"'It Hurts' is a distinctive blend of folk-pop with a hint of Sheryl Crow and a sprinkle of Laura Marling. "Singer/songwriter Laura Comfort's leanings into folk-pop shows she is a real talent at this." rhythm-and-booze.co.uk
"Laura has struck a refreshing balance between country, folk and pop music in her song It Hurts. As I listened to the guitar strum the tune to accompany her sweet voice, I believe I got a sense of the experience that allowed her to pen the lyrics. While the song is about heartbreak, it somehow managed to lift my spirits. I guess it's her subtle, laidback singing style. As Laura sings her song there's no bitterness, no overreaching screaming notes, only a beautiful haunting melody that comforts the soul. One listen of Laura's music is not enough. She leaves you wanting more. In her chorus she sings '…and that's just how it goes' , you realise and accept that pain is a part of life, and that too will pass. " tigertales
"'It Hurts' is a beautiful emotive love song with intensely personal lyrics, heartfelt emotions and poignant vocals that will touch a chord with every listen. Produced by the legendary Santana producer John Ryan of Chicago Kid Productions, it is set to storm the charts." madhouse family reviews
"It's beautifully open, acoustic & folky, bordering on country, with more than a little hint of Eva Cassidy. Laura has got a great voice for this song, and it'll be making a regular appearance on my playlist, I love listening to something different to what people expect of me. At this time of year, everywhere is full of the same old Christmas classics we hear every year, and whatever dross has been churned out by the X-Factor, Laura Comfort provides a welcome antidote to that, a real singer-songwriter with something new, and genuine content. The musicians are excellent, and there's a lot of talent in that 3 and a half minutes. (Also I love her dress. I would look like a sack of spuds in it, but I love it all the same)" Squeaky Baby
"Singer/songwriter Laura Comfort’s leanings into folk-pop shows she is a real talent at this. Her easy-on-the-ear voice and laidback approach on single ‘Take A Chance” is disarmingly infectious and its clear that she is destined to make a real dent on the burgeoning folk-pop market." Music Week
"Thanks to Laura, It's great to hear something fresh and exciting! She has managed to create her own individual sound blending folk, pop, country and rhythm n blues which is something you don't often find these days. She has a new album due for release on October 26th called The Comfort Zone. I'm really looking forward to hearing more from Laura, I know people are going to appreciate her sound. One of the best things about Laura and her music is that she writes all her own songs giving the listener an opportunity to get to know her. She has had an exciting background and is now ready to apply the cut throat skills she learnt from her business career to conquer the music world! She also has a great look, check out the video for her chart topping hit Take a Chance!" Discollective

"Some people think todays radios are saturated with coverage of solo female artists belting out pop tunes.....to them I would say take a chance with Laura Comfort, with her flair and musical talent, you will be pleasantly surprised. Laura Comfort brings to pop a much needed freshness and charm, with insightful yet catchy vocals, beautiful melodies and acoustic undertones: a much needed re-fresh that our electro-flooded radios need. In her new release, 'The Comfort Zone', Lauras voice resonates through the upbeat tempo of the first track, Take a Chance. The music is fun and easy listening, and yet offers an acoustic resonance and lasting impact that many solo artists strive to, yet fail to, achieve. The entire album has a sultry ambience to it, with thoughtful lyrics complementing the fun and youthful quality that Laura herself exudes." whisperinandhollerin.com
"This singer/songwriter is definitely a breath of fresh air! Her music blends acoustic, pop, folk, electronica and R&B influences resulting in a truely unique sound. Think Dido and Lene Marlin! One of her previous albums, the folk-inspired 'Nature's Child' met praise from Radio 1 & 2 and Kiss FM. Her new album, the brilliant 'The Comfort Zone' is due out September 6th. Give her a listen and I'm sure you won't be disappointed." UKMusic
"The Comfort Zone is a nice compilation of easy listening pop songs, perfect for relaxing. The first track 'Take A Chance' is particularly catchy, and I found myself humming it throughout the day. All tracks nicely complement eachother, with 'Addicted' being the favorite for its lyrics. Laura's voice has some folky undertones. If you like Dido or Lene Marlin (and who doesn't) I'd definitely give her a listen." Cdreviewsbyyou.com
"How do you top meeting Donald Trump and George Soros? You launch a pop career, of course. Well, that's what CNBC presenter Laura Comfort has done.
The Harvard and LSE graduate says she's decided to apply the lessons of the "cut-throat world of business to the equally ruthless world of the entertainment industry".
If she's tackled Trump and Soros, then Simon Cowell, et al, will surely be easy-peasy." The Telegraph
"Just read about Laura Comfort's new album 'The Comfort Zone'... From the sound of the samples on her myspace, it's going to be a great album! It's interesting
