Just when you thought you have heard all there is to jazz, Elaine Lam breezes in like a breath of fresh air, pure and wholesome.
Elaine projects the picture of that sunny girl-next-door, yet exudes the sensual sentiments of a pensive soul. Featuring an EP of her original compositions, this selection of light numbers speaks of the little snippets that can be found within our everyday lives. With her velvety voice, Elaine’s melodies blush of blossoming love, comfort troubled hearts, and even bring one back to a memorable childhood (as she has done so in a playful ditty inspired by her son).
For this singer-songwriter, what started out as something fun during younger years became a lasting love when she decided to pursue her passion for jazz music. Elaine admits to being a down-to-earth girl who enjoys the little pleasures in life, such as
discovering new gastronomical haunts and travelling. This persona is evident in her choice of muses for her songs, beautifully delicate and unpretentiously real.
