Lianne La Havas, who is currently touring North America with music from her new album, Blood, recently stopped by the NPR studios in Washington, DC, to perform a Tiny Desk Concert for NPR Music. The intimate set included two songs from the new album—"What You Don't Do" and "Unstoppable"—as well as the song "Forget" from her debut album, Is Your Love Big Enough?. You can watch it below.
"One play and I was hooked; I've been a fan ever since," says NPR's Suraya Mohamed of her first encounter with La Havas's music. "Her music works for any activity, any emotion ... Her music touched my heart in a way I'd never experienced before. I cried through the entire performance. Her music was that powerful, with lyrics woven together with beautiful harmonies; it pulled emotions out of me I didn't even know existed. La Havas is soulful yet playful, raw and vulnerable in a commanding kind of way, and her new second album, Blood, is as amazing as the first."
Mohamed concludes: "If you're like me, you will never get enough."
