Laura Cortese

Laura Cortese announces “Lucky Water,” her first studio album in six years, due October 9th on Compass Records. Recorded at Sylvan Esso’s Betty’s studio and produced by LOLLIES, the album finds the Ghent-based fiddler navigating motherhood and belonging across borders. Lead single “Face the Rain” builds from plucked fiddle into a warm sweep of brushed drums and woodwinds. Watch the accompanying live video.

Listen to Spend the Night, the gorgeously stripped-back new single from Laura Cortese & Belgian indie artist Douglas Firs. While, musically, it may be no frills, when it comes to emotional energy, it’s electrically charged.

Taken from their latest album ‘Bitter Better’, watch Laura Cortese & the Dance Cards performing the beautifully moving “How Long”, Laura also shares the touching story behind the song.
