to me and all the people who have worked so hard on it. 💜

I’d hoped today would be exciting and fun but it’s turned into a really difficult day instead. I just want to cry and cry and cry. So I’m gonna do all the work for this and then have a gentle, calm day to recover.

I hope you like the song, that it makes you feel something. Please share it around. It would mean the world to me.
