*Tips for 2012* #1 Lianne La Havas


Lianne La Havas first caught my eye/ear way back in April supporting the charismatic Marques Toliver. Review here.
She has since gone on to appear on Jools Holland, where she made quite an impression on Bon Iver who decided to take her on tour in the US and Canada.

Lianne has a very soulful smoky voice and a delightful rhythmic way with her electric guitar, which I believe is named 'Connie'. Her first UK tour sold out and even had venues upgraded to accomodate the demand for tickets. She has four dates at The Social in London throughout January leading into February which have all sold out already, but you still have a chance to catch her at The Borderline, London where she'll be playing as part of HMV's Next Big Thing.

Her debut ep 'Lost & Found' was released in November and an album looks set to follow early in 2012.
You can also get a free live ep on her website! www.liannelahavas.com
