Brooklyn based artist Janet LaBelle recently released two new videos for her B-side “You Don’t Get It (So Forget It)” and new song “I Only See You.” With an affinity for the west coast, LaBelle chose to shoot her videos live on the hills of L.A.’s Griffith Park. Although diverging in style from her previously released videos shot with her full band, the simplicity of hearing LaBelle with her instrument demonstrates the effect of her songwriting. With tinges of Roy Orbison and Patsy Cline, the songs touch on that classic sound and remind us of what it’s like to fall in love again.
LaBelle, who has been working on her music between two coasts over the past few years, highly values the classic analog sound and the discipline of recording in that medium. Her latest album, Blossom & Blue EP (2011), was recorded entirely live to analog tape.
