Editor's note

Laura Mvula's spacious, floating soul

A Birmingham singer who builds intimate atmospheres from jazz, soul, and orchestral arrangements.

For a good frame, try Bread or Like The Morning Dew. They show how she builds those spacious arrangements around her voice.

Her songs have that floating quality, listen to Angel or Is There Anybody Out There? and you hear how she makes soul feel both intimate and expansive. She writes her own material and plays piano, working with musicians like guitarist Oli Rockberger. The sound isn't about fitting a genre; it's about creating a particular atmosphere.

She grew up in Birmingham listening to Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald. Her first album, Sing to the Moon, came out in 2013, followed by The Dreaming Room in 2016 and Pink Noise in 2021.

Archive material and source history

Laura Mvula grew up in Birmingham, England, where she listened to Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, and Donny Hathaway. Her first album, Sing to the Moon, came out in 2013. She followed it with The Dreaming Room in 2016 and Pink Noise in 2021.

Her songs like Angel and Is There Anybody Out There? have a kind of spacious, floating quality to them. She writes her own material and plays piano, working with musicians like guitarist Oli Rockberger and bassist Sam Beste.

Mvula's music doesn't fit neatly into one category. It has elements of soul and jazz, but it's arranged with a certain orchestral sweep that feels both intimate and expansive. The sound is less about genre and more about creating a particular atmosphere.
