What I like about Laura is the blending of R&B and pop with a hint of that oldies street corner style . Funny but if you look at the songs there are so many that people would not attribute to her at all.

Stoned Soul Picnic
Sweet Blindness
Save The Country
Eli's Comin'
Stoney End

Great lyrics and melodies with a nice R&B Feel. And her voice has that nasally sweetness that fits the tunes perfectly. NY Tendaberry and Eli and The Thirteenth Confession.
Gonna Take A Miracle is a great way to start as she does covers of lot of the old soul music of the 60's.
So what about this, "Angel In The Dark"? I haven't heard it.
