The first thing you notice is the voice. Sweet, husky and hypnotic, it has also been described as being “full of knowing”. And then the songs; honest (sometimes achingly so) and uplifting, melodic and accessible, yet containing a depth that is sometimes belied by the sheer beauty of the music.

Singer/songwriter LauraDoyle’s first CD, “No Easy Answers” won her instant recognition when her songs were featured prominently in films such as the award winning “Suddenly Naked” and television series like “Dawson’s Creek”.

“Dark Horse” picks up where “No Easy Answers” left off, and reveals growth and greater maturity in Doyle’s music. Recorded live in the studio with her band, Passionfish, the music has an immediacy that is lacking in many contemporary releases, and in all the right ways has the ring of truth about it.
