LAURIA - WHEN I’M AN ANGEL Artist website: lauriamusic.com Santa Fe’s Laurianne Fiorentino, now known as the artist Lauria has released her first studio CD “When I’m An Angel” with the help of 300 Kickstarter backers. This is her sixth CD - the first five CDs being live-concert and experimental recordings. "You got them to think! You got them to laugh! You got them to sing!  How fabulous!" Odetta Since the release of her debut solo live CD, “The Match” in 1997 (reissued as “Interview with The Planet” in 2008) Lauria has toured internationally and performed her brand of Americana Soul for film and theater soundtracks.  “There's no whinging or finger-pointing here. Just music that's honest and challenging...with a tinge of humor. Check out the spoken-word title track with the twisted blues-band-from-hell backing track.” REPUBLIC OF FIORENTINO - Singer-songwriter Laurianne Fiorentino has always brought a certain panache to her work, an undeniable passion that pulsates outwardly from her guitar and right into your freaking heart. It’s how she was able to crowd-fund her new album When I’m An Angel, with the help of hundreds of fans. She put together a killer back-up band, tapped jazz stalwart John Rangel for production and assembled a genre-defying set of textured rock-meets-soul-meets-jazz(ish) songs. “No shoe-gazing here,” Fiorentino, who now goes by Lauria, says. “Just a passionate dance through a festival of genres.” Amen Sister.
