Details:
Laura Kanani is an extraordinary singer/songwriter of captivating presence with a voice beyond description, but let me try.... PJ Harvey, Nina Simone and Joni Mitchell come to mind. Throw in the depth of arrangements and instrumentation similar to Portishead and it's an all out brawl of truth and beauty. These songs have a definitive soul with a style all their own.
Her debut album, simply entitled "Lo', features the talents of Rusty Logsden of the Eels, Shane Endsley and Ben Wendel of Kneebody, Jeff Mince of Nina Hagen and Larry Ciancia of Ben Taylor, Double G of Dakah, guitarists Dan Johnson and Jon Seyssell, producer Trevor Sperry and DJ Peyote Cody. Laura is in very good company, creating timeless music that crosses multi-cultural boundaries. Urban sensibility with a soul, grace with a jagged edge, infectious melodies and yes, you can dance to it!
