Laura Marling - I Speak Because I Can

Laura Marling’s 2008 debut album ‘Alas, I Cannot Swim’ proved to be one of the most endearing critical successes of recent years and earned the young singer-songwriter a Mercury Music Prize nomination. Now a hectic year of activity commences with the March 22nd release of her second album ‘I Speak Because I Can’ on Virgin Records.

Crafted with producer Ethan Johns (Kings of Leon, Ryan Adams, Paolo Nutini, Rufus Wainwright), ‘I Speak Because I Can’ sets quintessentially English lyrical themes and stories to a backdrop of music that recalls prime Americana and the Laurel Canyon scene. Backed by sublime performances by musicians including Mumford & Sons, the album represents a coming-of-age for Laura; her unique identity - thoroughly English, unapologetically female, and a fully-fledged musician – now freshly defined.
