In The Spotlight

Lauren Lanzaretta – “Calm The Storm”

Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, this soul singer, songwriter and musician is a self-made artist. She had learned to play guitar and had been writing songs throughout her 20s, but it wasn’t until she started a Facebook page and emailing DJ’s that her dreams would start to come true. She dropped her debut album “Naked Soul” back in 2014 and she’s become a very active artist on the local scene.

As the basis for soul can be found in gospel, this is also true for her latest single. It’s a gorgeous, mesmerizing piano ballad, with pop, soul and gospel influences, which sounds honest and pure. Her deeply, emotionally-laden vocals have an almost hypnotizing quality and with the gospel backing of JABTUNE it gives the song a fragile, yet powerful edge.

From her upcoming album “Deliverance”, to be released in early 2018:
