Description
In one sense, geographically: La Havas spent a lot of time moving back and forth between the UK and the States working on writing and exploring her own identity. As a result,Lianne La Havasfeels spacious and luminous. Its sunbaked sounds recall, in places, the Brazilian singer, songwriter, and guitarist Milton Nascimento (onSeven Times). You might also hear the curveball chords of Joni Mitchell and Jaco Pastoriouss jazz explorations (Green Papaya), or the puttering drums and inviting warmth of golden-era Al Green (Read My Mind). And throughout the record, theres a sense of empowerment that has its roots in the crisp 90s R&B of Destinys Child.
The confidence that La Havas has cultivated, both personally and creatively, is audible in the fact thatLianne La Havasis a record that feels utterly reala living, breathing thing. It hasnt been polished to a squeak in favor of a clean recording; La Havas followed her gut on this album, going with what feels good. Beauty never really goes by the book, andLianne La Havasis a breathtaking example of this.Lianne La Havasan exquisite, rich, and tender expression of love, loss, and rebirth that marks a new era for the British artist.
