Suburban Cowgirl (Australian Import) - Amber Lawrence

Amber Lawrence has released her eighth studio album, Suburban Cowgirl, and simultaneously published her debut children's book, The Suburban Cowgirl, bringing together two projects that draw from the same personal story. The six-time Golden Guitar winner says both releases examine her upbringing in Sydney's suburbs and the path that led her into Australian country music, a career that has now spanned more than two decades.

For Amber Lawrence, the dual release represents both a personal reflection and a career statement. The album is the follow-up to 2022's ARIA Award nominated Living For The Highlights and finds the singer-songwriter embracing themes of identity, family, ambition and resilience. At the same time, the children's book retells her own story for younger readers, tracing the journey of a city girl who dreams of becoming a country singer despite growing up far from Australia's traditional country music heartlands.

Speaking about the project, Lawrence said the title finally captures something she has always felt about herself. "I'm from Mascot," she said. "I love country music. I love telling stories. I always was the Suburban Cowgirl. It just took an album to make it official."
