Lianne La Havas new self titled album is her third and her first in five years. It is an album of startling beauty and insight, made entirely on her own terms which has been quite a journey. In one sense, geographically, La Havas spent a lot of time moving back and forth between the UK and the States, working on writing and exploring her own identity. The resulting album , Lianne La Havas, feels spacious and luminous, with It's sunbaked sounds recalling, in places, the Brazilian singer, songwriter, and guitarist Milton Nascimento (on track 'Seven Times'). You might also hear the curveball chords of Joni Mitchell and Jaco Pastorious’s jazz explorations ('Green Papaya'), or the puttering drums and inviting warmth of golden era Al Green ('Read My Mind'). Throughout the record, there’s a sense of empowerment that has its roots in the crisp ‘90s R&B of Destiny’s Child.
