Laurell - Can't Stop Falling

Vancouverite channels the soul of the West Coast with her new album.

If folk-rock or acoustic pop is your thing, do I have a treat for you! Pick up the new album by Laurell, an artist reminiscent of Colbie Caillat, but with a bit more grit in her voice and punch in her song. A native of BC, Laurell says she was inspired by the laid-back lifestyle of the coast: “I grew up snowboarding, skateboarding, surfing, wakeboarding... and there’s a music, a culture that surrounds that, that I was attracted to at a young age. I think that naturally worked its way into my music.” Lose yourself in the poppy beats and meaningful lyrics, and let the distinctly West Coast feel of the compilation overwhelm you.

Thea’s fave track: Lights Fading
