On “Trouble Blues,” LaBek delivers a performance that feels at once timeless and deeply personal. Her rich, warm voice carries an intensity rare in today’s blues scene, moving fluidly between shades of melancholy and moments of light.

Rooted firmly in tradition yet unmistakably her own, LaBek’s approach recalls the great jazz and blues vocalists of the past while offering an intimate touch that sets her apart.

Without excess production, each element is given space to breathe, creating an atmosphere that feels both immediate and enduring.
“Trouble Blues” isn’t just a performance; it’s an invitation into a moment of vulnerability, where heritage and heart converge. By blending classic influences with her own honest expression, LaBek shows she’s not merely echoing the blues tradition but extending it, crafting music that resonates with authenticity and leaves a lasting impression on those who listen.
