With the release of her debut album as The Mynabirds, Laura Burhenn has officially turned the page from her role as one half of Georgie James. Following the Mynabirds’ acclaimed first single “Numbers Don’t Lie,” Laura is giving another taste of What We Lose in the Fire We Gain in the Flood” with the bouncy, kiss-off anthem “Let the Record Go.”
What We Lose draws from the gospel, old soul, and rock ‘n roll that Burhenn was raised on, and many of the lyrics are inspired by a Zen-like view of the themes of loss and recovery. With a surprisingly husky voice, considering her small stature, Burhenn adorns her words with a rich and emotive tone. In the studio, singer-songwriter/producer Richard Swift helped carry out Burhenn’s vision, resulting in an album packed with both subtle detail and immediate charm.
