notes
"Wood has an earthy, deep voice capable of soaking subtext into just about every syllable she utters. Her moving delivery, coupled with a spare but infectious arrangement, demands the ear of triple-A, AC and even mainstream rock enthusiasts."
-Larry Flick, Billboard Magazine
"What will strike you most about Wood's music is her sultry, sexy voice, but if you get past that, you will find subtly crafted tunes of immense sophistication and insight."
-John Schoenberg, The Album Network (totally adult)
"Lauren has a special knack for mixing arresting lyrics with haunting melody's to capture special moments in time that relate not only to her but to everyone. The CD deserves to be played next to the ERIC CLAPTON'S and SHAWN COLVIN'S of the world. It's melody and sounds, the fun, the various flavors, the hints of influences especially a certain Liverpool group from the 60's. I really like this album."
-Bob Blackburn, Westwood One Radio Networks
"She is an impressive artist and clearly one of the more creative people on the scene today."
-Michael McVay, McVay Media
"The lady knows what she's doing and her eponymous release is almost a full hour of proof. Beautiful pop, smart, sophisticated and highly recommended."
-Neil Fagen, The Performing Songwriter
"One of the most impressive mainstream pop arrivals in some time. Wood displayed the convincing emotion that distinguishes superior artists from the razzle-dazzle effects that so often hamper mainstream pop figures."
-Robert Hillburn, Los Angeles Times
"Her exquisite natural sense of mood and timing are a focal point."
-Cynthia Kirk, The Hollywood Reporter
"Lauren's performance was exceptional. Her voice was husky and distinctive. Her songs have infectious melodies and nothing short of a lobotomy will make you forget them."
-Valerie Geller, Record Boy
"Lauren has an undeniably unique, sultry voice that has captivated a loyal following worldwide...from intimate and vulnerable...to a hint of the Beatles and a touch of humor.
....If only she would call more often."
-Lauren's mother, Dinner Table With Relatives

fallen
author: ellenone of the best female singers that I have heard in a very very long time......along with celie dion, lauren wood is the best
stands the test of time
author: fallenfan90This self-titled album by artist Lauren Wood is an exciting blend of lush melodies and engaging instrumentation. It's not often that a musician comes along with a voice as rich and spellbinding as Lauren's, and ever rarer that said artist creates an album so wholly innovative and shockingly comfortable and familiar at the same time. Lauren's music instantly draws you in and leaves you wanting more more more. This CD is one that everyone should own. "Fallen" (well known from the Pretty Woman soundtrack) is a bonus song, but there are 12 other fantastic reasons to have this album! So get it now!
Really lovely sultry voice and sang with pure heartbreaking emotion.
author: DaranI bought the cd for the track Fallen and must say I am glad I bought it as the other tracks are just as good. she has a lovely husky voice that is dripping with appeal.
Lauren's trademark melodies soar above delicious arrangements
author: Bill MeltonYou've been looking for this CD for ages. Yes, decades, in fact. It's that obscure album of melodic, combo pop, with some courageously personal lyrics, and a finely tuned sense of whimsy sprinkled throughout, that was recorded in what, about '71? No, wait...This is that Lauren Wood album that lovingly re-creates the era as though she and her expert band had been cryogenically frozen until 1999. Lauren is in fine voice, and that says volumes--there is no finer vocalist in pop music. She can float it like a silk scarf on a Summer breeze, or cut right to the heart, whichever is right for the lyric. And those trademark melodies keep comin' back in any quiet moment, long after you've put your headphones aside. This is a must-have recording for anyone who misses the latter-day Apple sound. Delicious. And she even tacked on the original recording of 'Fallen' which you'll remember as the highlight of the Pretty Woman soundtrack.
