Laras unique
blend of explosive vocals coupled with softer jazzy undertones and smooth
Ballad lingering has branded her a cross between a female James Brown,
Erykah Badu and Jill Scott/ Whitney Houston. Not surprising her influences
is everyone from gospel singer Mahalia Jackson to Tina Turner, Diana Ross,
Aretha Franklin. Lyn Collins, Ella Fitzgerald, James Brown and Fela Kuti!!
On a recent interview on THE BBC, with ENO ERUOTOR, Lara was likened to
a cross between Anita Baker & Alisha Keys, Laras got everyone stumped,
you just cant put her in a box!!
