LAURA COX Ushers In A New Era With Trouble Coming

Interview by Angela Croudace
French guitarist and singer Laura Cox is entering a bold new
chapter with her latest album Trouble Coming, what she describes as
her most personal and creatively liberating yet. In our
conversation, Cox explains that for the first time she wrote and
composed entirely on her own, stepping away from the familiar team
dynamic of her earlier releases. Partnering with French
electro-rock duo No Money Kids, she embraced a more modern edge
while preserving the blues-rock roots that first put her on the
map.
The album’s creation was unusually relaxed, unfolding over several
months between home recordings and studio sessions, a process Cox
says felt “smooth,” “natural,” and free from the pressure of rigid
studio deadlines. This freedom seems to have reshaped everything,
even her writing approach, with vocal melodies and guitar parts now
arriving simultaneously rather than being built around riffs.
From YouTube beginnings to major festival stages, Cox remains
grounded, grateful for a fan base that continues to evolve,
especially as she sees more women and young people discovering her
music. With new songs built specifically for the stage and an
ambitious touring schedule ahead, Cox is excited for what comes
next and hopes Australia might finally be on the horizon!
