Lianne La Havas

La Havas has been on the edges of musical hype for the past year. Previously a backing singer for Paloma Faith, she is now establishing herself as a solo artist. In April she was the opening act for the Bombay Bicycle Club tour, before commencing her ‘Lost & Found’ tour in May. She is an artist to watch and her album Is Your Love Big Enough?, is released on the 9th of July. This will ensure a new and bigger fanbase for La Havas whose talent has already secured her a place in the 2012 music scene. Listen to the latest single ‘Forget’ to hear her edgy and modern sound, and ‘No Room for Doubt’ to hear her subtle charming quality. I have no doubt that her popularity will not only soar but she will be a steady fixture on playlists throughout the summer. Catch her playing at Wilderness festival in Oxford and Bestival in September.
