Editor's note

Laura Jansen writes folk-pop songs about personal themes

A songwriter from Devon who moved to London, making music that stays grounded in her early style.

For a good sense of her, try 'Come To Me' or 'Paper Boats.' They're quiet but not fragile, the kind of songs that work in a room with just a guitar.

Her songs like 'Come To Me' and 'Single Girls' have that direct, personal quality that feels lived-in rather than polished. She recorded 'A Call To Arms' with Ed Harcourt, but mostly works with multi-instrumentalist Chris Hill. The music doesn't chase trends, it's just solid songwriting about the stuff that sticks with you.

She grew up in Devon writing folk and rock songs, then moved to London in 2007. Her first EP with Chris Hill was 'All the Leaves Are Gone,' followed by the 2010 album 'You Were the Only One.' Since then she's kept putting out songs like 'Bells' and 'Elijah,' staying close to that original sound.
