Lianne La Havas is coming, and you’d better believe you’re going to hear about her. This Friday, July 31, the British singer-songwriter releases Blood, the follow up to 2012’s award-winning Is Your Love Big Enough?, which gained her Album of the Year at iTunes UK as well as a spot on the Warner Brothers Records roster.

Drawing from a number of influences, including her Greek and Jamaican heritage, Blood cuts straight to the heart, a seductive blend of poetic lyricism, sultry vocals, and strong yet understated musicianship. This track, “Unstoppable,” is dedicated to a past lover in the hopes of mending fences.
