Whoa! What a voice! This young & multi-talented chanteuse is making waves with her laid-back, sweet soulfulness and bridled power which are instantly felt - The world awaits her full CD which promises to be a classic from what I've been reading. Being from the islands, I had to find out if this London-based artist had Caribbean roots like so many other artists in the UK, and lo & behold, she does! According to The Guardian, Lianne La Havas was born and raised in South London to a Greek father and a Jamaican mother. Her mother exposed her early to the music of Eryka Badu, Jill Scott, India Arie & Nina Simone, but it was Lauryn Hill who had the biggest impact..& it is quite evident in her sound! Check her out in these videos.....
This is the original with Willy Mason......
Bangin' remix of Lost & Found...
(She did a better job than Rihanna on this cut)
Great interview! Her humble spirit is charmingly refreshing....
OneLove
