New music: Laura White – ‘Jimi Hendrix’

Those who recall X Factor’s 2008 year will fondly remember Laura White, the female vocalist whose shock exit as a finalist of the show caused public outrage (and even made it into the Houses of Parliament!).

After a plethora of label-offers post-show, which resulted in the brilliant You Should Have Known (though criminally failed to set the charts alight), White has been working behind the scenes over the past few years, crafting her own path into industry.

After new track Come On Josephine was previewed earlier this month, the second release from White’s forthcoming What My Mother Taught Me EP has surfaced. Jimi Hendrix oozes class and sophistication, harking back to the Frank-esque days of Amy Winehouse.

Unfortunately for White, the charts have moved on somewhat since then. However, whilst EDM-enthused pop [unfortunately] rules the roost currently, from what we’ve heard of the new EP, there could be just enough for Laura White to craft her own imprint onto the credibility scale.

One things’s for sure; we can’t wait to hear what’s to come. Take a listen to Jimi Hendrix and let us know your thoughts.
