Laura Lucas Shares New Single 'Woman'
Canadian-born, Melbourne-based singer-songwriter Laura Lucas today shares her new single "Woman", a striking reflection on gender dynamics and desire, lifted from her forthcoming debut album There's A Place I Go, due November 14 via Nettwerk.
Co-written in Nashville with Bre Kennedy, "Woman" unfolds over a steady beat and driving guitar, building into a hypnotic hook: "They say I should want this, want this, want this / Don't know what I want is, want is, want is." Blending quiet intimacy with powerful intensity, the track weaves Laura's warm, dreamy vocals through a layered indie folk-pop soundscape.
"Like a lot of people, I grew up internalising a patriarchal script about sex and relationships that really does not set women up for fulfilling connections," Laura shares. "There was a point in my early twenties when I started to interrogate that script, and this song is a product of that questioning."

With its sharp lyricism and cinematic production, "Woman" marks one of the most emotionally potent moments on There's A Place I Go – Laura's bold and introspective debut album recorded in London with acclaimed producer Tom Iansek (Big Scary, #1 Dads, Maple Glider, Lisa Mitchell). Due out Friday November 14, the record blends indie folk intimacy with expansive, atmospheric layers, exploring themes of identity, longing, womanhood, and self-acceptance – culminating in a record that is as intimate as it is fearless.
Earlier this year, she began unveiling the album through singles "Reincarnation Song" – an existential, hopeful meditation on life's cycles – and "Did The Mountain Change You?", a softly aching track about holding onto hope that's no longer yours. There's a Place I Go follows Laura's 2023 EP The Dreamer and a run of celebrated collaborations, including "When The Fire Started" with Israel Cannan, "I Imagine You Are Happy" with Lawson Hull, and "A Quiet Heart Is An Unused Heart" with Ciaran Lavery.
"There's a Place I Go," Laura says of the album's title, "refers to thinking of creative expression as not just something one does, but a place that you go to – a sort of retreat from the rest of the world. I wanted to call my first album this to honour what songwriting means to me, and to remind myself that that 'place' is the core of what I'm doing and why I make music in the first place."
Born and raised in Winnipeg, Canada, and now based in Melbourne, Laura Lucas' writing is shaped by distance, memory, and growth – her storytelling often balancing sharp detail and raw vulnerability with open-ended wonder. As she found her way toward this debut album, she was shaped by some of life's big shifts, and now she hopes these songs serve as a quiet reminder that there is strength in softness, and that sensitivity can be a superpower.
