“A smouldering electronic sound” Evening Standard

‘Soft Control’ is the debut album from Laura Welsh, released 19th January on Outsiders/Polydor.The album includes the acclaimed singles ‘Break The Fall’, ‘Cold Front’, and ‘Undiscovered’, plus new single ‘Ghosts’. 

On ‘Soft Control’ the Staffordshire-born singer-songwriter worked with an eclectic bunch of co-stars, collaborating with indie polymath Dev Hynes, Robin Hannibal from R&B minimalists Rhye, Jonathan Lipsey (Alicia Keys, Amy Winehouse) on ‘Ghosts’, Greg Kurstin (The Shins, Beck, Lily Allen), Emile Haynie (Lana Del Ray, Kanye West), Scissor Sisters’ Babydaddy and Amanda Ghost. The album also includes an incredible duet with John Legend, ‘Hardest Part’.

Laura Welsh is a modern pop force with an irresistible voice, who makes captivating, confessional songs which share the unguarded abandon of Florence and The Machine and Adele. She co-produced the album tracks ‘Call To Arms’ and ‘Hollow Drum’ and earlier this year she scored at Top 10 hit as the co-writer and vocalist on Gorgon City’s massive summer anthem ‘Here For You’.
