LAURA T DAVIS
“NOT YOUR FAULT”
Single Review

Review by Melanie Griffiths

Laura T Davis has always had a voice that can stop a room mid-conversation, but on Not Your Fault she wields it with a steadier, more deliberate force. You can tell that this song hits close to home for Laura and may be the most important song she has released.
Having cut her teeth on the Australian country circuit with a storytelling rooted in lived experience, Laura naturally leans toward earthy country-rock with an emotional grit rather than gloss. In Not Your Fault there’s a burnished quality to her delivery, warm, soulful and edged with a Meg Mac-like depth that gives the track its backbone before any instrumentation even enters the frame. You hear a woman choosing resolve over apology.

The song opens sparsely, as if she’s clearing the air so nothing competes with the truth she’s about to lay down. Then the production begins to layer itself, a low hum stretching underneath her vocal, drums that roll in with the calm gravity of a gathering storm. Nothing is over-styled; the arrangement grows in a way that mirrors someone steadily reclaiming her agency. The song inspiration coming from Laura’s reclamation of power after enduring a violent sexual assault as a teenager.
What stands out most is her command of tone. She doesn’t oversell the pain or romanticise the healing. Instead, she writes with a precision that avoids melodrama entirely, she’s almost documentary in the way she frames memory and survival.
There’s compassion in the phrasing, yet she never softens the harder edges of her story. The chorus lifts like a held breath finally let go, not triumphant in a glossy pop sense, but resolute, grounded, and honest. The drums have a tactile, heartbeat-adjacent feel, giving the track a sense of momentum that never overwhelms the vocal. It’s the kind of mix that understands the weight of the subject matter and doesn’t try to decorate it unnecessarily.
Experience the strength and power of this young artist because Not Your Fault operates as a reclamation of internal power and delivers a defiant fist into the air as an anthem for survivors.
