Introducing… Lianne La Havas

Watch out for the new beats of 2012. Lianne La Havas is a great new talent that sounds and feels like a merger between Corinne Bailey Rae and Norah Jones without the pretense. Her sound is raw and sombre. She takes bluesy folk into a contemporary dimension, very much in the Ane Brun sense. She is a child of the Instagram generation. The young (only 21) damsel has just signed to major label Warner Music and she will be making waves next year, although she has garnered quite a following on Twitter and Facebook. More to come from this lovely newcomer.

Video Premiere: “Sugar Mama” by Keren Ann

The dark treatment of the “My Name Is Trouble” is countered with this all-white video for the second single from Keren Ann’s album 101. “Sugar Mama” is one of the stronger tracks on the disc. Although we would have opted for “All The Beautiful Girls,” we are keeping our hopes high for a third single release.
