(Special note: Mandrake FM.com is where the music only podcasts are, however I want to share the interviews with you here as well. Enjoy and subscribe to both.)
Recently I spoke with Toronto-born vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, Jeannie Laws, about her new EP, Introducing Jennie Laws, which hits stores on May 13th (You can buy it now on eMusic.com, however the actual CD has one extra song). We also spoke about Canadian audiences vs. U.S. audiences, the “Professor Laws” section on her website, and her work as a songwriter/arranger for other artists. This disc is personally recommended for lovers of Amel Larrieux, Deniece Williams, and Van Hunt. Between our talk, enjoy audio snippets of the tracks, “Space”, “Heavenly”, and “So Deep”, from the EP.
