Laura Mvula 'Sing To The Moon'
A classically trained student of composition, Laura Mvula and her seductive voice are not the only stars on her debut album Sing To The Moon, as her lush arrangements find her layering vocals on top of bells, hand-claps, and even more of her own vocals to create a work that manages to be both rhythmically complex and soothing at the same time. Composing an album that incorporates jazz, pop, and soul influences while staying refreshingly innovative is no easy task, but Mvula handles both feats with deft and grace.
