=== This musician shows examples of: ===
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Her material is supposed to be changing this way soon...
Line 12:
* [[Hotter and Sexier]]: Subverted. In fact, any photos of her have been seen as ''less'' sexy.
* [[Informed Attractiveness]]: The media's opinion of her, in general.
* [[Name's the Same]]: Her namesake [http://www.brmb.co.uk/Article.asp?id=1866566 here]{{Dead link}}
* [[The Parody]]: Her single ''You Should Have Known'' is a sort of [[Deconstructive Parody]] of dance music and love songs. Even the music video is a crossover between the two, albeit in a [[Take That]] way - at her record company.
* [[Reality TV]]: This is where it all began for her.
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]
* [[Refuge in Vulgarity]]
* [[Serious Business]]: Well, it's becoming this way, in the same way that [[Lady Gaga]] and [[Kesha|Ke$ha]] are.
** At one point, whether she won a round of ''[[The X Factor]]'' or not even made Parliamentary discussion.
* [[Springtime for Hitler]]: Laura lives up to the music industry phenomenon of the "contractual obligation" album. These are albums produced to fulfill the terms of a contract with a record label, usually at the label's insistence; but which the musicians do not want to record, either because they are unhappy with their contract, or they feel they lack sufficient good material for an album, or they are just no longer interested in doing it. "Contractual obligation" albums are typically either complete garbage done as a "screw you" to the record label, something completely silly done as way to blow off steam, a Greatest Hits Album, or a bizarre/experimental art project of some sort. Most of the time, these albums flop as intended; but occasionally, they will go on to achieve a substantial cult following. Occasionally, they will even make a small profit for the label. <br /><br />Her album, which has yet to be released, has apparently been seen as a "contractual obligation" album by the British radio industry.
