“Distance never seperates two hearts that really care,
for our memories span the miles and in seconds we are there.
But whenever I start feeling sad cuz I miss you,

Laura Marling to release not one, but two albums in 2010
British indie folk singer deserved an honorable mention on our Albums Of The Decade post for her debut Alas I Cannot Swim. Now she is back with a new album slated for a March release titled I Speak Because I Can. The first single from this 10-track album is “Devil’s Spoke.” That is only half the news. Laura Marling is also planning on releasing another album by the end of 2010. She working on it as of now with producer Ethan Jones. The albums will have an air of “Englishness” and, of course, the trademark emotional folk strumming of Laura Marling. This sounds promising!
