Louise Aubrie Unveils New Single ‘Vienna’ Ahead of Upcoming Album LFA

Louise Aubrie, a London-born indie rock artist who splits her time between the UK and the US, returns with her new single Vienna, taken from her forthcoming studio album LFA. Having begun her career writing and recording in London before honing her sound on the stages of downtown New York, Aubrie has built a transatlantic identity defined by sharp songwriting and a punchy, guitar-driven edge. She later relocated to Los Angeles, where she wrote LFA, marking an exciting new phase in her evolution as an artist.

Recorded at the legendary East West Studios in Hollywood, Vienna draws on two central themes. The first is the mythology of Hollywood and the lasting legacy of the figures who built the industry. Lines such as “I’m the featured star of your technicolor dream and now I’m beautifully lit” and “Waiting to see the fruition of everything that came from the shows and flicks and hits and stacks and soundtracks” capture both the emotional intensity of relocating to a new city and the heightened drama of Los Angeles itself.

The second inspiration comes from Billy Joel’s Vienna, particularly its message about slowing down and savouring life rather than rushing ahead. Aubrie found a deep personal resonance in this idea, using it as a grounding force while navigating the excitement of life in Los Angeles. The connection is further enriched by the fact that both Joel’s and Aubrie’s families share close personal ties to Vienna, adding another layer of meaning to the track. Together, these influences intertwine to create Vienna—a transatlantic love song that bridges the US and Europe, wrapped in a deeply personal narrative.

Across her career, Aubrie has performed at renowned venues such as The 100 Club in London and The Bowery Electric in New York, recorded at iconic studios including Abbey Road and East West, and collaborated with an impressive roster of acclaimed musicians and producers. Her debut album Fingers Crossed…, produced by Boz Boorer, received critical acclaim in both the UK and US, earning national radio airplay and praise from Billboard. She has since garnered support across BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music, Kerrang and BBC Radio London, steadily building an international audience.

With LFA on the horizon, Vienna signals a confident new chapter for Louise Aubrie—one that seamlessly blends London’s indie grit with the cinematic scale of Los Angeles.
