Laura Marling

Laura Beatrice Marling (born 1 February 1990) is a British folk singer-songwriter. She won the Brit Award for Best British Female Solo Artist at the 2011 Brit Awards and was nominated for the same award at the 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018 Brit Awards.

Marling joined her older sisters in London at age 16 to pursue a career in music. She played with a number of groups and released her debut album, Alas, I Cannot Swim, in 2008. Her first album, her second album I Speak Because I Can, her fourth album Once I Was an Eagle, and her seventh album Song for Our Daughter were nominated for the Mercury Music Prize in 2008, 2010, 2013, and 2020, respectively. Her sixth record, Semper Femina, was also nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Folk Album category, as was Song for Our Daughter.

Her songwriting is associated with sex and relationships, the modern concept of womanhood, and trauma.

Video: Laura Marling - Short Movie
Laura Marling's single Short Movie is an enchanting slow-burner.. For those who've missed on singer-songwriter Laura Marling's overwhelming talent it's best to describe her as having the bluntness of Courtney Barnett merged with the instrumental beauty of Ben Howard. Short Movie is the title track from Laura Marling's fifth album and she has dropped a music video alongside it. The clip is simplistic in nature, making use of mostly of white and varying hues of blue in a haphazard way as if they were drawn on. Much like many of the best singer-songerwriter tracks it has humble beginnings that slowly burgeon with the expanding array of instruments before blooming with a georgeous strings section. And worth noting is the charming call and receive Marling does with her voice by varying its pitch at the beginning.  Follow Laura Marling: FACEBOOK
