Laura Stevenson

***Laura Stevenson*** - Music is a resource we can tap into to heal ourselves,” Laura Stevenson says. She’s talking about her studies in a music therapy graduate program, but her explanation parallels the overarching message of her sixth full-length album Late Great — a record that finds Stevenson excavating the messy emotions of heartbreak for the very first time. “When I started this new career path a few years ago, I kind of quieted my own healing relationship to music, just because I honestly didn’t have time, but this record was me getting back to it. This was me processing, and reconnecting with that part of myself and it carried me through.” In the four years since her self-titled album was released, Laura’s entire life has been upended by pandemic-era motherhood, a painful split, and navigating new loves. Her new album is about letting go, taking charge, and learning to rebuild from the deepest layers of your being: “It’s a document of loss for sure, but it also kind of draws the map of this exciting precipice that I’m standing on. I am making my own life now. With the record, with everything, this is the first time I get to call all the shots.
