Lianne La Havas, born Lianne Charlotte Barnes in 1989 and based in London, got her start singing backing vocals for Paloma Faith before she ever stepped out on her own. Warner Bros. signed her in 2010, and she spent a patient 2 years honing her songs before releasing a note, which tells you something about how seriously she takes the craft.
Her debut album, Is Your Love Big Enough?, arrived in 2012, won iTunes' Album of the Year and followed her nomination in the BBC's Sound of 2012 poll. It set out her sound: soul and folk wound tightly together, her voice gliding from a hush to a full-throated cry over nimble guitar. Blood, in 2015, turned up the warmth and the groove with "What You Don't Do" and "Green & Gold", and a Grammy nomination came her way in 2016.
The self-titled third album in 2020 is her most assured yet, a record that sounds lived in, spacious and unhurried, with "Can't Fight" and "Bittersweet" leading the way. She has picked up Brit nominations in 2017 and 2021, and she plays guitar and piano as well as she sings.
