We say
Listening to a huge amount of songs every day can be tiring, but every now and then, a track comes along that takes your breath away. We've been following Laura Mvula since she signed to RCA, but her debut is more than we could have hoped for. She is heart-stoppingly good. Displaying a clear talent for telling a story, the young singer from Birmingham shows exceptional songwriting pedigree for a newcomer setting the mantle sky high. With production from the deft hands of Steve Brown (Rumer) and finishings from world-class mix man Tom Elmhirst (Adele) this could well blow up with an amazing response already at radio and online. In just a few days Laura has had a Zane 'Next Hype' with Fearne Cotton also supporting on Radio 1. John Kennedy on Xfm, Gilles Peterson on 6 Music and Gary Crowley on London 94.9 have all been quick to play this outstanding record.
