[b]介绍：[/b]
Pop singer-songwriter Laura Warshauer is a storyteller first and
foremost. Through her music, she examines loss, love and life. The
24-year-old New Jersey native crafts sonic gems, through combining
massive pop melodies and flourishes of folk. Her lyrical sensibility
hearkens back to songsmiths like Joni Mitchell and Fiona Apple, while
the music possesses a pop rock passion a la U2. Laura wants to take
listeners on a journey, and her music's the perfect vessel. "Convince
Myself," "December Night" and the first single, "Sweet 17," are
entrancing, soothing and infectious. She's paved her own path, and the
ride has just begun.
Laura will release her self-titled seven-song debut EP on September 23
via Island/Pink Chariot/Fontana. The music is like an aural embrace,
pulling listeners in and holding them tightly. "Please Don't Lie"
features orchestral textures that perfectly compliment her warm,
ethereal vocal harmonies. She describes her sound best, "There's
definitely a folk sensibility, but it's really about grand melodies. I
have a very classic pop structure in terms of my writing style, but
lyrically, I offer a unique angle." That angle sees Laura exploring
experiences intimately and in a relatable manner. Songs come naturally
to Laura, and she lets inspiration take hold. "I say everything I need
to in my songs. It's my job to stay out of the way and let the songs do
the talking."
The songs spoke loud and clear, and Laura's immense talent caught the
ear of Island Def Jam Chairman Antonio "L.A." Reid. He received one of
her demos, and he had to go see her play. "He came to my rehearsal room
on a Sunday night, and he signed me on the spot. His hands were in the
air when he heard me. He was speechless. The next day he asked me what I
envisioned for myself. I looked him right in the eye and said, 'I want
to rock stadiums, and I want to be doing it 25 years from now.' He
replied, 'I want to do it with you.'" Their partnership has set the
stage for Laura's EP this fall and her full-length, Such A Lovely Place,
due out in 2009. There's no doubt she's on to big things.
The songs say it all. "Sweet 17" is a dreamy anthem of unrequited love.
Laura reminisces about her high school years while exploring the
relationship she could've had with a romantic interest. "I wanted to
capture that nostalgic feeling of being 17. At the end of the day, it's
a song about love: finding it, losing it, wondering if it exists or if
it's only in your head. I bring a fantasy that I longed for to life.
This wasn't necessarily the reality of my own life, but the song asks,
'What if it could've been?'" "Sweet 17" highlights Laura's unique voice
and her knack for a big hook. "My Fault" further showcases her
diversity. The slow and heartfelt song explores abusive relationships
intimately. "That song is especially poignant for me. I love to be
involved in organizations that speak out against domestic violence.
People can relate to this song if they've ever been in a relationship
where they've lost themselves. 'My Fault' captures what it feels like to
be in an abusive situation."
Laura's created a hypnotic and vulnerable live show through numerous
club concerts and festival dates. In addition to traditional gigs, she's
been involved with Musicians On Call since she was 16. Musicians On Call
began in the pediatric cancer ward at Memorial Sloan-Kettering, and the
group allows artists to play bedside for patients. About these special
performances, Laura comments, "You have three minutes to make a
difference. You're either going to, or you're not. You can feel the
results immediately. You want to take that person somewhere else."
In addition to an escape, Laura wants to give audiences something they
can truly connect to. "People respond when you're honest in your art.
love it when people get a sense of something real, organic and human
from my music. I want to make my music mean something, and I want them
to feel an emotional connection. I also want to bring them on some sort
of ride." It's going to be the ride of a lifetime, and Laura's driving.
