My Songs (Released so Far)
“Laura’s songs are full of fun, mischievousness, mythology and hope. ”
— Cambridge Folk Club
A duet with my friend Alex Laurance of The Hanging Bandits. Everyone needs a sunbeam in their life, right? 💛
Perhaps some of you can relate!
A tribute to my dear old car "Little Grey".
Words About
”Lullaby”:
"…not only is there a beautiful simplicity in the song, it's matched in both the lyric and vocal tone, this is one of those all too rare items, a genuinely comforting lullaby, great job Laura Dannan. - Fatea
https://fatea-records.co.uk/magazine/news/Singles93/
“Honestly, I think I would sleep soundly if tucked up in bed with Dannan singing this song. It’s gentle, soothing, and makes everything seem slightly happier before sending you off to dream beautiful dreams” - The Other Side
“Sunbeam”:
“A warm engaging folk song which you will find stuck in your head for a long while. A brisk, upbeat tune that doesn't out stay it's welcome at only 2 and a half minutes long. A bright, and charming song” - FATEA
“With her emotional melodies and intimate narratives, all interwoven with poetic tales, UK based Dannan has a reputation for depth, connection and tenderness.” - The Other Side
“Rise”:
‘Rise showcases Laura’s ability to craft compelling narratives and deliver them with sincerity and authenticity” - The Indie Grid https://www.theindiegrid.co.uk/singer-songwriter/singer-songwriter-laura-dannan-inspires-with-latest-single-rise/
“I need to feel the music to like it. It doesn’t necessarily have to be emotional, but a track has to mean something to the artist before it can mean something to me, or any other listener. And I feel this tune very intensely.” - Florian Maier https://www.kms.reviews/?p=8754
“The stream of consciousness words over a simple guitar, flute and strings backing show a more emotional side of the songwriting craft.” - https://www.fatea-records.co.uk/magazine/news/Singles66/
“Midlife Crisis” :
“British charm at it's finest” - Send Me Your Ears https://sendmeyourears.com/laura-dannan-midlife-crisis/
“Pure honesty with a a smile” - Florian Maier https://www.kms.reviews/?p=7951
“If you are of an age, her song Midlife Crisis is very relatable” - https://www.fatea-records.co.uk/magazine/news/Singles66/
“Little Grey”
“Intimate and inviting” - Send Me Your Ears https://sendmeyourears.com/laura-dannan-little-grey/
“It has a Joni Mitchell intimacy, a Fiona Apple sentimentality and Amanda Palmer obscurity. Interestingly enough, while these comparisons can be made, Dannan retains authenticity and originality in her music creating something purely Laura Dannan.” - The Other Side Reviews https://www.theothersidereviews.com/laura-dannan-little-grey-2023/
“This song is unbelievably cute and because of Laura’s sense of humour, it just makes her an even more endearing artist. More please Laura.” - Del Osei-Owusu https://platinummind.net/index.php/2023/01/22/single-review-little-grey-laura-dannan/
