There comes a time in everyone’s life when it’s appropriate to tell an embarrassing story about yourself. For me, that time is now.
When I was working at Billboard Music, the closest I ever came to attacking a musician was when we interviewed John Legend. It took every bone and every ounce of strength in my body to keep myself together. From the outside, I probably looked like a vibrating crazy person, because on the inside I believed I proposed to him 600 times. Alas, I’m still not married to John Legend, so I’ll have to find another human whose voice sounds like butter.
Anyway, my point is that I believe I have found the female John Legend. So all you gentlemen out there who are seduced by voices that sound like ice cream on a hot summer day, I present to you Lianne La Havas.
I’ve been following her ever since she opened for Bon Iver during a short segment of his tour this year. She completely blew me away with her EP, Lost & Found. So, when “Is Your Love Big Enough?” was released in July, I knew it would only be a matter of time before I would be telling everyone I’ve ever met and the entire Nerdist community about it.
This is flippen fantastic! Thanks for clueing us in…
This is amazing! Thanks so much for telling us about her, I know I’ll be following Lianne from now on.
Yes! Yes, yes, yes. She is excellent.
Pretty sure that this was an iTunes freebee a few weeks ago. Not exactly completely under the radar. That said, not a bad track. Enjoyable. word.
Ah, yes, Bon Iver, which is a French name which means, uh, Good Iver (If I’m not mistaken).
