Bugg,aubory - I Think I Had Something Once - Blue - Vinyl Record

By 13, Aubory Bugg was already turning personal experience into songs at local coffee houses - her search for belonging in a conservative, tight-knit town becoming the tension at the heart of her songwriting. Raised on Bonnie Raitt and Carole King, she found a new blueprint in independent artists like Lizzy McAlpine and Jensen McCrae, who were building careers online without compromising their artistry.When family hardship forced her to leave college, Aubory didn't step back from music - she leaned in harder. Juggling two jobs, she committed to posting a cover every day on TikTok. Her cover of Renee Rapp's "Tummy Hurts" went viral, introducing thousands of listeners.Now 21, Aubory's debut album i think i had something once captures a pivotal chapter of identity, independence, and leaving home behind. From heartbreak to nostalgia to grief, the record traces the many shapes of loss - and what it takes to move through it.
