— Une citation de Lou Laurence, artiste pluridisciplinaire

“You hear that rawness from the get-go on Best Seller, starting with lead-off track I Can’t Let Go, featuring nothing but percussion, gritty guitar lines and the positively feral vocals of Lou Laurence (real name Lauren Clinton). […] Lou Laurence, who sings on five tracks. She is, quite simply, amazing.”
“This young woman is probably THE pearl of ‘Best Seller’.”
Huffington Post Québec
Lou Laurence chante les textes de cinq pièces, y compris les très accrocheuses I Can’t Let Go et Life Is Good. Cette jeune femme est probablement LA perle de Best Seller.
