Spotlight - Lianne La Havas

You've probably heard of my current sweet heart Lianne La Havas. You haven't? Well then heres a nice Friday discovery.

     

 And thats how i was introduced to Lianne. The beautiful 23 year old songstress with equally beautiful music hails from South London, and is a folk and soul singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. She started singing at an early age, writing her first song at 11, and learning to play the guitar at 18. 

 After listening to the punchy Forget, I went in search from more from Miss Havas, and discovered that most of her songs range from breezy to melancholic mellower fare, all with an enchanting and appealing raw quality. 

Lost & Found

In late 2011, Lianne released her first EP Lost & Found, and made her TV debut on Later… with Jools Holland. With praise and buzz around her growing steadily she dropped her debut album in 2012, "Is Your Love Big Enough?". The impressive album has also earned Lianne a nomination for the 2012 Barclaycard Mercury Prize.

 Loving the cute video for album cut, Age.

     

 Do cop her album over at itunes. You can sample it at her soundcloud.
