The way Laura Jean delivers the vocal within the verse of Don’t Marry the One You Love feels as though the melody is a half-step ahead and tugging slightly by the hand. It’s a beautiful dynamic on a resolutely beautiful track, elevating into an illustrious chorus. There’s deft devastation within that beauty. I won’t spoil it, but the closing line hits like a floral-coated wrecking ball to the chest. Laura Jean’s self-titled album out now.
