Press Coverage

Laurice was reviewed in Octobers Blues & Soul Magazine (U.K.). Here's a quote:

"Best of the bunch though is 'Watching the City Come Alight'. It's got a decent melody, an infectious chorus and the tempo is just above a ballad, you know the kind of beat beloved of modern soul boys. Through it all Laurice's voice is strong and soulful and again we make the point that real soul is out there it just needs searching out". - Bill Buckley

The song debut @ #12 on their Autumn Soul Chart (beating some famous names).
