Listen, imagine a romantic café or bistro, or the setting of an historic club, on stage, a band and a singer, so seductively sweet. A voice that carries with it an air of times before but also brings a signature contemporary expressiveness.
Laura Anglade’s sound is deceptively simple and gentle. There is strength in the honesty infused in her phrasing; it’s the phrasing of the storyteller who gives characters and character life the way the focused actor does with skilled inflection, movement, and tone. Her originally classically trained voice shares an element of that training’s own kind of drama and gives an unique treatment to a song. Anglade sings as if the Great American Songbook was created because, among so many greats, she would sing its music one day. French roots romance the music of composers like Trenet and Legrand and artists like Jeanne Moreau. Listen to Anglade and be romanced and embraced by the nuance of inflection.
