Where did all the fireflies of Montréal go? That's what Laurena is wondering. Let her know if you find out. (2m31s music video)
She reminds me a little of Rae Spoon, one of my favourite Canadian artists. Now I have two, and one of them is definitely female! I used to like almost exclusively female artists and now almost exclusively male.
One thing I really enjoy about Laurena is that she manifests ideas I dreamt of before, desiring a new future for music. I think the Open Music people would call it democratising music. My friend Shane was skeptical. My thinking was in response to the piracy all my friends were committing. They complained about the labels. I thought, if the labels are the problem, then artists and their audience should skip the labels. Apparently, part of the solution is also creating nifty music videos, though. I like a good visual too.
Also, as I am certain you are playing Angry Birds as you read this, here is a nifty cover of its theme by Pomplamoose (1m19s):
