Sing to the Moon, released on 1 March 2013, is Laura Mvula's debut album, and it arrives sounding nothing like a first record. The Birmingham singer came up through a cappella groups, jazz and gospel choirs and a classical training, and all of it bleeds into a soul record that thinks like a choir director, layering voice on voice until the songs glow.
"She" and "Green Garden" were the singles. The album landed in the UK top ten, earned a Mercury Prize nomination and helped win her two MOBO Awards. A year later Mvula went to Abbey Road with the Metropole Orkest and re-recorded the whole thing with an orchestra, which tells you how big she heard these songs all along. The Dreaming Room followed.
