Laura Cahen is a French singer born in 1990, in Nancy who writes her music and lyrics herself. She soon started out in the guitar/contrebasse band 'Deux Z'elles' but decided to release an EP under her own name in 2012. Between 2012 and 2015 she released 3 EP's but it wasn't until 2017 that she released her first album: 'Nord'. Often comparing her voice to iconic singer Barbara, a French magazine 'Les Inrocks' even placed her between Barbara and Camélia Jordana. Laura herself admits her influences rather come from Serge Gainsbourg, Keren Ann, Bertrand Belin, a modern version of Barbara and mostly anglophone artists. She is praised for her clear, high voice that can put the emphasis on the right notes and words making her songs unique and always carrying a certain depth, also not shying away from difficult subjects. With that in mind you besides a gifted songwriter you can also call her a gifted raconteur, she uses her voice to make the message or story come across. Laura likes to instill her songs with a sense of movement by writing on trains. Finally in 2021 she released her second album 'Une Fille', from which this entry is taken.
