A native of South London, with Greek and Jamaican parents, La Havas began teaching herself to play piano, write songs, and sing at the age of seven. Her family’s diverse taste was very influential, when she was a child, her grandparents babysat her often: “They’re from Jamaica, so when I was growing up I listened to a lot of religious reggae-almost hymns, but in a reggae style-on cassettes. But at the same time my mother was listening to a lot of '80s and '90s Michael Jackson, and Mary J Blige, who I loved from a very early age. Plus India Arie, Jill Scott and The Fugees”.
Lianne’s biggest hits include “Green and Gold”, “Unstoppable”, “Gone”, as well as an incredible cover of Dionne Warwick's “I Say a Little Prayer”, and a show stopping Tiny Desk performance for NPR Music. Her catalogue also includes the albums “Blood” and “Is Your Love Big Enough”.

So I was sitting at the Brisbane airport playing this song on youtube on my phone, and Lianne came over and said 'that's me singing that song ' She stopped and chatted, signed her album for me I had just bought that morning, and was happy to have photo's. Not only immensely talented, gorgeous, but clearly grounded and a beautiful person. Deserves all the success in the world!!
Stfu!!!!! Is it true?! I can't believe it 😨
wayyyyy too good to be true bro
People will really say anything for attention.
awesome
Lucky guy
I had the honor of doing her makeup a couple times during my early days in NY. One of the most soulful, warm, talented, classy, elegant, amazing artists who don’t get enough credit. She absolutely deserves some Grammies. Love Lianne!
She seems like someone who would make an amazing friend.
HER OUTFIT. HER HAIR. THE VIDEOGRAPHY.
HER VOICE
+gracelee HER TALENT. HER VOICE. HER GRACE.
JUST. HER.
why isn't she up there with artists like Beyonce, Adele, etc. She has such a beautiful voice and she's absolutely flawless.
That's what makes her that much better... she's a hidden gem!
Jack Cleary couldn't agree more
Perhaps she's not interested in empty fame.
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt It's pretty difficult to make music, publish it, perform live and also mitigate your fame to the perfect level - it's basically down to luck
Jack Cleary Just not Beyoncé - overrated with only few decent songs
This song stays in your brain after just one listen.
She is so beautiful she makes me appreciate my blackness!!!
Wonderfully put.
You are beautiful! ♥️
Lianne La Havas and Corinne Bailey Rae.
I'll be waiting patiently.
Oh my god yes
oh my God, that would be phenomenal. I'll be there for sure!
Same here
Monique
Damn you read my mind
Yessss😻
Sadly still waiting 😢
She deserves a few Grammy's, Is Your Love Big Enough? And Blood are Albums that you can listen to from Start to finish without skipping any tracks, Her Lyrics can really touch you.
exactly
you don't need an award when you have that talent
Why this doesnt have at least 3 million views is beyond me.
People don't know good music these days!!
Not 3 million views, but it is getting there. :)
3.6 million and counting!
The message of this song is so beautiful. It's about her journey to self-love.
MooCowPoopPoop xviedo
Can you explain how so? I am dumb I don’t get it 😭
@@yasinkhansaheb I would say self-love and self-awareness, because of the part she talks about cleaning the dust from the mirror, now she can see herself. Also the part where she says that sees everything clearer after all those lines she was just discovering herself.
[Lyrics]
Six years old
Staring at my nose through the mirror
Trying to get my toes in the mirror
Thinking 'who's that girl?'
And 'does the mirror world go on forever?'
Carmenia Road
Sharpening the knives in the attic
Trying to watch cartoons through the static
Thinking where am I gonna be
If I'm ever twenty three?
I'm looking at a life unfold
Dreaming of the green and gold
Just like the ancient stone
Every sun rise I know
Those eyes you gave to me
That let me see
Where I come from
Found an old friend
Meeting my guitar in the city
Feeling like a star in the city
And suddenly it seems that I'm where I'm supposed to be, oh
And now I'm fully grown
And I'm seeing everything clearer
Just sweep away the dust from the mirror
We're walking hand in hand in the warm white sands
I'm looking at a life unfold
Dreaming of the green and gold
Just like the ancient stone
Every sun rise I know
Those eyes you gave to me
That let me see
Where I come from
Ancient stone
Oh, green and gold
Ancient stone
Oh, green and gold
Ancient stone
Green and gold
Ancient stone
Green and gold
I'm looking at a life unfold
Dreaming of the green and gold
Just like the ancient stone
Every sun rise I know
Those eyes you gave to me
That let me see
Where I come from
Thanks for this
Yey
Gracias por las letras me encanta esta canción lianne es una voz y una artista completa fresca divina .
Thanks forma this 💛💚
This song puts me in such a good mental state - makes me so comfortable and ready to do the things I love
It’s so refreshing to see a woman value her natural beauty instead of covering it up with false eyelashes, wigs and a ton of makeup, to the point where they don’t even look like themselves anymore. We need more of this
she looks so beautiful on this video omfg.
Mel Beltrán ikr makes me.wanna marry her.
She always looks beautiful! ;)
Being Jamaican, I just had a hunch that Green & Gold was referring to Jamaica. So proud that you got green and gold blood girl!
First time I heard Lianne's voice was on Being Mary Jane. Her music came on & I immediately shazamed, got the album, watched her live performances, read about her, followed her on twitter and IG. She's like none other. I just hope she gets MAJOR attention cuz music isnt all about the generic formulaic pop bullshit on the radio.There are soo many soulful awesome artists out there who MAKE REAL MUSIC.
+jerrie sambers
yeah that's exactly how it was first time i heard Chaka singin's with Rufus, cept there was no twitter or any such b.s., but yeah, same. lol
If she does not win a Grammy...
Listen..
Do people still measure artists by grammy's?
+tvwatcher9617 Grammys are meaningless
+They Call Me Sully maybe, but you should look at it from the artists perspective. raised knowing that that award is the epitome of progress. Theres a lot of recognition that comes with a Grammy
+PJ If you're asking of the importance of a grammy, try this article. medium.com/cuepoint/you-may-not-care-about-winning-a-grammy-but-i-do-5e04999229c
Maybe you'll better understand that we're talking about career implications, not only status/titles.
I never heard of her until I went to Coldplay's concert yesterday, all I could think when she started to sing was "WHO IS SHE AND WHERE SHE WAS THIS WHOLE TIME?" I can't describe how much in love I am.
same here!
So much better in the real life as well!
true her acoustics sound much better live
yeah same |-/
I've been waiting years for her to get the attention she DESERVES. phenomenal in every way.
Jerh ree I know how you feel, good music it's hard to be successful nowadays
Timeless, Classy, Beautiful, Soulful, Creative and Talented... I smell a Grammy needed.
Wow! Not sure if I commented on this one already but sheesh! It has so much spice, vigor and sensuality. It’s actually very perfect! 🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
I love that this song was inspired by/about Jamaica. This song perfectly embodies what I feel like whenever I go to my homeland ⭐️🇯🇲
It didn't surprise me to read recently that Lianne is a big fan of Radiohead and their song Weird Fishes because the arpeggios that open this song immediately made me think of Radiohead. Love it.
I checked it and you have god damn right. but I prefere definetly Lianne`s song. Her composition is more advanced in my opinion and off course her voice and beauty beats every radio head : 0
Sham Bolic absolutely! Also, you can notice that from her brilliant cover of Weird Fishes in Glastonbury
This song is basically a reckoner cover
@@xmrsmarsx which she recorded for her self titled album released this year!
This woman here, she's so beautiful and talented!!!
A band called the Accidentals done a cover of this and I just couldn't get it out of my head, so I had to check this out and nice to realise the cover was faithful. Great song 🎶
Lianne is doing her thing. Kudos to her for stepping outside of the box of the music industry.
she was just amazing last night in Bogotá!
Absolutamente de acuerdo contigo :)
En México la partió también.
+Javier Medina Total me gusto mucho, me hubiera encantado verla haciendo la voz femenina en hymn for the weekend pero buehh
Si, estuvo buenísima.
I'm gently crying because of the beauty I just witnessed.
I can feel her beauty and her confidence through her video. It's so beautiful to watch
I heard this song on the beginning of Grey's Anatomy last night...immediately went on a frantic search and found this lovely, angelic, never heard before voice!!! How did I not know? New fan!!!!
Yas!!
everything about Lianne La Havas is stunning - voice, looks, personality...
My goodness. This is so beautiful , I feel my soul dancing. So so so so beautiful
This is a really beautiful dedication to her heritage. "Dreaming of the green and gold, just like the ancient stone, every sun rise I know, Those eyes you gave to me, that let me see, where I come from" it's about getting to travel to the countries her parents/ancestors come from and see where she comes from.
*This song is EVERYTHING* ❤❤❤
Probalby the most beautiful woman on the world :) Gorgeous song ! Happy to have the album on vinyl !
Its not fair, she is so beautiful, talented, relatable and feels grounded...i want to be all these things but i would settle for one of them..this particular song speaks volumes about its creator
Pure art. 👌🏿
Beautiful piece of art.
Lianne La Havas is an artist with style, grade "A" talent and creative vocal ability. The awesome track "Green & Gold" (certified platinum) has a Prince and the New Power Generation feel to it. I got to get my hands on this lyrical masterpiece. I'm gonna make it my business to add this to my musical library. Yes, oh yes!
one day i decided to just randomly click on a playlist on spotify, her song was on the playlist and i instantly fell in love. what a beautiful coincidence
That's exactly how I found her, only last Sunday. I've had Green & Gold and Unstoppable on repeat since then.
like before listening, anyone?
me too !!
Definite neo soul vibe goin' on. Sounds very early 2000's.
I usually listen only songs because I'd rather fall deep in music than the singer's appearance. But I have to admit that she's so gorgeous.
I studied under a motown era bass player who jokingly called this the "Ooom - Blat" beat. Love it. Right in the pocket. This track is SO FRESH! Sexy beautiful amazing black woman absolutely slaying it, hats off Ms Lianne La Havas. Dig the broken glass mirror motif in the video too. Love everything about this. You got a new fan forever.
YES, She's an artist and what i mean by that her quality is stellar in every form.
Realising why haven't I discovered her before where was I when this song has been released ??? It's freaking literally my vibe of song!! And her version of say my little pray is living in my head rent free🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 lots of love appreciation to Lianne💗💗😍
Six years old
Staring at my nose in the mirror

And 'Does the mirror world go on forever?'
Calmly you roll
Sharpening the knives in the attic
Trying to watch cartoons through the static
Thinking where am I gonna be
If I'm ever twenty-three? Oh
I'm looking at a life unfold
Dreaming of the green and gold
Just like the ancient stone
Every sunrise I know

I'm…
So Beautiful..

Her voice is beautiful and velvety ...wonderful performance!!
Wonderful. I love this song. Lianne, your voice Is so calm and so nice 💞💞💞💞💞
killer tan outfit in the beginning. love everything about it. so many amazing details and a really rad overall feeling
I love the honesty in this so much, thank you Liane. It's subtle, beautiful, different..
My god, you are artistic perfection'!
This vibe.... this groove..... wow!! precious. It gets in your head and carry with you all day.
A bonafide work of art this is, she is so incredibly talented and this song has a vibe that strums the deepest chords in my heart.
thank you so much for singing in Argentina!! we absolutely loved you, you have a new fan here 💖 love you!!! 😍 never stop singing please
Saw her at boardmasters on Friday. she's brilliant

I'm gay.
This woman is my crush. Get how serious this is?
+Ramón H. Juárez Same, I asked her to marry me when i saw her live, she laughed at me and said no, (Still recovering)
I know what you are speaking of, I am lesbian. :)
+Ramón H. Juárez eres mi nuevo crushh
+Ramón H. Juárez HAHAHAHA I was telling myself exactly the same man ;)
+Thomas Sturgess oh :'( good luck with your recovery
shared this on the Facebook page of 10:11 PM - The power of music!
Absolutely mesmerizing. Very much giving me Prince vibes on this track.... beautiful ❤
That bass
My favourite song of 2016 and the Album best 2016 love her music amazing talent.
This Girl killed it yesterday in Bogotá.
Amazing performance! 👏🏻👏🏻✊🏻
I met Lianne in a pub in Sheffield and she was wring a song down on a pad. She told me she was a singer/songwriter. She wrote her name down for me on a piece of paper and I put it in my pocket unread I was so blown away. by her beauty. When I got home. I looked her up on UA-cam. and I couldn"t believe how accomplished she was and her achievements Glasto North Sea Jazz festival nominations for MOBO"s US TV and US and Canadian tours. She was so modest and didn"t enlighten me on her successes and didn"t. blow her own trumpet. She is certainly one to watch a fabulously talented artist. with a bright future
I LOVE this song and admire you so much. Amazing video!
Just saw her live in Atlanta and she was absolutely incredible. Easily a top 10 life experience for me!
Me too. She was so beautiful and sounded amazing
+Tori Flot Lianne La Havas was AMAZING in ATL on the 25th of October 2015. She was better than expected, had awesome presence and seemed genuinely happy about the crowds reaction to her and her music. Beautiful experience indeed!!
+Tori Flot they had to cancel our show :(
Dallas
This is terribly unfortunate! I really hope you get to see her next time she comes around. She was truly amazing. I could see her 10 times and not get tired!
Ish i hit the wrong button was trying to reply
Absolutely obsessed with her at the moment! Going to see her on Monday as well!!!!!!!!
I adore everything about Lianne La Havas
I love her voice.
Such an amazing song. I just love all the vibes this song has. I nearly teared up the first time I heard this song, the lyrics are so damn beautiful. Such a great gift you are giving us here.
Adored her at Love Supreme last weekend, she deserves to be recognised ! love
Wow. How have I not heard of this woman before??? She is awesome! I fell in love with this song and her voice ten seconds into the song and am so blown away. What a rich, sultry voice. She's gorgeous to listen to and also to see. I love discovering a new artist that truly IS talented!
Love your sweet voice!!!!
Lianne is a fucking goddess
This album is sooo amazing and it's so typical to hear artists say that their sound has matured but that would be spot on with "Blood". While the first album sounded like live material recomposed for studio, this album sounds so well put together and perfectly mixed and textured. Can't wait for another and PLEASE COME TO SOUTH AFRICA!!!!
This style is so genuine. You can hear Macy Grey, Corrine Bailey Ray, Salah Sue, and even Florence adapting to this genre
she is amazing.. I also feel an alicia keys vibe
holy shit yes, did not know this song had a music video until now
It keeps getting better and better. If you ever have concert in NY, let me know.
NOWDAYS IN THE WORLD OF CHEAP MUSIC LIANNE SHINES ABOVE ALL AND SHOWS THE REAL ART OF MAKING MUSIC
GENIA TOTAL!!!! te vi en LA PLATA- ARGENTINA con COLD PLAY. EXCELENTE!!!!
Went to the Melbourne Coldplay concert and you were there. Had to search you up because your beautiful.

She is great! I've just listened to her songs this sunday right before Coldplay AHFOD tour starts here in Brazil! I wish her success and she is so cute speaking to her audience live ^^
this is one of those songs that you randomly hear in the radio and just instantly thinks "yeah, i need that in my playlist ASAP", how do i know? because that's exactly what happened to me!
This songs about Freedom. and she looks so free and happy
AHFOD tour brought me here.

La voz de esta mujer es espectacular, la sigo desde hace mucho tiempo y realmente me encanta su voz. Saludos desde Venezuela
Everything about this is pretty - Lianne, the song, the video... Just... Pretty.
Lianne and Little Dragon duet for the win!!!
No comprendo como existen 220 personas a las que les desagrada esta música tan llena de vida & de todo
Lianne La Havas is what happens if you run Annie Clark, Laura Mvula and Prince through a supercollider
Sounds out of this world
We need you to come visit USA!!! Soon!! My girlfriend introduced me to your music and a lot of us would die to see you perform live!!!
This is one of my favourite songs on the album. I didn't know it had a video...
She sings amazing live! Thanks Coldplay Mexico!
2019 y todavía amo esta canción!!!
Awe, love this soulful song, so smooth, so mellow.
Lianne looks absolutely gorgeous!!! I love this song.
