Mercury nominated songwriter Laura Marling has revealed details of her second album 'I Speak Because I Can'.
Laura Marling emerged from London's bustling indie folk scene. Backed at early shows by Mumford And Sons, the singer's debut album 'Alas I Cannot Swim' was produced by Noah And The Whale frontman Charlie Fink.
Linked romantically, the pair's split allegedly inspired material from Noah And The Whale's second album 'First Days Of Spring'.
Released to widespread acclaim 'Alas I Cannot Swim' was rewarded with a nomination for the Mercury Music Prize. Since then Laura Marling has toured widely, recently supporting Daniel Johnston on a rare British jaunt.
Taking time off to work on new material, Laura Marling has now confirmed details of her second album. Titled 'I Speak Because I Can' the singer received some stellar assistance on recent recording sessions.
Grizzly songwriter Ray Lamontagne helmed sessions, while Kings Of Leon producer Ethan Johns also helped with recording. Initial reactions suggest that Laura Marling has improved upon her debut, with 'I Speak Because I Can' apparently a more mature vision of her songwriting prowess.
Due for release on March 1st, Laura Marling is set to follow the release of her second album with a lengthy British tour.
