Lianne La Havas
The neo-soul singer-songwriter brings her out of this world vocals to the Other Stage.
Singer-songwriter Lianne La Havas will play a very special, one-off solo show at the Roundhouse this summer, broadcasted live from the space, and will include new songs from her forthcoming self-titled album. This multi camera, one-off intimate performance will give fans an up-close experience from the comforts of their own space. As well as new material, Lianne will also perform firm favourites from her first two records, 2012’s Is Your Love Big Enough? and 2015’s Blood.
The film brings the paintings of Vincent van Gogh to life to tell his remarkable story. Every one of the 65,000 frames of the film is an oil-painting hand-painted by 125 professional oil-painters who travelled from all across the world to the Loving Vincent studios in Poland and Greece to be a part of the production. As remarkable as Vincent’s brilliant paintings are his passionate and ill-fated life and mysterious death.
The last two decades have seen a striking decline in the quality of sound and listening experience. Compressed music, MP3s and streaming, have diminished the quality and flattened the emotion. Marketing gimmicks and convenience now take the place of excellence. The Distortion of Sound is an eye-opening exposé of the current state of sound starring Linkin Park, Slash, Quincy Jones and more. This documentary will open your ears and inspire you to reach for richer, more soul-stirring musical experiences.
Lianne La Havas stormed on to the scene last year with a Sound of 2012 nomination and a Mercury prize shout for debut album Is Your Love Big Enough? Part of a new vanguard of female singer-songwriters alongside Jessie Ware and Laura Mvula, a touch of funk and an edge of sass belong to her tracks, with Forget an acerbic love song and Age a witty comment on the dating scene. With Prince and Stevie Wonder united in their acclaim, her Glastonbury debut stands as proof that she is one to watch.
