Laura Jean Anderson - 'Call It What It Is'

LA-based artist Laura Jean Anderson release her debut EP ‘Lonesome No More’ alongside her new single ‘Call It What It Is’, seeing Laura Jean Anderson’s striking vocals flourish with a theatrical air.

Opening with intoxicating, whispered vocals and mysterious synth, ‘Call It What It Is’ slowly adds in new instruments to heighten the suspense. Suddenly, Anderson’s powerful vocal swings into full action showing off her versatility in a stunning way. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this song, it’s the kind that makes you want to quickly learn the words so you can sing along too. Her voice continues to build up throughout the song and lands itself in a beautifully executed falsetto and swirling melismas. 

On the EP in its entirety Anderson says, “I feel like I'm giving birth to my first baby! Its been such a deepening experience making this record and it's such an honour to share such personal parts of my story with the world".

Laura Jean Anderson has produced a brilliant collection of songs that I can’t stop listening to on repeat. Listen below!
