I do hope I have your attention! This is because I am about to review the new single from Laura Cox. If you are reading this you may already be a fan, and the single was released on September 19, so it is on all platforms now.
Before my review, I will share the press release:
“From viral YouTube guitarist to international festival headliner, Laura Cox has become one of Europe’s most compelling modern rock voices. With over 513,000 YouTube subscribers and 105 million plays across her videos, she has taken bedroom chops to main stages like Hellfest, Rockpalast, and Pol’and’Rock. Her upcoming album “Trouble Coming” continues that journey. It’s loud, honest, and built for now.
Says Laura, “Do I Have Your Attention? is a track with a clear message and raw sound. It grabs the listener’s attention in a direct way, evoking the ambivalence of letting go, whether it’s liberating or self-destructive.”
Equal parts attitude and adrenaline, “Do I Have Your Attention?” is a reckless dare: speed the amp, plant the foot on the pedal, and watch the world react. Lyrically it plays with the thrill of excess and the edge between fun and destruction – calling out phoniness, testing limits, and refusing to play small. Musically, it’s a fierce one-shot of guitar mayhem: chugging riffs, saturated leads and a chorus that invites singalongs and sing-offs in equal measure.
The new single follows the earlier releases “No Need To Try Harder” and “Trouble Coming,” and acts as a loud, electric snapshot of the energy that runs through the forthcoming album Trouble Coming (out October 31, 2025). Fans will find here everything that made Laura famous – raw guitar chops, classic rock heart, dialed up with a modern punch that keeps the sound urgent and immediate.”

My review:
“Do I Have Your Attention?” -“Looking for fun and attention – do I have your attention?” This is a good time rocker of a track, plenty of sing along chorus style that has a built in reach out for an audience. The guitar rocks away with the notes flowing out – it’s melodic metal and would be a perfect fit for commercial rock radio.
“Trouble Coming” is the title track for the new album. The wind blows through this one, and it intersperses spoken dialogue with a deep beat and a harmony background that uplifts the slower heavy feel of the track. The track is quite sparse and sings of the oncoming storm clouds and the darkness of black water. Let’s conjure a storm…
“No Need to Try Harder” rocks with a bit of built in boogie, the track opens up with some harmonised vocals, tracked for smoothness and the guitar delivers a decent southern riff. I liked the track, it provides light to the previous tracks shade.
In summary, Laura Cox make modern rock pulse, crash, and come alive. Each track here is a different shade of her firepower, proof that her new album “Trouble Coming” is set to make waves. If these singles are anything to go by, October 31st can’t come soon enough. Laura Cox doesn’t ask for your attention—she takes it with six strings and a storm.
