Lianne La Havas released the video for her single "Paper Thin," from her upcoming self-titled album, due July 17. She made the video herself while social-distancing at home in London. You can watch it here. "'Paper Thin,’ for me, is the song that started this whole thing going. It started as a distant melody in my head as I was falling asleep that I decided not to sleep on,” La Havas explains. “It was recorded as jam between friends and has stayed that way.”

Lianne La Havas spoke with Genius' Verified series about "Bittersweet," the first single off her forthcoming self-titled album, due July 17 on Nonesuch Records. You can watch it here. "In the context of the whole album," she says, "it's kind of the overview of reconnecting with yourself and realizing that you may have to change something dramatically in your life to make yourself happier and to get more fulfillment from your life. It's basically about realizing that something needs to change, and then taking the steps to do so."

British singer/songwriter/guitarist Lianne La Havas releases Lianne La Havas, her first album since 2015’s Blood, July 17 on Nonesuch in the US.

Lianne La Havas was on PBS's Tavis Smiley show this week, discussing the inspiration behind her album Blood and EP Blood Solo, and performing "Green & Gold." "Blood is relating to my heritage and my family and it was something that I began to think more deeply about over the course of the last couple of years," she says. "And I found that my songwriting was beginning to explore more my family, and actually why I am like I am and where it all comes from." Hear what she has to say and watch the performance here.

Lianne La Havas spoke with PBS NewsHour about her Jamaican and Greek roots and the visit to her mother's family in Jamaica that inspired her album Blood . "It was really moving, emotional for lots of reasons, just because my family are from there, but I had never seen it before," she tells NewsHour. "And it was nice to go there and feel connected to a place. That was a feeling I never felt before." You can watch the piece, which also includes live performance clips, here.
