Jansen, a Dutch-born, Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and musician, chronicles those little things, like cutting her hair, buying pink floral sheets, and venturing out for a drink with the guy down the hall, on "Single Girls" - the deceptively simple, but emotionally devastating first single from Bells, Jansen's upcoming debut album for Universal's Decca Records. A dreamy collection of piano-driven alt-pop songs, Bells has already gone platinum in Jansen's native Holland, propelled by "Single Girls" and a stunning cover of Kings of Leon's "Use Somebody," which has spent more than a year lodged in the Top 10 on the Dutch singles chart. In the U.S., Jansen is a fixture in the constellation of artists associated with Los Angeles nightclub The Hotel Cafe - a musical haven, creative incubator, and ultimately, national launching pad for such confessional-minded artists as Sara Bareilles, Priscilla Ahn, and Joshua Radin, whom Jansen toured with in 2008 and also just ended the 2011 tour with.

Laura is also going to perform at this year's SXSW (Austin, TX). You have 6 chances to see her, including an in-store performance at the beloved Waterloo Records.

One night, Joshua Radin was in the club and asked Jansen to audition for his touring band. She landed the gig, quit her day job, and spent six weeks on the road singing back-up vocals and playing piano, as well as opening for Radin in 2008...

From Cleveland via New York and LA, Joshua Radin is the uniquely word-of-mouth global success story that's just about to get a whole lot bigger with the release of his third album The Rock and The Ride, due out this fall on Mom and Pop Records.
Radin only turned to music after college, when he moved to New York City, bought a guitar and began learning to play his favorite Beatles and Bob Dylan tunes. Soon he was writing songs of his own. "I was always trying to find some medium to express myself," says Radin, who had previously studied art and spent six years writing screenplays. "When I started writing songs, I thought, 'This is as honest as I can be: getting onstage with my guitar and my voice and singing for people.'"
