    French modern-rock artist Laura Cox returns with a brand-new, previously unheard single, “Not Your Story,” out now via earMUSIC / veryrecords. Released in the middle of her current tour, the track delivers a relentless surge of raw rock energy – a fresh chapter that continues the spirit of her acclaimed album “Trouble Coming” while revealing a darker, more urgent edge.

    Listen to the new single “Not Your StoryHERE

    Driven by a ticking, clock-like rhythm that dictates the pulse of the song, “Not Your Story” unfolds with a sense of constant tension. Click by click, the track builds into a gritty, guitar-heavy rock anthem with unmistakable 90s-tinged attitude – sharp riffs, pounding drums and Laura Cox’s unmistakable voice cutting straight through the noise.

    Lyrically, the song dives into the maze of ambition, pressure, and identity. It captures the moment when chasing someone else’s dream becomes a trap – a place where the line between aspiration and obsession begins to blur. With lines that challenge the listener to question the path they’re on, “Not Your Story” becomes both a warning and a wake-up call: if the dream isn’t yours, what’s the point of chasing it?
