The keen reader might remember Laura Musgrave from a feature we published earlier this year, celebrating ‘Rent Free’ as “an absolute, fierce banger”. It turns out, that’s a bit of a theme in the UK-based songstress’ catalogue. Her latest effort ‘Play Again’ confirms it all, sharing a slice of hard-hitting pop-rock energy and honest, empowering lyricism. In fact, there’s a hidden layer of melancholia in it, something that resolves in the chorus, an anthemic call for resilience and personal reckoning.
Written by fellow writer Emma Gale and produced by Becky Willard, ‘Play Again’ finds its electrifying and bold identity in Musgrave’s powerful vocals, completely kidnapping the listeners’ attention. Sharing a tale that many will be familiar with, Laura urges us to stay true to our strengths, supporting ourselves even in the darkest of times.
The future looks bright for Musgrave – we look forward to hearing more. Speaking about the message behind ‘Play again’, she explains: “It’s that turning point when you realize your fight is coming back. You’re determined to face whatever challenges life has in store, even if you’re still figuring out how to pick yourself back up. It’s having that trust in yourself that you’ll find a way to work it out.”
