Trouble Coming: A Soulful Rock Evolution

Laura Cox’s Trouble Coming is a bold pivot, blending her fiery classic rock roots with raw vulnerability. Recorded at the prestigious ICP Studios in Brussels, the album was mixed and engineered by Jean-Marc Pelatan at Studio des Muses and mastered by multi-GRAMMY winner Ted Jensen (known for Eagles‘ Hotel California, Green Day’s American Idiot, and The Police’s Synchronicity). This powerhouse production elevates 11 fresh tracks, from the defiant opener “No Need To Try Harder” to the brooding “Inside the Storm”. Cox describes it as a journey inward, shedding the high-octane fury of her past for something more introspective—yet her guitar work remains groundbreaking, proving she’s a force in Europe’s rock scene.
