Naomi LaViolette (2012 Album)

Full-length debut record
In this sometimes jazzy, at times cinematic, acoustic but occasionally electronic collection of songs, Naomi introduces herself as a songwriter. Her eclectic influences weave themselves throughout heart-driven songs inspired by love, family, heartbreak, nature and spirituality. Naomi’s voice and her touch at a grand piano on every track provide unifying presence. The album includes full strings sections, Hammond B3 organ, acoustic and electric guitars, upright bass, and layered vocals. Album Booklet

You’ve Got Me (2013 EP)

EP - Extended Play
Following the release of her first record at Jimmy Mak’s jazz club in Portland, Oregon, Naomi continues to stretch her wings in jazz-inspired grooves with the You’ve Got Me EP. She includes the funky sounds of the Wurlitzer, Hammond B3 organ and Rhodes piano with classic grand piano, brass instruments and imaginative electric guitar tracks. Simply put, this EP is full of groove, and charmingly retro. A brown-eyed girl playing blue-eyed soul.

WRITTEN FOR YOU (2017 ALBUM)

Full-length record featuring Song Gifts
In Written for You, Naomi veers in a slightly different direction than her previous albums. Her vocals are as smooth and rich as ever, and sonically the album is as steeped in classical music and jazz as it is in folk and pop, but the wrinkle here is in the nature of the content, and that wrinkle is the gift. Instead of mining the depths of her life experiences, the content comes from songs she was commissioned to write for others, and songs she gave as gifts to loved ones. The album touches on subjects ranging from the power of love and dreams to the beauty of creation, but while there is a theme of seeking and finding the beauty in the present, some of the album’s strongest moments occur on tracks which contemplate mortality and the eternal. Whether it’s a song written as a celebration of life for a dearly departed relative, or an attempt to offer God genuinely unique praise, as on the album’s title track, the gift in it all is found in LaViolette’s ability to offer something moving, something profound to someone else.
