Laura Cahen is a French singer-songwriter. Inspired by the likes of Laurie Anderson, Laura Marling or Adrianne Lenker, her music fuses acoustic and electronic to create emotionally rich, self-reflective sonic landscapes. In the form of poetic love songs, she tackles subjects such as womanhood, ecology, homosexuality and equal rights. Her crystalline voice has gathered the praises of outlets as diverse as Télérama, Les Inrocks and L’Humanité, and she has gained the support of national radios France Inter and FIP, who regularly broadcast her music.
Ten years into her career Cahen has toured extensively in France and parts of Europe and America, with over three hundred concerts. Her latest release Des Filles featured guest artists including Juliette Armanet, Jeanne Added and Yael Naim. Three songs from her second album Une Fille (« Poussière », « Nuit Forêt » and « La complainte du soleil ») featured in major TV shows and films, including You (Netflix), Tales of the Walking Dead (AMC) and Oscar-nominated I Lost My Body.
Cahen’s third studio album, co-produced together with Mike Lindsay (Tunng, LUMP) and Josephine Stephenson (Ex:Re, Damon Alban, Arctic Monkeys) will come out on PIAS recordings in early 2025, with the first single « Quitter la ville » already playlisted on major radios and streaming platforms. She will be back on the road with multi-instrumentalist and composer Josephine Stephenson, in a light and stripped-down duo formation, to kick off the album release in 2025.
