About This Item
A nominee for the 2013 BRITs Critics' Choice Award and included in the coveted BBC Sound of 2013 longlist, this is Laura Mvula's debut album. Described as InchThe voice of 2013Inch by the Evening Standard, the classically trained, singer-songwriter's music fuses orchestral soul with velvety harmonies and emotional vocals giving nods to Nina Simone, George Gershwin and Björk amongst others. A graduate from the Birmingham Conservatoire with a degree in composition, Laura is a unique collison of her Caribbean background and formal music. Laura's debut single InchSheInch, produced by Steve Brown (Rumer) and mixed by Tom Elmhirst (Adele) is a track so lyrically poetic that it took on a life of it's own. Laura started writing songs on her laptop while working as a supply teacher in a Birmingham secondary school. Clash magazine say, InchBeautiful in voice and soul, lift your eyes skyward and watch this girl soarInch. Album Tracks 1. Like the Morning Dew 2. Make Me Lovely 3. Green Garden 4.
