Bursting onto the scene Laura Steel unleashes her vibrant single Feedback. Released on August 2nd, the track is an infectious electro-pop stomper written and composed by Laura herself, and an ideal antidote to the current crop of dreary and soulless manufactured fly-by-nights. An empowering summer anthem which unleashes Laura's perfectly-crafted electro-drenched sound in a colourful and pulsating package of pop perfection, Feedback is sure to set dancefloors on fire, and is the surefire choice to soundtrack a sun-filled summer party season. Already a huge success independently and voted ‘One to Watch’ by internet giants Tiscali, Laura is a fiercely dedicated performer and songwriter who has shared stages with the likes of Pixie Lott and Diana Vickers, and performed to over 250,000 people in the UK and US in 2009. A skilled songwriter and lyricist, Laura writes the majority of her own material, and is fully involved in the creative process from designing her own artwork through to crafting her own unique personal style. Born just outside Sheffield, Laura blends sharp-edged style with sassy Northern charm; up-front and honest, her no-nonsense approach to life comes across powerfully in her vivacious debut release. A chameleon fashionista, Laura crafts her image drawing from her massively creative background, having experimented with dozens of different looks and genres to distill her unique sound and identity. Talking about her creative process, Laura says: "I get frustrated with people regurgitating the same sound, and the same damn song. I like to keep things varied and fresh - I love to collaborate and clash styles! I’m all about creating moods, atmospheres and feelings, and like to go on a journey, create a story.” Having recently walked the catwalk for renowned celebrity stylist Jonny Blue Eyes (Beth Ditto, Klaxons, Noisettes) Laura's style is as attention-grabbing as her sound is electrifying. In 2009 Laura was endorsed by celebrity fashion powerhouse Lipsy, the first unsigned artist to receive this level of support from the brand, and has also received unrivalled support from pro-audio brand Sennheiser, who endorse a limited number of hugely successful acts, including Pink, Natalie Imbruglia and Franz Ferdinand. Feedback is released on August 2nd and will be available across all major download platforms. Read more on Last.fm.
