Laura Jean Anderson

“I feel like I’m giving birth to my first baby!” says Laura Jean Anderson, because today marks the release of the Los Angeles-based artist’s new EP, “Lonesome No More,” via B3SCI Records. The seven-song album comes two years after her first EP, “Righteous Girl,” introduced ears to Anderson’s gritty, sultry power ballads. The Washington-born, Mormon-raised, CalArts-educated rebel and one-time berry farmer channels heartache with conviction on latest single “Call It What It Is.” With both piano and synth bolstering the melody, the song delivers a balance of retro and modern touches that crash like waves against Anderson’s impassioned voice as it cuts through the dark mood, triumphantly emotional.
