Laura Fortini Turns A Private Family Struggle Into Her Most Vulnerable Song Yet On “Shattered”

Thu Sep 24, 2026

 Aurora, Ontario singer-songwriter Laura Fortini releases "Shattered," the second track she has released to the public, though it will land as the tenth song on her forthcoming 14 track, self-titled debut album. The song arrives eight months after her debut single, "Look In," released October 10, 2025, and comes ahead of her later radio debut, "Lights Went Out," which looked back on a bittersweet teenage memory.

"Shattered" pulls from something far closer to the bone, a private family struggle Fortini watched her twin brother go through, and the helplessness of wanting to stand beside him while not being able to say so out loud.

Fri Jul 17, 2026

Singer-songwriter Laura Fortini, releases her debut single for radio, "Lights Went Out,": a warm, narrative-driven pop song built from a real memory she carried for years before finding the right way to tell it. The third song in her released collection, coming after her previous songs, “Look In” and “Shattered”, is a flirty, nostalgic track that reminisces about a late-summer/early-Autumn memory.  Written when Fortini was just fifteen, the track marks the first official radio release from the 23-year-old artist, who also performs under her own name as she works toward a full-length, self-titled album.
