Exclusive: Bec Laughton's EP Tour And Joyous New Clip

5 September 2012 | 11:05 am | Dan Condon

The first single from her new EP has dropped and it looks to open her up to a whole new audience.

If you don't hail from Brisbane then you might not yet be familiar with Bec Laughton, a petit redhead with a monstrous voice and a serious knack for penning a pop hook. It has come time for her to make a concerted charge towards the spotlight, which she is doing with a new single called Holy Love 2, featuring a guest vocal from Ni.Na and a video clip for it, which premiere's on theMusic.com.au today!

A clear love of booty shaking old-school funk has informed this latest tune from the singer and you can expect more of the same from her new EP By The Fire, which will be released across the nation on Friday 21 September. The EP, made with Jan Skubiszewski (Cat Empire, Jackson Jackson, Bliss n Eso), is a massive step up for Laughton and we're excited to see how these songs translate live.

Dates for the launch shows, which take here everywhere from Adelaide to Fingal, are below:
