Description
Laura Marling has always seemed like an old soul. The nu folk singer-songwriter released her debut LP, Alas, I Cannot Swim, at age 18 and its predecessors, I Speak Because I Can and A Creature I Don’t Know in 2010 and 2011 respectively. 4 albums in 5 years makes it easy to forget that the English songstress is just 23 years old, and it’s not just the breadth of Ms Marling’s work that makes you certain you’re listening to someone surely older and wiser. It’s the confidence in her lyrics, the way she can sing “I was a child once” on the track Once and you don’t doubt for a moment that those years are long gone.
