Today we offer someone quite unique for our Artist of The Week; London-based Laura Elvin creates idiosyncratic alt-pop like nothing we’ve heard in a long time, and her latest single “Wonder” will leave you empowered—as well as perhaps slightly bewildered.
“Wonder” is performed on a custom-built music box, enabling Laura to create her own distinctive sound from the off-set. The twinkling notes playing in the background combined with Elvin’s powerful lead vocal somehow fit together wonderfully despite the obvious contrast. Fans of Kate Bush or Regina Spektor’s charismatic vocal styles will find similarities certainly, however Laura is definitely her own entity and we’re excited to see and hear what she’ll do next.
Laura is a fully autonomous artist and producer. Born in Camden and introduced to classical music by her family, Laura then went on to fully develop her love of jazz, classical pop, and rock music. After spending a number of years living on a sustainable farm, Elvin is now back in London ready to tackle the live circuit once again.
“Wonder” arrives in stores on 15th September 2017.
