Album Review: Garageband Superstar by Lauran Hibberd
Great, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 7.5/10
With noughties pop rock nostalgia in full swing, there are plenty of rising new acts coming out of the woodwork aiming to be the next Avril Lavigne. On the surface, Isle of Wight singer/songwriter Lauran Hibberd could fit nicely into that crowd, especially given her talent for massive guitar-laden hooks and relentlessly catchy melodies. However, when you dig further into her long-awaited record debut, Garageband Superstar, a picture emerges of a far more interesting artist.
Opinion: Fairly Good
The once infamously indie Lauran Hibberd has finally brought us her debut full-length, and it comes with a sonic attitude that even she could not have foreseen; following a signing to Virgin Music , she is maximising every aspect of her persona. Amped-up guitars, newfound confidence and an invigorated energy and enthusiasm define the self-referential 'Garageband Superstar'. The introspective yet brash title track is just one example of this.
