Missy Higgins really inspired me to start writing music."[3]

Louise released another EP, Full Hearts and Empty Rooms, in April 2011 and one of its four tracks, "Jungle", received high rotation on the national youth radio, Triple J. The EP reached the ARIA Singles Chart top 100. During that year she toured in support of Boy & Bear.
