Melbourne based singer/songwriter CHERIE LAURENT has released her extremely catchy new single and music video called LOVER.
The single is a reminder that sometimes you just need to let your hair down and explore your sexy side. Cherie is also paying homage to Australia in the single, a country she adores and is proud to call home.
“When I arrived to Australia as an immigrant, I was not familiar with the term ‘Oi’. As I was crossing the road I was almost hit by a car and the driver yelled ’Oi’ at me! Back then I did not know the meaning of it and I didn’t know if it was good or bad! Now I use it wherever I go with my friend as an Australian thing and I love it. By the time I landed in NYC during ‘Fleet Week’, there were so many good-looking American sailors in their beautiful white pressed uniforms. That made my heartbeat faster and my cheeks blush, as they would approach me and ask me where I am from and I always said I am Australian. They would immediately start using ‘Oi’ to refer to me as the Australian girl. This is where the lyric ‘Oi, Oi, Oi you’re my randy sailor boy’ was born.”
