In her 23rd year on this earthly plane, Lianne La Havas achieved what most aspiring musicians will only ever experience in dreams: toured with this year’s shooting star from the indie scene (Bon Iver), made a Top 10 record (Is Your Love Big Enough?) and met an enigmatic pop idol (Prince).


Lianne La Havas

In her 23rd year on this earthly plane, Lianne La Havas achieved what most aspiring musicians will only ever experience in dreams: toured with this year’s shooting star from the indie scene (Bon Iver), made a Top 10 record (Is Your Love Big Enough?) and met an enigmatic pop idol (Prince).

The British singer-songwriter finds a fresh spin on soul, fed through her guitar and stammering rhythms, with detours into bleak balladry. Ahead of her show at le Belmont tonight, discover her range in this series of videos, beginning with the two performance films that helped facilitate her ascent.
