Lianne La Havas.

Lianne La Havas' debut record, Is Your Love Big Enough?, was a critical and popular hit that iTunes named its album of the year in 2012. Today, she joins World Cafe older and wiser in terms of who she is and what she wants from her music.

The title of La Havas' inventive new album, Blood, signifies family and identity. Those concepts come across in songs like "Green And Gold," which alludes to Jamaica and Greece, her parents' home countries. The arrangements vary in style from song to song, but La Havas' vocals shine throughout. On this page, hear her perform music from Blood on stage at World Cafe Live in Philadelphia.
