New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Catalan singer, composer and multi-instrumentalist Lau Noah releases her newest and most ambitious album A DOS, a genre-blurring collection of original duets with many of her friends and heroes from the worlds of roots, jazz and global music. Accompanying today's announcement, Lau releases "Wooden Chair" featuring Salvador Sobral. The glowing single comes with a video for the song recorded live in the studio, watch here. Lau just appeared on New York Public Radio's New Sounds/ Soundcheck to perform songs from the album - watch here.
This release follows "If A Tree Falls In Love With a River," Lau's duet with another multiple-Grammy winner Jacob Collier, plus collaborations with Chris Thile, Silvia Perez Cruz and Jorge Drexler all of which will be included on A DOS. Other special guests on the album include: Shai Maestro, Cecile McLorin Salvant, Gaby Moreno, Salvador Sobral, and Angeles Toledano. Over more than a year Lau traveled to London, Barcelona, Madrid, Los Angeles, and back home to NYC to capture these remarkable collaborations.
Lau Noah will play Joe's Pub January 23rd to celebrate the release of her album with an extraordinary band and multiple special guests. She will be performing songs from 'A DOS' and her back catalog, tickets are available here.
Lau spoke on the album stating, ¨'A DOS' is the bridge between song and symphony. The place where counterpointal complexity fits into the ancestral structure of a simple song. And I have some of the best storytellers of our time helping me carry out this endeavor.¨
Lau Noah is heavily influenced by her Catalan upbringing, however, she developed her unique style of singing and playing guitar in counterpoint after moving to NYC. Her singular approach to music composition has earned praise from other artists such as Phoebe Bridgers and Moses Sumney ("she a genius") plus a stunning performance at NPR's Tiny Desk, making her the first Catalan artist ever to perform for the prestigious series. Billboard says Lau "is enchanting listeners one song at a time," and WBGO observes "Lau Noah's music somehow defies category while also belonging to various places and times at once."
