St. Jude, Laura
Double-a-sided
This Scottish singer songwriters emotional torch songs sound like the soundtrack to a gothic Wild West movie, and theyre utterly immersive - (Breaking More Waves) "Laura St Jude is blessed with a rich, evocative voice that silences the room from the moment she begins" - (The Skinny) "Sultry, crisp vocals well beyond her years, St. Jude toys with the listener like a femme Black Widow does her mate just before entirely devouring him." (National Collective) Laura St. Jude (born April 2, 1992) is a singer, songwriter and musician based in Glasgow, Scotland. Laura is a romantic realist. She dredges the depths of melancholy without succumbing to the banalities of self-pity, showing the listener that hope is always present in the midst of darkness.
