Lianne La Havas is a London-born British folk and soul singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Her career began after being introduced to various musicians and singer Paloma Faith, for whom she sang backing vocals. In 2010, La Havas signed to Warner Bros. Records, spending two years developing her songwriting skills before releasing any music publicly. La Havas’ debut album, Is Your Love Big Enough? (2012), was released to positive reviews from critics and earned her a nomination for the BBC’s Sound of 2012 poll and awards for the iTunes Album of The Year 2012.

After touring was completed for her first album, La Havas and her mother travelled to Jamaica. During the trip, La Havas was inspired to write new material, which would eventually become part of her second album. She gave a live performance for her family with producer, Stephen McGregor, who would later co-produce her forthcoming album. Many of the songs were inspired by La Havas’ reconnection to her Greek and Jamaican heritage.

The first single, “Unstoppable“, from this album, Blood, premiered for streaming on 1 April 2015. The single, which was co-written with Paul Epworth, will be officially released in the UK on 1 June 2015. Its music video premiered on 12 May 2015 on La Havas’ official YouTube channel. Blood will be released on 31 July 2015 for physical and digital formats. La Havas will embark on a tour in the UK and Europe in support of album from mid-May to September 2015. La Havas features twice on Rudimental’s upcoming album, We the Generation (2015), on the songs “Needn’t Speak” and “Breath”.
