Singer-songwriter Greg Laswell has the kind of deep and textured voice that grabs you from the first note of a song to the very last hum. The California-native has released three albums in his stellar career, all of which fall under a hauntingly moody and lush blanket of music and lyrics. Laswell has a rare ability to convey raw emotion and intimacy through both his voice and his songs. He’s been compared to artists such as Jeff Buckley and Ron Sexsmith, but the truth is, Laswell stands out because he’s able to look outside himself and see his life as a viewer — making his autobiographical music a soundtrack that we can all call our own. Listen to Laswell’s rendition of Kate Bush’s “This Women’s Work” off his “Covers” EP, below, and look out for his new album, “Take a Bow” due out this spring.
