Description: Elba is the UK debut release from Dutch-American singer-songwriter Laura Jansen. Recorded in LA and produced by Matt Hales (Lianne La Havas, Diane Birch, Mikky Ekko), it takes inspiration from Napoleon's resilience, productivity and self-empowerment during his sovereignty over Elba whilst he was in exile there. Jansen uses this part of history to draw comparisons with her own feeling of being exiled: life as a travelling musician with dual nationality, never belonging and constantly moving. This is a record that explores Jansen's current state, takes stock, and reflects on her acquired strength and self-sufficiency.
