After winning the Oscar for Best Picture a few weeks ago, I went onto revisit the soundtrack to 12 Years a Slave and rediscovered Laura Mvula's brilliant cover of the standard "Little Girl Blue."
Offering a simple piano arrangement that really allows Laura's vocals to take center stage and shine, her emotive interpretation of "Little Girl Blue" really struck me to my core and warrants several listens in my humble opinion.
While 2013 saw her debut album Sing to the Moon get slept on here in the States, hopefully she can breakthrough further in 2014 as she is one of the most exiting new artists to emerge in my book over the last few years. Either way you feel, take a listen below to her hauntingly beautiful cover of "Little Girl Blue" and Enjoy!
