Gemma Laurence is a indie folk artist from the coast of Maine, now based in Brooklyn. Her debut LP “Crooked Heart” came out in 2019, The American folkie Gemma Laurence makes a deep impression on her latest release “Lavender” with intimate and emotional folk songs and beautiful vocals, but also dares to colour outside the lines with special sounds
Gemma Laurence’s “Lavender” starts as a standard folk album with acoustic guitar, banjo and a beautiful voice, but as the album progresses, the American musician shows that she is not a standard folkie. Gemma Laurence’s voice is not only exceptionally beautiful, but she also interprets her personal songs with great feeling. Furthermore, in the often very atmospheric instrumentation she occasionally looks for adventure, making “Lavender” much more than the umpteenth folk album of the moment. The more I listen to it, the more impressive this album becomes. “Lavender” could just be one of the big surprises of 2022.
