lianne la havas - music marvel

Hello beauties! I wanted to wait until after I purchased/received Lianne's album to write a review/confess my love for the lady. She has an incredibly soulful voice which is generally the main focus of her music with a catchy beat to accompany her, giving her music a raw, hip-hop style to an extent. Her song-writing abilities are second to none, sophisticated semantics give her lyrics a classic, 'vintage' air to the song which is incredibly unlike more mainstream music you're currently likely to come across.
Her vocal range is brilliant and she's wise in how to show it off. She doesn't try to fit too many notes into one section, she carefully distributes her range throughout the entire piece making it very easy to listen too.
Not only are her music abilities top class, she looks amazing. Often wearing an up-do for her inherited curly locks, she pairs subtle make up with classy dresses that accentuates all of her best features.

Listen to her music most recent single here (reminds me a LOT of Sugartown - Nancy Sinatra through the verses, no?).
I hope so much that you guys take notice, give her some support and love her as much as I do, her album has been at the top of my Christmas list for a long time!

Keep your eyes peeled! Had another bit of a make-up/skincare haul today (very naughty of me considering I should be saving..). Find out about my beauty bargain here in the next couple of days!

I've been a huge fan of JT for quite some time now, but I recently put his Future Sex Love Sound album back on to my iPod and it is potentially the best thing I have ever done. I just had to do a post to see if anyone else feels the same as me, or am I stuck in the noughties?!
His music gets me in such a party mood, and compared to todays RnB is so much better. He just sounds so innocent.
As well as his music, his performance in Friends with Benefits it's my absolute fave! He literally makes the film for me.


So, is it just me or are you guys infatuated by the wonderful JT too? Do you feel the same about anyone else?

Firstly, I'm so sorry I've not been here in a very long time! It's been a very busy week with work and birthdays etc, so my blog had to take a back seat I'm afraid.

Lately, I've not listened to anything but the wonderful Regina Spektor! I'm aware she's been on the music scene for a number of years now with some of her bigger hits, such as 'Fidelity' and 'Samson', being released in 2006. She recently brought out her sixth album 'What we Saw from the Cheap Seats' which includes latest single 'Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)'.

Her voice is gorgeous, soft, with a beautiful tone. She slightly reminds me of Sia with the slightly breathy sound and 'different' pronunciation in some songs.

I definitely feel as though the indie-chick flick '500 Days of Summer' played a large part in her success. It features one of her most famous songs 'Us' and slightly lesser known 'Hero' (which is definitely a personal favourite of mine!). You can find a tracklist for the movie here.

I'm very much looking forward to getting her albums and looking around the internet for anymore hidden wonders!
