Breakout alt-pop artist Laraw returns with a shimmering new single, Milk and Sugar, now available (via Bravo) on all major streaming and download platforms. Following the release of her French-language EP J’ai quitté le Heartbreak Club, Laraw shifts back to English for this warm, nostalgic track – just in time for summer.
Milk and Sugar is a tender, hook-filled ode to rediscovered love – one that captures the sweetness of shared memories and the thrill of falling all over again. With her signature emotional honesty, the Montreal-born singer of Moroccan and Lebanese heritage blends vulnerability with breezy alt-pop sensibility:
I know it’s been so long
Since I cared for
Somebody else but myself
Oh, I’m sure
You must’ve felt it
When you asked me for a cigarette
Oh, uh—here we go again
Oh no—is it in my head?
Laraw co-wrote the song with Jeremy Lachance and long-time collaborator Tim Buron. Buron also handled the mix, while mastering was completed by Gabriel Meunier. The result is an intimate, immersive single that continues to build Laraw’s reputation as one of Canada’s most compelling new voices.
Laraw’s momentum has only grown since the release of her 2024 debut album Quarter Life Crisis. Her single Standby Baby was featured on SiriusXM The Verge and Stingray Canadian Indie, while Beaux yeux climbed to No. 1 on CISM and held a spot in Stingray’s Top 5 for several weeks. The album also broke into Earshot’s National Top 30.
She has shared the stage with artists like Pomme and Jonathan Roy, and performed at leading festivals including Santa Teresa, Festival d’été de Québec, POP Montréal, and M for Montréal.
This summer, Laraw will hit the road for a Canadian tour, with confirmed stops at:
NXNE (Toronto) – June 13
Sled Island (Calgary) – June 18–19
Francos de Montréal – June 21
International Hot-Air Balloon Festival (Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu) – August 10
With Milk and Sugar, Laraw continues to cement her place in the indie-pop landscape – just in time to soundtrack your summer.
