Louise Aubrie is back with a captivating new offering that further cements her reputation for sharp, guitar-driven songwriting. Released on 5th June 2026, her latest single ‘Vienna’ acts as a thrilling teaser for her highly anticipated upcoming studio album, ‘LFA’.
The London-born artist has long navigated a fascinating creative duality. Aubrie cut her teeth writing and performing across the UK capital before sharpening her indie-rock edge on the legendary stages of downtown New York. Following a move to Los Angeles, where the material for ‘LFA’ was penned, her transatlantic identity has evolved into something grander and beautifully cinematic.
Recorded at the historic East West Studios in Hollywood, ‘Vienna’ is built on a rich tapestry of dual inspirations. Firstly, the track serves as a love letter to the romanticism and history of Tinseltown itself. Aubrie channels the overwhelming sensation of moving to a bustling new city, using lyrics like “I’m the featured star of your technicolour 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” to capture the glittering, high-stakes drama of LA.
Backing her artistic vision is a stellar lineup of musicians who have previously lent their talents to icons such as David Bowie, Morrissey, Bruce Springsteen, and Bryan Adams. Their seasoned musicianship adds an undeniable polish and sonic depth to the arrangement.
Beyond the West Coast imagery, the track takes a poignant nod from Billy Joel’s classic song of the same name. Aubrie found immense comfort in its core message—reminding us to slow down and appreciate the present rather than rushing blindly ahead. This grounding philosophy helped her anchor herself amid the dizzying energy of California. The thematic link is even more personal given that both Aubrie’s and Joel’s families share historic, intimate connections to the actual Austrian city. The result is a beautifully woven piece that bridges continents and personal histories seamlessly.
With past acclaim from BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music, and Billboard, Aubrie continues to rise. ‘Vienna’ is a bold, confident stride forward that perfectly marries British indie grit with big-screen American ambition.
