The British artist, Laura Mvula first came to our attention with her 2013 debut release, "Sing to the Moon", a well received collection of neo-soul that merged smooth jazz, gospel and orchestral pop to create her singular sound. Three years later with her follow-up, "The Dreaming Room" Mvula shifted her musical direction, featuring soulful songs that were more lyrically abstract and political while utilizing rhythms that touched on her Caribbean background.
Now with her third album, "Pink Noise", Mvula has once again traveled down a new musical path. Inspired by the pop songs of her youth, the thirty-five year old artist has made an enjoyable album that features the influences of late '80's synth-pop and r&b of the early '90's. It's a great collection that has a retro vibe yet feels fresh and modern.
