After signing a contract with Warner Bros, Laurie released a blues album Let Them Talk , which was released initially in France on April 18, 2011 and later in the UK on May 9th.
He has written one novel, "The Gun Seller," and another one, "The Paper Soldier," is tentatively scheduled for September 2009. Mr. Laurie has some musical talent, notably the piano and mouth trumpet (he can make convincing trumpet sounds using just his mouth). He played '20s numbers on the piano in the TV series "Jeeves and Wooster" (again with Stephen Fry) in addition to some original comic songs in "A Bit Of Fry & Laurie." He is currently a member of "Band from TV" with several other TV personalities. He is married with children, although he has become somewhat of an absentee father due to his work on American television while his family stays in London.

Most every night
Please don't scold me
Just treat me right
Baby please make a change
Baby please make a change
Baby please make a change
Let them change an ocean
And the deep blue sea
Be kind to your baby
There be a change in me
Baby please make a change
Baby please make a change
Baby please make a change
I think it will do you good

That'll get your man out of this neighbor hood
Baby please make a change
Baby please make a change
Baby please make a change
I think it will do you good
Well darling I'm telling you

But if you tell me again you gonna make me sad
Baby please make a change
Baby please make a change
Baby please make a change
I think it will do you good

I'll end up going if you don't change my mind
Baby please make a change

The lyrics to Hugh Laurie's "Baby Please Make a Change" are a plea to a lover to make some changes in the relationship. The singer is begging their partner to treat them right and not to scold them. They ask their lover to make a change as they believe it will be beneficial for them. They suggest that even nature changes and they hope that their lover will too. The singer indicates that if his lover makes changes it will be positive not only for him but for them too. They inform their lover that it will benefit him by getting his mind out of the neighborhood. The singer expresses that they are not mad at their lover, but they will end up leaving if the relationship doesn't change.
One could understand the singer's need for change, which is a common theme in many love songs. The singer is requesting that their partner treat them better, and it is a recurrent theme in relationships to seek changes when they feel undervalued or mistreated. The bridge of the song gives a positive outlook to the changes both partners can make. The singer is living proof that forgiveness is possible, but they are still requesting their lover to try to make a change before it's too late. Overall, this song can be interpreted as a plea for communication, connection, and action in a relationship.
