Her debut album <em>Dirty Cheat<\/em> is a smash success. I had the pleasure of interviewing Laura last weekend, and she\u2019s quite charming and wise beyond her years.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite tracks from the <em>Dirty Cheat <\/em>album are <em>Sweet Escape<\/em> and <em>Let It Roll<\/em>. I asked Laura if those songs represented the beginning and the end of the same relationship: \u201cA lot of people ask that questions. Yes, essentially, with <em>Sweet <\/em>Escape, I started with that one night stand idea<em>. <\/em>With <em>Let It Roll<\/em>, things fell apart after they got more serious. Sometimes it happens; you get those feelings and then you lose them and then you have to sing a sad song about it. Whether they are about the same person or not, they are definitely bookend songs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Laura Cole produced Dirty Cheat with two Grammy award-winning producers: Steve Bigas and Daniel Lanois. How did the three connect? \u201cMy parents went to high school with Danial Lanois, who produced U2, Neil Young and Bob Dylan. They hooked me up with Dan as a mentor. I\u2019ve known him my whole life. Dan and I were in Louisiana together, and he recommended that I use Steve for my personal record. That\u2019s how we got hooked up, and now we\u2019re one big musical family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Actually, Laura Cole is from a musical family. Here\u2019s more about her music background: \u201cAs a kid, I was forced to take piano lessons. I never took many singing lessons. I joined choirs and things like that. My dad is a phenomenal piano player, and so is my mom. My dad still plays in bands, believe it or not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aside from her family, who are Laura Cole\u2019s music influences? \u201cMy influences are people like Sam Cooke, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. The real divas of that time are number one on my list. My more current influences are Gin Wigmore and Amy Winehouse, singer-songwriters like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Laura Cole is young and new to the music scene. How does she use social media to connect with fans? \u201cI keep updates rolling almost daily, as much as I possibly can without annoying them. I use Twitter a lot to keep fans in the loop. I find Twitter is a really great tool. I also use Instagram and I have my website. With social media, I find it\u2019s easy to grab people\u2019s attention. All people have to see is one thing they like and they follow you forever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She gave a recent example about one of her song videos going viral: \u201cRecently, I wrote a tobogganing song, because there\u2019s a tobogganing ban in Canada right now. That one song and video went somewhat viral at 28,000 views in the past week. It\u2019s interesting to see what you can put up and see how people engage. The simplest idea can become viral.\u201d What a great idea to write a song and produce a video about an extremely emotional and exciting current event! It also helps that the song and video are terrific.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B65R8oaD4tc\" width=\"450\" height=\"253\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p>Laura Cole has some great advice for other young singer-songwriters: \u201cYoung singers: just keep at it. Keep singing. Keep writing. My biggest advice is for writers: you\u2019re not going to write a hit every day. Not every single song is going to be your best song ever. Don\u2019t pressure yourself so much that you form a writer\u2019s block. Don\u2019t give up on this dream.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3325\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Laura-Cole-looking-up-225x181.jpg\" alt=\"Laura Cole looking up\" width=\"225\" height=\"181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Laura-Cole-looking-up-225x181.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Laura-Cole-looking-up-225x181-222x180.jpg 222w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>She also gave some tips for song ideas: \u201cI use my iPhone recorder. When I have a song idea that pops into my head, I record it right away. Don\u2019t let anything slip from your mind. If you aren\u2019t crazy about a song when you first write it, go back. Nothing is garbage. You may later get one line or one hook or one riff off that song. There\u2019s always a piece of gold stuck in the dirt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Laura continued, \u201cSay you write 20 songs that you\u2019re not crazy about. If you go back to those songs and pull one line or two lines from each of them, you can put together an amazing song if you add a new riff or idea. If you let that flourish, the possibilities are endless, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s up next for Laura Cole? \u201cWe\u2019re starting my second record. My bass player, Chris Chiarcos, and I have written some amazing songs. We wrote most of the second record together. The topics of the songs are different and yet similar. It\u2019s still the story of my life. Things are going from <em>Dirty Cheat<\/em> to where I am now. It\u2019s a lot more positive, but it\u2019s still really sassy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Laura Cole plans to go on tour and release new music in Canada around March. She is also making plans for the US too. Laura is also releasing the song <em>Come Be With Me Love<\/em>, from the indie film 88 starring Christopher Lloyd.<\/p>\n<p>I expect good things to continue happening for Laura Cole as she follows her heart.<\/p>\n<p>The Amused Now Featured Artist Series<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3319\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Laura-Cole-singing-to-circle-225x225.jpg\" alt=\"Laura Cole singing to circle\" width=\"225\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Laura-Cole-singing-to-circle-225x225.jpg 225w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Laura-Cole-singing-to-circle-225x225-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Laura-Cole-singing-to-circle-225x225-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Laura-Cole-singing-to-circle-225x225-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Laura-Cole-singing-to-circle-225x225-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>Laura Cole<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/lauracolemusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">LauraColeMusic.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/lauracolemusic\" target=\"_blank\">@lauracolemusic<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lauracolemusic\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/lauracolemusic\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cynthia Kahn, Founder of Amused Now<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Amused_Now\" target=\"_blank\">@Amused_Now<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AmusedNow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plus.google.com\/106372266016264510992\/about\" target=\"_blank\">Google+<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/amusednow\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/amused-now\/id916561789\" target=\"_blank\">iTunes<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canadian soulful and bluesy singer-songwriter Laura Cole is adorable.
