folklaur’s beautiful song “leaves & letters” feels like opening an old journal that is filled with memories you thought you’d forgotten. It’s the title track from her new album, and right from the first few notes, it pulls you into a quiet and emotional space. Her voice is pure with just enough rawness to make every lyric hit home.
The song captures that bittersweet feeling of holding on and letting go at the same time. The writing is beautiful and it’s honest without trying too hard, poetic without losing its warmth. There’s a calm and almost cinematic energy in how the melodies float alongside the soft instrumentation. You can hear how carefully it’s been crafted, but it still feels completely natural, like it was born out of a real moment.
What stands out most is how personal it sounds. The production is clean and gentle, never overpowering her voice or words. It’s the kind of song that makes you stop and just listen, especially if you’ve ever looked back on something or someone you’re not quite ready to forget.
We really loved this one! It’s heartfelt and just beautifully done. The whole album is worth a listen, but the title track is something special. It’s the kind of song that stays with you long after it ends.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Emerging in 2025 from Philadelphia, United States, folklaur blends indie rock, pop, indie pop and singer songwriter into a genre-defying sound.
Hi – I’m Laura Feigin – a singer, songwriter and storyteller based in Philadelphia. I make music under the name folklaur, but everything I write comes from the same place: a love of stories and the moments that make us feel the most human.
I’ve been singing for as long as I can remember, but I did not start writing songs until the pandemic, when I finally had the time and space to learn guitar. As I got more confident with it, melodies started showing up alongside the words – and for the first time. I could hear the songs I’d always been trying to write!
My music blends indie, pop, folk, and singer-songwriter styles- and if you like Taylor Swift, Noah Kahan, Maggie Rogers or Gracie Abrams you might find something you connect with here too! I’m drawn to lyrics that feel honest, even (or especially) when they’re messy. Most of my songs live in the in-between places- the pause between what you said and what you meant, the ache of being known too well or not at all, the slow shift of who you are when no one is watching!
