SONG FOR TODAY: Laura Marling

A wonderful track taken from 'I Speak Because I Can', the second album by the excellent Laura Marling, released on 22 March 2010 and produced by Ethan Johns. On 28 March 2010, I Speak Because I Can entered the official UK Charts at #4 and was certified Silver for sales of 60,000 in the UK. Back-up vocals are provided throughout the album by Marcus Mumford, the lead singer and guitarist of London based folk band Mumford and Sons, who was in a relationship with Marling at the time.

The album was listed at number 8 on The Guardian's Albums of 2010, and in 2011 Marling won the Best British Solo Artist at the Brit Awards.
