With poetic lyricism and gentle sonics reflecting the artist’s heartache, this particularly poignant track first established Laura Elliott’s undying passion for songwriting.

American indie pop singer-songwriter Laura Elliott started releasing music in 2020, and has since released seven uniquely powerful singles. Amassing over 1.2 million streams on Spotify alone, her entrancing single Grass Stains is by far her most popular single yet.

The upcoming artist’s latest track Better Off Alone is her first release of 2022, and once again showcases Laura’s ethereal vocals and stunning songwriting abilities. In the song’s emotive chorus, Laura delicately poses the question “are you better off alone?”, as the track’s verses play out like a profound stream of consciousness.

Laura speaks on the track:

I wrote ‘Better Off Alone’ after my first heartbreak coming out of high school. It was a way for me to process and put words to my feelings, which kickstarted my love for songwriting. It’s basically me reflecting on the end of the relationship and cutting contact with that person, navigating life without them and missing them but knowing that chapter is closed. I think it’s easy to remember the good memories and idealize a person, but you have to remind yourself of the reality of the situation and why it’s healthier for you to be on your own. This one is extremely special to me since it was the first time I discovered how much I love writing music, it was one of the first songs I wrote.

As Laura consistently reveals her uniquely authentic perspective on life and love, it becomes evidently clear that she is one to watch in the indie pop scene.
