Love you Lianne! You sound so fresh and so lovely like scent of exotic fruit! And you've got a fantastic musical taste! May you become so skilled, natural and brilliant as our favourite Ella! Fingers crossed for your career!
Listenin Lian to sounds like listening music, how many folks her age was listening Ella Fitzgerald, she's something special. Lauryn Hill Miseducation is one of my top ten albums.
Dang!! I'm American but I'm first generation, my two parents are from the island, and for some reason when I first saw Lianne perform, there was just something about her. I said, I BET she's Jamaican. And here we are. It's something in the way she holds her self.
I just don't get why people are prouder to say they are from the islands than African. There is no such thing as black people from the islands. They are only there because of slavery. It is nothing but colonial programming where they made slaves feel better than the black people they couldn't control.
Delboy0 you are correct and I agree with you. However I said nothing of the sorts. I know that all the black people on the islands and in the rest of the world are there because of the Diaspora. I have pride in Africa as it's our home country. However I have no idea where in Africa my particular Jamaican family came from and my family has no idea either. I can only identify with Jamaica. I know that country. I do not know what country in Africa we are from. I'm not bashing Africa in any shape or form, and I'm not, as you say, "prouder to be Jamaican over an African" Never said that. Don't know what you're reading, because it is not what I said.
ghostie7790 You can take a DNA test for $70 that can not only tell you what African country you are from, but what town and tribe. No one can tell you how to feel, if you feel Jamaica is your origin you are buying to into British slave colonialism. I remember seeing Jamaican claim the Britain was the motherland for Jamaicans.
@@Delboy0Your comment is more than 6 years old but I would strongly not recommend that anyone take a DNA test to 'know' where they're from. For me, the only identity that matters is spiritual. You don't think that giving $70 US to a European company and giving them your DNA to 'find out where you are from' is colonial? The DNA test results are not accurate. The results you receive are based on the closest match that is already in the database. It's a comparison and an estimate, it's not absolute. Moreover, you have no idea how these companies will use this data in the future. It will be used for the new slavery, and people will go back into bondage again. Also, it's not like Africans didn't sell each other into slavery. There's no ideal place anywhere in the present, past, or future. Ancestors were not saints and perfect people. The British and the Europeans did not rightfully own the land that is called Jamaica or the rest of the Caribbean islands. People are free to claim Jamaica as their country of birth. There's a lot of history there that many Africans today had nothing to do with.
WHAT A SWEET AND BEAUTIFUL ARTISTIC PERSONALITY!! CHARMING AS WELL!! MWAAH THANK YOU!! IVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO HRARING LI ANNE "SPEAK" ABOUT ANYTHING.. LMAOOO TRUE STORY!
Her mannerisms remind me of FKA twigs who is also half jamacian and half European (Spanish (or Italian I think)) it must be a thing in the blood, that sorta composed and pleasant yet intricate and energetic it's very special
Twigs is also British born and raised. You develop you mannerisms from the cultural environment you grow up in, not from the environment some of your ancestors lived in.
This guy should stop being awkward , nothing he can do will ever make her consider him as a potential date... she’s operating at a different level homie
I want the sound engineer whoever it is to resign. This is the worst interview I have seen on UA-cam so far with respect to sound recording, not the content. So bad I had to abondon in the middle.
Now I want Corinne & Lianne to collab
Been overdue
HOLY SHIIIIAAEEETTT
I WOULD PUNCH A NUN!!!
Mannnnnn
Would LOVE for that to happen !
Prince only invited the very best into his world. Lianne is a very talented and very charming lady.
I just like listening to her talk. Somebody give her a dictionary to read 'cause it dont matter. Such a lovelay accent, so splendid.
i know right??
I'm in love.
British colloquium. Buy the British Slang Dictionary. It helps immensely.
A very beautiful woman...and that accent just takes the cake!!
One of thee BEST Lianne La Havas interviews I've seen, great work!
Her smile makes me fall in love.
Thanks for bringing us closer to Prince!!! With this interview we took a journey with you!!! Our Purple One!!
She is phenomonal, so appreciative I found her on YT. The way she says battery is darling, reminds me of my Czech grandparents.
She is such a lovely soul
Reminds me of a baby Sade 🎶💫
*You hit it RIGHT ON THE MARK!!!*
Omg finally someone sees it too
Beautiful and down to earth...
Love you Lianne! You sound so fresh and so lovely like scent of exotic fruit! And you've got a fantastic musical taste! May you become so skilled, natural and brilliant as our favourite Ella! Fingers crossed for your career!
Lianne's NEW Album is upon us

This is a good interviewer.

How the hell do you forget your phone the day you know that Prince is going to call you?
This was pretty funny both great personalities
“Prolly comes out when you’re angry” 😂😂😂😂 WTH!!
Her talking voice is very soothing. Reminds me a lot of Alicia Keys.
💎❤
🤔Brill 😍
I'm surprised that Erykah Badu is not influence she really reminds me of her
Not anymore... :'(
Ugh, the mics. Did no one honestly check the mics before recording?
subbed
I’d love to chat with her, so interesting and calming to talk to i reckon.
Why is the sound so horrible? They're not particularly loud vocally but the mic levels are overblown and clipping
god what a shame about the mics!!!
Hey it's the guy from the Grapevine
This guy should stop being awkward , nothing he can do will ever make her consider him as a potential date... she’s operating at a different level homie
The interviewer is so annoying and akward to me. Is that just me? She is so on top of him..
11 - 2
#me
too much on Prince, ah well, at least she was interviewed for a new audience
RIGHT #prince4ever
so actually, her dad is english and her mum is english?
Possibly by nationality, but her dad is Greek and mum is Jamaican.
Damn she's pretty..😏
Prince has feet. Who knew? Lol. She's adorable.
I want the sound engineer whoever it is to resign. This is the worst interview I have seen on UA-cam so far with respect to sound recording, not the content. So bad I had to abondon in the middle.
Aye Jameer! Great interview! I love her! Great music! Awesome voice!
