The Australian R&B landscape is undergoing a major shift, and Larissa Lambert is the one holding the compass. Following a whirlwind year that saw her transform from a local secret into a global phenomenon, the Ballarat-born vocalist has officially entered her most confident era yet with the release of her stunning new single, 'I Love You Out Loud', out now via New Levels.
The track arrives as a triumphant follow-up to a massive 2025. It was a year where the digital world couldn’t get enough of her, leading to high-profile co-signs and social media follows from the likes of SZA, Justin Bieber, and Ty Dolla $ign. This surge of international attention has swiftly turned the spotlight on Larissa, cementing her status as a premier export of modern soul.
For this latest offering, Lambert has teamed up with Grammy-winning executive producer Khaled Rohaim, the heavyweight behind hits for Rihanna, Ariana Grande, and The Kid LAROI. Together, they’ve crafted a sound that feels both grand and intimate. While her previous work hinted at her potential, 'I Love You Out Loud' is a full-scale evolution—it is emotionally fearless, sonically lush, and tailored for everything from late-night headphone sessions to the world’s biggest R&B playlists.
Lambert’s ascent has been backed by a string of prestigious accolades. She recently secured a nomination for the 2026 APRA Music Awards for Most Performed R&B/Soul Work for her hit 'Cardio'. That same track earned her a Best Soul/R&B Release nod at the 2025 ARIA Awards, alongside being crowned TikTok Artist of the Year and Billboard’s October Rookie of the Month. After ringing in the New Year with a standout set at Beyond the Valley, she is clearly ready to take the next step.
Fans eager to experience this new chapter in person won’t have to wait long. As part of the Great Southern Nights initiative, Larissa will host an exclusive showcase titled 'Larissa Lambert – Before The World Knows' at Sydney’s iconic The Lansdowne on Saturday, 2 May. The one-night-only event promises a first look at unreleased material and a celebration of an artist truly on the brink of superstardom.
