Pretend 367 Posted July 24, 2015 English singer/songwriter/guitarist Lianne La Havas's album Blood was inspired by her Jamaican and Greek family heritage. Lyrically, the songs she wrote are almost all related to "the feeling of who you are and where you come from," she says. Musically, she took inspiration from Jamaica's love of grooves, rhythms, and syncopation. Dancehall/reggae producer Stephen McGregor joined in the making of Blood, as did a rich collection of others. Rolling Stone raves: "The album demands, and rewards, all the attention you can give it." 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BADLANDS 14 Posted July 24, 2015 I love Lianne's music! I found her back when Is Your Love Big Enough? was a free song on iTunes in the US and I'm so excited for Blood to come out! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kerrigan 612 Posted June 24, 2018 Big ol' bump. My friend played me this last night, and it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. She's definitely an artist whose sole interest is the music, and it translates nicely to the ears "Midnight" is another winner I love her so bad. Are you all familiar with her work? I think she'd be quite popular with the lot of you 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
