Distinguished as early as 2015 by Le Monde, the BBC, FiP Radio and Les Inrocks for her first album Impressions, Laura Perrudin is back with Poisons & Antidotes in 2017, album masteredby Valgeir Sigurðsson at Greenhouse Studio in Reykjavík -Iceland (Björk, Feist, Camille, Damon Albarn…). This pop UFO flirting with electronica, neo-soul and experimental folk, relies on a unique instrument : an electric chromatic harp. Lending her voice to the sound experimentations she is so fond of, Laura creates a powerful personal universe that wonderfully materializes in her surprising live performances, where she gets to play around with the arsenal of a perfect geek (laptops, sound-effect pedals and multitrack loopers).

Talent Jazz Adami 2017, 2nd prize at the ‘Montreux Jazz Voice Competition’ 2014, prize for composition in the National Competition at ‘La Défense Jazz Festival’ 2013… Laura Perrudin performed in places and festivals like Théâtre du Trianon (Paris), New Morning (Paris), Montreux Jazz festival, MaMA event (Paris), Paris Jazz festival, Jazz on Vienne, Transmusicales de Rennes, London Jazz festival, Enjoy jazz festival (Germany), Bratistlava Jazz days… but also in Ireland, Rio de Janeiro, Netherland, Ukrain, China and Taïwan.

“French singer and electric harpist Laura Perrudin has drawn comparisons with everyone from Debussy to Flying Lotus and then a mesmerizing solo turn at the recent EFG London Jazz Festival that saw her harp used as both orchestra an drum kit. This sophomore record is a dreamy confection of electronica, neo soul and psychedelic folk, threaded with vocal experiments including clicks, breaths and whispers and multi-tracked harmonies that soar and soothe. Tracks including The Ceiling Maze, with its chilled R&B vibe and the offbeat Diurnal Fireflies, revel in this painterly approach. Two poems by William Blake, Auguries of Innocence et The Sick Rose, feel otherworldly. An arresting work by an artist destined for greatness.”  ★★★★ Evening Standard

“Perrudin’s strong melodies and poetic imagery make each song uniquely compelling.”  ★★★★ The Guardian, John Lewis
