Soul with a twist

"Laurnea' is the type of original artist for people tired of "cookie cutter" genre artists that dominate the music scene today. Her music spans soul, hip-hop, jazz, singer-songwriter r & b, electronica and more but it's all held together by her great voice which can be both sexy/breathy and hard/energerized.
The thing is, most of her cd's have been really hard to get unless you wanted to pay big money for a Japanese import. But now this cd, the aptly-named "Collection" bring together a a bunch of great tracks from her entire solo career, including "Can't Let Go" and "Infatuation", which got some play off her great solo debut cd. It's the perfect way to get into this talented sister's music and positive message."
Fantastic soulful collection of amazing tunes

"A friend of mine had this cd in her car and Whoa what a great voice and songs Laurnea has. I ordered the cd the very next day. Seems she's got a bunch of cd's out, but most of them are very hard to find, or expensive imports, but this cd grabs all the best songs from her other albums and adds a couple of brand new ones. She certainly deserves to have a huge fan base as the songs on this cd are better than anything I've heard on the radio in ages. If you like soul or neo-soul, with classic melodies and a pop sensibility and accessability, yet want something a bit unique this is a cd that I guarantee will spin in your cd player for years to come. Every song is fantastic."
