Thanks to Donna for sharing news about this Isle of Wight singer/songwriter. Ed
Lauran Hibberd strikes a poetic balance between Pop and Folk by combining her ethereal vocal with a simple, delicate guitar style.
Her debut single ‘The House I Built When I Was Small’, recorded at Studio 5a, highlights the touching comparison between facing reality as a child and facing reality as an adult.
The angelic story behind the song can resonate so personally to most, making it a captivating and reminiscent listen.
Quirky tales of growing up
Drawing influence from artists such as Laura Marling and Lucy Rose, Lauran, at just 18 spins her achingly moving lyrics into quirky tales of growing up (and often wishing she hadn’t).

In every song, Lauran is the narrator of her own story, she has a compelling way of describing life as she sees it and this, matched with her beautifully gripping vocal is enough to silence any room.
Radio airplay
‘The House I Built When I Was Small’ has already been picked up for airplay by Tom Robinson on BBC Radio 6 Music, ‘Amazing Radio’ and ‘Best of British Unsigned’ which broadcasts on 80 commercial radio stations around the world, covering 15 countries.
The single will also feature on the in-store playlists of both Harrods and Costa from January.
