Streaming on NPR: www.npr.org/2015/07/22/424726800/first-listen-lianne-la-havas-bloodI saw her live at the Troubadour a couple weeks ago and she was simply electric! The new material is definitely more expansive and bombastic (at least live) compared to the acoustic edge of her debut but it's a pleasant and effective contrast. I have not heard the album yet but I suspect that she's going to be called out for "selling out" a bit based on the new material. However, I think the expansive approach she took to her sound this time is a natural extension of her artistry and I hope it works in accelerating her star.

The album is great.
Wonderful and Tokyo are my two standouts.

I knew literally NOTHING about this woman but I used some of my Amazon Gift Card birthday coin to purchase this album after doing a brief driveby of clips. Sounds very nice. Looking forward to listening in full.

I'm liking this. She reminds me a little of Corinne Bailey Rae.

It's not as upbeat as her debut was, but still a strong effort. Love it!

I am not exactly thrilled by this album, unfortunately, but...it was free so I can't really complain. It might be a grower though.

Debuts #52 on Billboard 200 What was the total numbers? She sold 7,598 per HITS so I'm guessing the final total was around 8k.

I definitely don't want it to win that Grammy but it's a nice little album, for sure.
