Album Notes & Community Reviews

Laura Nyro's third album is an intensely passionate, deeply urban masterpiece of soul-inflected pop. 'New York Tendaberry' weaves incredibly complex, remarkably lush piano-rock arrangements through a wonderfully manic, highly introspective, and beautifully nocturnal vocal performance.
