"Our love is like the morning clouds" Mvula catch us, with a kind soul sound, gospel touches and pieces of jazz. Songs like this ones, are songs for being played on a beautiful cloudy morning, the unknown British soul vocalist is the week's recommendation.
The new Amy Winehouse, for some, for me maybe the new Aretha Franklin 2.0 less classic soul, more neo soul. Her career is being raised, from being an acapella girl, influenced by the gospel genre and chorus director to be a main roll on new soul/jazz sounds, become her on a start on the media. You can hear in this girl deep lyrics, fresh and experimental waves plus an incredible voice, and awesomes acoustic arrangements.
In 2008 Laura Mvula, created her own group of music, composing herself new material. She started to write songs on a laptop, as a receptionist sending demos to differents labels. Laura sight with RCA and started to worked on an album. "Sing To The Moon" would be the result of her work, an album that eludes nice vibes, pop balladry, a classy atmosphere and the magic soul ingredient. Mvula's twin muses are love and nature, and she probes their uncertainty and possibilities via theatrical sounds captured on animated music videos, simply brown shapes getting touch with slow moves, the 26-year-old Birmingham trap us with odds ballads like "Father Father" or exciting drums and vocal sound on "That's Alright".
2013 was a success year for Laura, she was nominated for the "Brit Awards Critic's Choice", award that will repeat in 2014 this time on the category “British Female Solo Artist”. Also the album reach the number 9 on the hit wonders UK album charts.
"I'll go wherever you go wherever you take me I'll go" people clapping, dancing, just feeling the sticky bells, champagne suits, white dresses and of course the lovely nature, It's just Laura singing to the moon. Green Garden was the third single of the album, and the song I found this woman, a nature anthem !
