Review By Halina Wegner
Welsh singer-songwriter Laura Evans continues her unstoppable 2025 streak with her infectious new country-rock single “Superman”, a joyful and groove-laden track lifted from her forthcoming sophomore album Out of the Dark (out August 8th). Riding high on the success of earlier singles “Honest” and “Nobody Loves Me Like You”—both enjoying spins on BBC Radio 2 from the likes of Cerys Matthews and Owain Wyn Evans—Evans proves once again that her powerful voice and emotive storytelling make her one of the UK’s most exciting rising artists.
“Superman” comes with a deeply personal inspiration: when Evans first met her now-husband in 2020, friends affectionately nicknamed him “Superman” thanks to his Clark Kent resemblance. The song channels that memory into a vibrant, upbeat love anthem—an intentional shift from her more melancholic past work. The pounding rhythm and irresistible melody showcase Evans’ signature blend of soulful blues grit, heartfelt pop warmth, and rock-tinged swagger.
A performer since the age of five, Evans first made waves with her 2022 debut State of Mind, earning praise from Classic Rock Magazine as a “modern-day Stevie Nicks” and landing coveted playlist spots on Spotify’s ‘Nu Blue’. Her music has now surpassed three million streams and garnered international acclaim, with tours alongside Robert Jon & The Wreck, Walter Trout, and Cardinal Black cementing her reputation as a commanding live act.
With “Superman”, Laura Evans offers more than a song—it’s a celebration of love, joy, and connection, radiating a confidence that matches her current momentum. As Out of the Dark approaches and a UK tour looms, Evans looks set to continue her rise, cape or not. This is her moment, and she’s flying high.
