Lara will use her Women Make Music award to record, produce and release her new EP – Divided in 2024. Lara has recently signed with Sound Records label who will be pressing the EP to vinyl; Lara’s debut vinyl release!Her new music is both playful and provocative, turning dance floor sounds into protest songs. Addressing subjects that affect us all – the highly polarised state of our politics as well as our conflicted inner and outer selves – Lara has created a sonic space that embraces this duality and gives voice to her own insecurities and anger at the state we find ourselves in, but also a desire for change, for a world that’s a little less divided.
