“I was so excited to write with Tim” Laura says, “He had written one my favourite songs by Shelly Fairchild called ‘Mississippi Turnpike’ so when we all got in a room together, we started talking about my hometown and where I grew up. We laughed as I explained I’m from a very very small town the South Wales valleys called ‘Aberdare’ talked about what it was like growing up there and then a few hours later the song was written! It was very important that the song had a country soulful feel about it and lyrics people could relate to, I’m so excited to incorporate my welsh roots into a country song. I hope people will connect with it.”
