At the core of Duncan Laurence’s music is a flicker of hope. While the Dutch singer/songwriter frequently lays his soul bare, tackling issues such as heartbreak, loss, and loneliness, there’s always a silver lining. That’s particularly true of his new single, “Electric Life,” which looks at grief as a transformative experience. This new era, which includes his stunning sophomore LP, is part of a long, thoughtful quest for healing that began in childhood. Laurence’s parents divorced when he was young, and his grandparents’ home—where his grandmother often sang to him when he was anxious—was a
haven. Music became even more important to Laurence when he was bullied at school, but he found salvation when a physical therapist suggested he take piano lessons to treat a motor disorder. Soon he realized he’d found his purpose—to sing, to perform, to be vulnerable for the whole world to see. After he finished school, he polished up “Arcade,” a song that would change his life. The ballad went on to win Eurovision and amass more than 10 billion global streams. In the US, it became the first song from the competition to chart in 25 years when it reached No. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100.
While Laurence’s debut was focused on the past, his new music is about “the here and now.” His critically acclaimed & #3 top 40 Radio single “Electric Life” is followed up by Duncan’s massive vocal performance on his new release “I Want It All”.
