Music Review for Anda Lauren’s ‘Side Effects’

When the subject of Winnipeg is raised outside of the province of Manitoba, a few dark, recurrent themes tend to be discussed. Mosquitoes, the bitter cold winters, the city’s propensity for violent crime and institutional racism. The lack of a truly competitive professional hockey team.

But when it comes to RnB or Pop music, a bright light emerges from the dark ‘Heart of the Continent.’ Let’s talk about Anda Lauren and ‘Side Effects’ – check out the track below:

‘Side Effects’ is currently in full rotation on Atlanta’s Kiss 104.7 FM

“Take me away / Take control of me”

What is immediately striking is the emotional power of Anda’s voice, which, combining with her excellent songwriting and exquisite production, makes for captivating listening.

Overall, this is an absolute artistic jewel of a track from start to finish. The quality of the songwriting, both musically and, particularly, lyrically is of the highest calibre and you can tell the whole album has been a labor of love.

It is reminiscent of the classics in the way its lays its heart on its sleeve, and is all the more rewarding for the listener because of it. In an era where the album is quickly becoming a forgotten art form, here is a perfect example of the artistic heights it can achieve.
