Laura Jean preps new LP ‘Amateurs,’ shares “Teenager Again” ft Aldous Harding & Marlon Williams

Australian singer-songwriter Laura Jean is back with Amateurs, her first album in four years, which will be out November 4 via Chapter Music. "These songs arise from my acceptance that I will always be an ‘amateur’," Laura says. "At the same time, I was fueled by a desire to create something inordinately luxurious and beautiful."

The first single is the gorgeous "Teenager Again" that features Aldous Harding and Marlon Williams who appear on a few other tracks on the album. “I have been chipping away at this song for a long time. I made up the backing vocal parts walking around a park with my dog, and I think that was when I knew the song was ready. It’s wonderful to hear those parts now sung by [Aldous] and Marlon. The song is about some of the things I tried as a teenager to heal my panic disorder. This included seeing a psychic, completing a Reiki course, going on Lite’n’Easy to try and lose weight, and many other acts of desperation. Nothing worked, but I’m OK.”
