Tumour por Evelyn Lau

Evelyn Lau has a way of speaking directly to my soul, at once understanding it and taking it by surprise with the clarity of her revelations.

You Are Not Who You Claim por Evelyn Lau

Evelyn Lau perfectly captures the Vancouver that exists for those struggling the most in that beautiful, suffocating, grey city. The way she crafts each verse is so elegant and authentic, gritty and dreamy at the same time, just like Vancouver. She always knows how to speak directly to my soul. As I see her, I feel her seeing me.
