Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter Laura Jane (www.laurajanemusic.net) has turned quite a few heads with her eclectic, powerful brand of soul music. She certainly won us over when we first heard her album Everything Changes and SoulTrackers agreed. So we're very proud to be presenting Laura's pulsating, soul driven track, "My Confession," as this month's Choice Track FREE DOWNLOAD. It's a great demonstration of the power brought by this new artist who is making waves in the soul music world. ~ Originally posted at Soultracks.com
