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”.

Lianne la havas talks to my soul. Her voice is such an experience calms me. Makes me feel the music. I've been replaying her old stuff my soul feels blessed right now.

[@emmanuele1143]

These words cuts real deep into my soul. God bless her for sharing her voice to help heal others . She is such a wonderful artist

[@jastea2026]

Living with depression under quarantine for months is hard. Music like this is what helps me to experience some positive triggers that makes my melancholy the fuel I need to feel relief, balance and finally make all the bad thoughts go quiet. It’s like magic.

[@rckannn1665]

Looks like sadfishing, my friend. Telling the whole Internet about your personal stuff won't ease the struggle, there is therapy, diaries, friends and family, they will do it better:) P.S. I'm telling this because I myself am in a similar state

[@dijonay971]

Ann G She’s not sad fishing, just sharing her experience and the positive ways in which the song helps her. Nothing wrong with that :)

[@danielle7781]

Jastea, I encourage you to read Philippians 4:6-7 to ease your mind and spirit. I've been there during these uncertain times 🙏🏽

[@rckannn1665]

@@dijonay971 Everyone nowadays is sharing their experiences on the Internet, and I seem not be able to live a day without coming across someone's talking about their anxiety, panic attacks etc. It's dejecting, I have my own issues, and it's too hard to ignore them, when everyone around screams about it now and then. I do believe there are therapists and close friends/relatives for helping and sharing with, not millions of strangers.

[@gigispencer2136]

Ann G such judgment. Your comment could’ve brought more sadness when u could’ve kept scrolling. Everyone operates at their own level of consciousness and you don’t know anything about this person and of they’re in a position to get therapy. Maybe they don’t have the strength to search for a therapist, maybe they lack a support system. 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@theisaiahmbrown]

I love the visual aesthetic of this video. The old grainy video camera, the slightly saturated greens and reds, and the slow lingering shots all work so well with the song. It really gives a beautifully quiet, contemplative summer vibe. Standing ovation to Ms. La Havas and the video team for this masterpiece.

[@theisaiahmbrown]

I totally thought she had someone else record this but apparently she did it herself. What a multitalented inspiration!

The way you described this is so beautiful 🥺 reminds me of myself. Your comment enhanced my experience. Thank you 😭

[@HoboGardenerBen]

She's both ahead of her time and like a memory of a better time. Her music is just so damn unique and heartfelt and beautiful, a natural expression of who she is.

[@thislioncahtame]

My All Time Favorite Artiste. She's SO UNDERRATED And That's Something I Don't Mind. Mainstream Doesn't Deserve Such A Gem 💜💜💜

[@slyrxccoon]

She's definitely underrated af, which is why she deserves a more mainstream public. Don't act like an elitist. Also, you don't need to capitalize every word of your sentence. It makes you sound dumb.

[@Trevan25]

How pretentious can one comment get

[@lerhondajones-bates3324]

Probably because she won't sell her soul🤷🏾‍♀️

[@hollaatthekid1796]

I want her to have main stream success without the mainstream route so she don't owe them nothing. I noticed the CD Blood had mad symbolism, was quite concerned, but if she had sold out she would of been promoted more. Maybe thats the reason this commenter said they dont deserve her? Artist who blow up do change. But she does deserve more listeners and recognition, shes amazing. Double edged sword....

[@cj10109]

I like that about her. 😌

[@HofTheStage]

Just when I thought she couldn't get any better! She's perfect, her voice, her guitar sound, man even the way she looks, everything is just soo beautiful

[@nathanhammer6328]

This video feels so intimate. It feels like falling in love and in the context of the song, feels like the sweetness lost when a relationship ends. The plants seem to represent growth and that relationship burning, and ending on a huge tree seems to be thinking of a relationship that grows strong and unshakable.

[@chowe9]

Reminds me of Erika Badu

[@theTrend7]

This could have been a video of a glass of water on a table and it would still be the best video,just because Lianne was singing in it.

[@jmundito]

My personal interpretation of this song is that it's about loving yourself, the good and the bad. The first verse is the side of you that's strong and hopeful, pleading to the side of you that's hurt and depressed. The second verse is the hurt side expressing self-pity and doubt, but also understanding of themselves, as they plead for the strong side to stay so they can continue to cope. And that's why in the chorus there are two keys and they both open the same door because it's the same heart. Both sides just want to love the other and be free. They won't give up their key because one won't give up their hope, and the other won't give up their trauma. As long as they're at odds, you can never heal, be complete, or fully accept and love yourself.

This is such a beautifully soothing and aesthetically-pleasing intimate video. From the slow lingeringly beautiful ethereal authentic shots of La Havas, as well as the plants, nature and sun seeming to represent different meanings to the truly artistic context of the song of falling in love, like it’s paper thin. The plants representing growth in a relationship, while the burning roses seem to represent the eternally burning love, good or bad in it. The sun and serenity of her enjoying herself representing the joy and hope that love brings. As Lianne’s heart meltingly pure heavenly beautiful and soothingly calm vocals and guitar playing really truly bring the soothingly beautiful and heavenly calm of this record to life with these beautifully soothing and aesthetically-pleasing visuals. Bringing us that serenity, peace and soothing calm contemplative summer vibes at a time all of the world truly needs it.

Together, we must continue disconnecting from their culture and way of life. The pursuit of money, material wealth and uncontrollable sexual desires are destroying the mental balance and security against unseen forces that seek to destroy the people. We are the ancestors of our future selves. Therefore, we must set aside our differences and form alliances worldwide without nations that have inherited a past of unsettling truths. The life of unity exists in the security of our communities, nations, and the protection of our people. Our new and innovative race is now active.
