'Not To Be Missed' (LA Times) Laura Jansen Earning Praise For Earnest, Unorthodox Alt-pop

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) Laura Jansen's quirky and enchanting twist on piano-based alt-pop has been showered with praise after a successful run at SXSW and the March 22 release of her US debut, 'Bells' (Decca Records). The LA Times raved that her performance tonight at Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles is "not to be missed," and that heartbreaking first single "Single Girls" "evocatively captures the first delicate steps into the unknown of singlehood."

During a six-show run at SXSW, the Dutch-born, LA-based Jansen sat down with Vevo to discuss 'Bells,' which grew out of the sudden Christmas Day end to a relationship. Though Jansen's blunt but delicate demeanor is strung through each song, she is not afraid to mix it up, such as in the reggae-tinged "Soljah." She even includes a heart-wrenching take on Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody," which Paste Magazine ranked No 9 in its list of "30 Fun Indie-Artist Covers of Pop Tunes."

Jansen, who AOL Popeater said "makes the little things magical," has a one-of-a-kind fashion sense as well. LuLu's is currently running a contest in which the winner will receive a set of stylish clothing handpicked by Jansen herself.
