Lianne La Havas: New Peak at CMJ

Let’s face it, we really are ecstatic about Lianne right now. She’s currently touring on her lovely debut Is Your Love Big Enough, with several European dates in October and American dates with John Legend in November. The New York Times sang her praises in their Playlist column, commenting on her “innate sense of confidence that makes even her bitter songs somehow reassuring”. Read the blurb here. The Telegraph‘s write up on her discusses how the record has “more than enough grit here to make a pearl”, read the article here. Now she finds herself on the cusp of the top 50 at CMJ, moving up to #51. Recommend this new artist to one of your DJs this week.
