Artist Spotlight: Laura Marling

This young 19-year old import from Hampshire, England brings a fresh face and talent to the music scene. Her voice is husky, something you wouldn’t expect from the blonde, youthful face. Although her fellow peers including Adele and Duffy are making the big scene with the soul and jazz, Laura provides an alternative melodic tone, especially in Night Terror, similar to Erin McCarley or Jenny Lewis. I always appreciate artists who incorporate other instruments and she uses a great string accompaniment in the song Night Terror.
Laura’s also a former member of Noah and the Whale and has made appearances with The Rakes on the song ‘Suspicious Eyes’ and with Mystery Jets on ‘Young Love’.
