Laura marling. Lyrics. Songs. Singer/songwriter Laura Marling was only 16 years old when she emerged on the British indie scene in 2007 thanks to a handful of infectious singles made available on her MySpace profile.
Endowed with a husky voice, an acoustic guitar, and a gift for building quirky, hooky folk songs (characteristics that find her compared favorably to artists like Lily Allen, Regina Spektor, and Martha Wainwright), Marling quickly made a name for herself throughout England thanks to a heavy touring schedule and a few high-profile gigs, not the least of which included an appearance at the 2006 City Showcase: Spotlight London and as the opening act for Jamie T. Although she was still without a label one year later, her debut EP, My Manic and I, was slated for independent release in the late fall of 2007. This status didn't last for long, however, because in early 2008, signed to Virgin, Marling issued Alas I Cannot Swim, which also came as part of a multimedia Songbox package. Laura Marling - I Speak Because I Can. Laura Marling - I Speak Because I Can Toen Laura Marling een jaar of twee geleden voor het eerst opdook, achtte ik haar kans op een bloeiende carrière in de muziekindustrie eerlijk gezegd niet zo heel groot.
Laura Marling leek het zoveelste meisje met gitaar en moest het qua uitstraling op het eerste gezicht afleggen tegen de meeste van haar soort- en tijdgenoten.
