LAURA MARLING I Speak Because I Can (2010 UK 10-track CD album - Laura'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. 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. Includes the singles 'Goodbye England [Covered In Snow]' & 'Devil's Spoke')
