Punk-popping one minute, racing on caffeine and hitting the walls the next for a slam-bang youth party anthem the next, that’s ‘Do I Have Your Attention?‘ the latest single from Anglo-French guitarist Laura Cox. Fun, high on energy, it’s out now and taken from Trouble Coming her fourth studio album due on Friday 31st October via earMUSIC
“‘Do I Have Your Attention?’ is a track with a clear message and raw sound,” the guitarist exclaimed. “It grabs the listener’s attention in a direct way, evoking the ambivalence of letting go, whether it’s liberating or self-destructive.”
Equal parts attitude and adrenaline, ‘Do I Have Your Attention?‘ is a reckless dare: speed the amp, plant the foot on the pedal, and watch the world react. Lyrically it plays with the thrill of excess and the edge between fun and destruction – calling out phoniness, testing limits, and refusing to play small. Musically, it’s a fierce one-shot of guitar mayhem: chugging riffs, saturated leads and a chorus that invites singalongs and sing-offs in equal measure.

The new single follows the earlier releases ‘No Need To Try Harder’ and ‘Trouble Coming’, and is said to act as a loud, electric snapshot of the energy that runs through the forthcoming Trouble Coming album. Fans should find everything that made Laura Cox famous on it – Raw guitar chops, classic rock heart, dialled up with a modern punch that keeps the sound urgent and immediate.
“Trouble Coming marks a new era in my musical evolution, still firmly rooted in the rock that shaped me, but driven by complete freedom in writing and composition,” added Cox. “This album reflects a sense of letting go, both through the themes it explores and the modern sounds that emerged from an unexpected collaboration.”
The album will be released physically as a CD digipak, 180g gatefold black vinyl, limited edition marbled white and black vinyl, and limited edition marbled transparent red and black vinyl.
Recorded atICP Studios in Brussels, the album features 11 fresh tracks, mixed and engineered by Jean-Marc Pelatan at Studio des Muses, with tracks mastered by multi-GRAMMY award-winning Ted Jensen (The Eagles‘ Hotel California, Green Day‘s American Idiot, The Police‘s Synchronicity).
Tracks featured are: ‘No Need To Try Harder’, ‘A Way Home’, Trouble Coming’, ‘Inside the Storm’, ‘What Do You Know?’, ‘Dancing Around the Truth’, ‘Out Of The Blue’, ‘The Broken’, ‘Rise Together’ and ‘Do I Have Your Attention?’.
Big broad stroked Mississippi waves of blues energy get subverted along eerier pop nuances on Laura Cox’s ‘No Need To Try Harder’ single, but there’s also an overall White Stripes pounding that gets driven to the ear that proves just as affecting and damn catchy.
Cox proved herself a guitar prodigy, appearing on YouTube in 2008, where she began captivating millions of people with her fiery classic rock covers and blues-infused solos. Her talent and charisma quickly propelled her from viral sensation to a celebrated figure in the rock scene, earning widespread acclaim for a raw, retro-inspired sound.
After stepping into the spotlight and achieving 903K subscribers with 105 million views via those YouTube covers, Cox soon became the guitarist and singer with the most views in the French rock music scene thanks to her amazing first two albums Hard Blues Shot (2017) and Burning Bright (2019).
Cox continued to evolve with her sound with authenticity and power. Her 2023 album Head Above Water received praise for its classic-meets-modern rock fusion and she has become a rising female rock artist in Europe.
A badass rock’n’roll lady who makes her guitar produce sounds that are about to shake the world in a ground-breaking fashion.
