With evocative and resonant instrumentation complementing her exquisite voice, Laura Hickli crafts a baroque, illustrious brand of chamber pop. The lyrical content of her debut LP Flowstate sees the songwriter boldly tackle traumas and insecurities, emerging stronger for having done so. The 2020 single “Listen,” recorded at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, takes an ethereal and forward-thinking new direction.
