Here is the promotional copy about Lianne La Havas from her label, which is Nonesuch:
Lianne La Havas has emerged as one of the UK’s most buzzed-about new talents, with critically acclaimed EPs, sold-out shows worldwide and nods from the likes of Bon Iver and Ryan Adams. Her debut album, Is Your Love Big Enough?, produced by Matt Hales (Aqualung), “is not just one of the year’s best debuts,” says the AP, “but one of the year’s best albums.” Says the BBC: “It’s always been clear that La Havas has a special voice, and so it proves here.

La Havas will go on an international tour beginning next month. She’ll return to the U.S. in mid March.
