Garageband Superstar, the debut album by Isle of Wight singer songwriter, Lauran Hibberd, is out now.
Released today, it follows hot on the heels of That Was A Joke, which came out in July.
Lauran grew up in Cowes and went to Carisbrooke High School.
To the Isle of Wight County Press, Lauran called her album 'dad rock for your daughters' - read the interview below...
"That Was A Joke lives in a world of denial, and sometimes it’s better like that.
"I feel like it could be a soundtrack on an early noughties kids' show.
"It felt like a good track to leak (ahead of the album release), because I can always lean on the title to save my butt if no one likes it," Lauran told the County Press's Zach Saunders.
Fresh from nationwide dates supporting chart-toppers The Snuts and Stand Atlantic, as well as a sold-out 2021 UK headline tour, Lauran has also recorded with The Regrettes' Lydia Night.
Lauran said: "Garageband Superstar is dad rock for your daughters.
"If you don't get the feeling of relief similar to the one of undoing your jeans button after a big meal, I'd feel crushed.
"It's a nod to all of my favourite 90s sub-genres, and the soundtrack to your next favourite trash TV show that no one else gets but you."
The album features tracks about breaking your leg, falling off rollercoasters, taking off your pants, competing with Red Dead Redemption, boys in supermarkets, writing essays on Facebook walls, and the enigma of being a superstar.
Lauran continued: "Hope you like it. Don't tell me if you don't. I'm insecure!"
On Instagram, she added: "Holy s**t. My debut album ‘Garageband Superstar’ is out on the 19th August, it’s my whole entire universe. 🥵 It’s happening."
Garageband Superstar features appearances by Brendan B. Brown, from Teenage Dirtbag hitmakers Wheatus, and Limp Bizkit's DJ Lethal.
