Album Description
With Something’s Coming, Laura Anglade steps into a wider, more cinematic frame.
The New York-based vocalist has long been rooted in the Great American Songbook, but her forthcoming album expands that language into something more theatrical, textured, and emotionally open. Drawing from musical theater, mid-century pop, Brazilian rhythms, and songbook tradition, Something’s Coming moves beyond a conventional straight-ahead vocal jazz framework. Anglade treats each song as part of a broader world: intimate, dramatic, lived-in, and open to interpretation.
The album marks what Anglade describes as “a new era of my artistry,” one shaped by the feeling of being “on the brink of something I can’t quite name yet.” That sense of anticipation runs through the record, from the restless momentum of the title track, drawn from West Side Story, to a spirited "Sunday in New York,” which captures the city’s refusal to ever truly slow down.
Anglade pushes further into her range as a performer. “I find myself taking more risks,” she says. “I am more experimental and can stretch more, testing the limits.” That shift gives Something’s Coming its emotional range: playful, wounded, romantic, searching, and quietly defiant. For nearly a decade, she’s developed the material with pianist and accordionist Ben Rosenblum, who took the lead on the string arrangements. Then came contributions from bassist Marty Jaffe and drummer Ben Zweig.
Musical theater sits at the heart of the project. “I grew up with it,” Anglade says. “I was a theater kid. I was a bit shy, so I never got the lead role. This feels like getting to step into those roles now.” Rather than approaching these songs as fixed standards, she inhabits them as characters, scenes, and emotional landscapes.
The title track captures the album’s central feeling. Anglade remembers humming “Something’s Coming” while sitting in a Brooklyn community garden, unable to shake the melody. Its sense of anticipation became a guiding force for the record, which opens in mixed meter before slipping into a tumbao groove.
Elsewhere, “Just a Little Lovin’” carries the ease of a song shaped over time onstage, while “Something to Remember You By” reframes melancholy through a Brazilian feel, turning loss into movement and coping as a community, especially, dancing away the troubles altogether. On “Some Other Time,” Laura evokes the early morning in her childhood village in France. “Growing up, I lived so many places, I got accustomed to goodbyes,” she says. Transformed by the addition of strings, Laura conjures that bittersweet melancholy. The album’s theatrical core deepens on “Lonely Town,” “Maybe This Time,” and “The Music That Makes Me Dance,” songs that let Anglade move between solitude, longing, humor, and self-recognition.
One of the album’s most exposed moments arrives with “Where Is It Written?” from Yentl. Anglade connects the song to identity, feminism, strength, and self-esteem, leaving in the moment where her voice breaks near the end. The vulnerability becomes part of the performance, and the meaning remains open.
Something’s Coming arrives after a milestone year for Anglade, whose 2025 album Get Out of Town won Vocal Jazz Album of the Year at the 2026 JUNO Awards. She also reached broader audiences with performances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s #LateShowMeMusic and The Kelly Clarkson Show. Rather than treating that momentum as a finish line, this album opens the door to a broader, more theatrical chapter of her artistry.
The album closes with “Sunday in New York,” extending a thread of city-based repertoire that includes “Manhattan” and “April in Paris.”
With Something’s Coming, Laura Anglade releases these songs into that same open air: familiar streets, old memories, new roles, and the charged sense that something is about to begin.
