Notes
Like a lot of great artists whose inner muse won't let go until they pursue the deepest passions of their heart, Laura Roppé became sidetracked for some years after getting her theatre degree from UCLA. After focusing her attention on practicing law and starting a family, the hard driving, wildly ambitious San Diego based singer-songwriter now is quickly making up for lost time, inspiring thousands of women nationwide with her liberating breakthrough country/rock anthem "Mama Needs A Girl's Night Out" and her achingly honest ballad "Float Away," both from her dynamic and empowering debut CD Girl Like This. "Mama Needs A Girls Night Out" has taken on a life of it's own since it was selected as runner-up in the San Diego run of country superstar Kenny Chesney's Next Big Star Contest; Roppé, who performed "Mama..." at the Hard Rock Café in downtown SD, received votes from across the country on the local radio station website. Recently, the song was selected for inclusion on a popular CD compilation featuring emerging female indie artists from around the world - "Violet Femmes Vol. 2." Laura's built on it's success with a music video she's posted on YouTube, and she recently posted a follow-up video for another of the album's key tracks, "Little Daughter," a beautiful ballad dedicated to her daughters which is something of a counterpoint to the first song. It was inspired by asking herself, if she had three minutes to tell her kids everything they need to know to grow up to be happy, powerful women, what would she tell them? "The important lessons I've learned,"she declares proudly. Early releases of some of the other tracks have earned Roppé airplay everywhere from Spain, France and Belgium to Canada and Australia. Even more unusual in today's music world is Laura's success on corporate radio with the despair-turned-to-hope ballad "Float Away," which earned Laura an avalanche of response and recognition when it was played on San Diego's top-rated radio morning show "Jeff & Jer" on Star 94.1 FM (Clear Channel), and then picked up by the Mancow show in Chicago (and it's 45 syndicates nationwide). Laura has received emails and letters from around the world praising the song as "inspirational" and "a gift from God." Fans have emailed Laura to say that they are battling heartbreaking difficulties -- cancer, the loss of a spouse, the loss of a child, a painful marriage - but that the song is has given them the will to keep fighting on. The road to this recognition was unconventional for Laura, but then everything about Laura's path to music has been out of the ordinary: Roppé's incredible story leading up to her decision to start writing songs and eventually record Girl Like This begins with her running a real life 26.2 mile marathon race in San Diego. After crossing the finish line, she emerged as a different woman, convinced that she could overcome any odds and accomplish the impossible. She went home and wrote out all of the things she wanted to do but had yet to achieve on a legal pad. At the top of the list: singing. She contacted the popular local cover band CoolBandLuke, which was coincidentally looking for a new female lead singer. After putting together a makeshift demo, she got the gig and was soon belting out everything from Led Zeppelin and Janis Joplin to Kelly Clarkson, disco hits and Rihanna at private parties and hot local venues like The Belly Up Tavern. In early 2008, Laura made a demo with her cousin Matthew Embree of the Southern California based ska punk band RX Bandits, and she brought it to Grammy-nominated producer Steve Wetherbee of Golden Track Studio in Escondido, California; Wetherbee loved the songs and strongly encouraged Roppé to make a full length album. Girl Like This was produced by Wetherbee and features Embree on electric and acoustic guitar on several tracks, as well as several other well known veteran musicians, including guitarist Marc "Twang" Intravaia, fiddle and dobro player Dennis Ca
