I've seen her live twice and I am an unabashed fangirl. Can't wait till she tours again. Oh my! The second time I saw her, I made sure I was right down the front. At one point in the gig, the rest of the band went off stage and left us alone with just Lianne and her guitar. The sound of her voice was soooo exquisite, I was hanging on her every note. At one point in the song, she paused for effect and you could have quite literally heard a pin drop in the O2 Academy. It was a bit freaky, to be honest. I actually glanced behind me to see if everyone was still there. They were. It's just they were all mesmerised. I've never, ever heard complete silence like that at a gig. There are always numpties who whistle and shout 'We love you' and other random crap. Not one single person broke the silence. I'll never ever forget that moment as long as I live. Her voice could stop wars, I'm sure.
Lianne is a musical genius, plays the guitar, composes incredible songs has the voice of .... Lianne La Havas, it is imcomparable ... incredible she was likely born in the wrong era but then again the wrong era may not have let us see her.
I wish Ms. LaHava was MY wife but for much longer than a moment. As it is I will enjoy her completely entrancing singing and have to be satisfied with that: An old man’s pitiful daydreams after all but the music is SO good. That will have to be enough and it is.
Lianne La Havas is an amazing guitar player and singer! I saw her live once, just her and her guitar and it was phenomenal. You should check out her song Midnight live 🔥
She's a great songwriter, and I love the passion in her live performances. You should really check out her performance with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Amazing arrangements of her already great songs. Her Weird Fishes cover is a personal favorite. Very hard to add your own character to an already amazing song.
I love Lianne, one of my fav artists. 'Forget' is amazing, thanks a lot for this, I really enjoyed the rundown ❤ her last album is crazy you should check it out :)
As I listen to Ms. LaHavas, her voice and style remind me of a much more Jazz oriented Corrine Bailey Rae. I like her singing very much and thank you for introducing her music to me.
I like how she leaves room for an instrumentlist to feel in around her vocals. I mean I don't know if that's just for the tiny desk or not. 😄I've heard the name before but I'm not familiar with her music. Keep this tiny desk thing going!
Great video once again. Thanks man. It would be interesting to see your process for creating a “film noir” type chord progression. I suspect you’d chain together some very cool movement.
I'd like to see more reaction videos to Lianne's music. She's the one of the best. Her Midnight at sofar, Bittersweet at Colors, her home live at Tiny Desk. God she's unique. She deserves much more.
I like your enthousiasm, but your approach is - sorry tot be critical - a little bit limmited to harmonical and functionel analysis, and to the functional analysis of the voice lines in chord procession. I tend to do the same, but it's not fair. She has a habit to play the guitar rhytms in another pace than her singing melodies. The tension between rhythm of the guitar and rhtythm of the voice is a recognisable element of her music. Check out how I found her (and sought further afterwards) in her Blogothèque 'No Room for Doubts'
