Laura Anglade, the Franco-American jazz vocalist recognized for her warm tone and timeless style, has just reached a landmark milestone: one million followers on Instagram. The singer celebrated the achievement with a heartfelt post, confirming that her debut album, Get Out of Town, will arrive this Friday at midnight.
Social Milestone
On May 20, Anglade shared a carousel of images on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ7g7iGuO8F/), pairing two striking photographs with the caption, “One million of you. Wow. 🫣 Thank you so much. My album comes out on Friday at midnight, I can’t wait for you to hear the rest. 🥹💙” In the first image, she poses against a windswept backdrop, her hair flowing as she laughs into the camera. The second shows her in a tailored white suit, holding a blue-patterned instrument case that hints at her musical journey. Fans responded with congratulatory comments, flooding the post with heart emojis and sharing personal anecdotes about discovering her music. Over the past year, Anglade’s follower count grew by more than 300,000, reflecting her rising profile in both traditional jazz circles and online communities. Her engagement rate consistently outpaces peers, with average likes and comments exceeding 8% per post.
Album Teaser
Get Out of Town is Anglade’s first full-length project, blending classic jazz standards with original compositions. In a previous Instagram preview (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJcocnBR4YM/), she invited listeners to presave the album, writing, “My new album, ‘Get Out of Town,’ comes out in two weeks. If you’ve enjoyed the music so far, please consider presaving the album to your virtual libraries. I can’t wait for you to hear the rest!” The ten-track record includes originals like “Blue Hour” alongside renditions of standards such as “Autumn Leaves” and “My Foolish Heart,” showcasing her range. Produced by veteran engineer Michael Thompson, the album features a quintet including Ben Paterson on piano, Peter Bernstein on guitar, Neal Miner on bass, Neil Swainson on double bass, and Adam Arruda on drums. Recorded at Suncoast Studios in Florida, Get Out of Town strikes a balance between the intimacy of a live club setting and the clarity of a studio recording.
Artist Background
Born in Paris and raised between France and the United States, Anglade studied jazz performance at Berklee College of Music. She honed her craft through classical piano training as a child and won a regional vocal competition in New Orleans before focusing exclusively on jazz under mentors like Alan Dawson. Early in her career, she released a self-titled EP in 2021 and toured regional jazz festivals across Europe. Critics have praised her for evoking the elegance of 1950s vocalists while delivering a contemporary sensibility. On social media, she shares behind-the-scenes footage from recording sessions and snapshots of her day-to-day life, building a personal connection that resonates with her audience.
Global Reach
Anglade’s fanbase extends far beyond North America. In a Spanish-language Instagram announcement for her first Mexico City show (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJmJGzetXO2/), she wrote:

On TikTok and Twitter, users have posted covers of her single, praising the interplay between her voice and Bernstein’s guitar lines. Anglade has cited inspirations ranging from Carmen McRae to Nancy Wilson, and fans have noted the balance she strikes between reverence for the jazz canon and her own contemporary flair. Early reviews from Jazz Journal laud her “soulful phrasing” and “vintage-modern fusion,” setting high expectations for the full release.
As the clock ticks toward Friday midnight, Anglade’s one million Instagram followers are poised to stream Get Out of Town, marking a new chapter in her blossoming career. With glowing reviews already streaming in from early press listeners, this release could be the moment that cements her status as a modern jazz sensation.
