Mvula’s forthcoming album is a combination of uplifting disco-inspired pop. She said in a statement: “This is the album I always wanted to make. Every corner is made warm with sunset tones of the 80s. I was born in 1986. I came out of the womb wearing shoulder pads. I absorbed the dynamism of the 80s aesthetic right from my first moments on this planet”.
“Making ‘Pink Noise’ felt like the most violent of emotional wrestling matches. It took three years of waiting and waiting and fighting and dying and nothingness, and then finally an explosion of sound. As if it was always here, this record is my most honest and unapologetic flying of the freedom flag. I can’t wait to play this album live” – she continues.
Recently the singer admitted she felt extremely hurt after her former label dropped her in 2017. In an interview with MusicWeek she said: “I was very much aware that I wasn’t charting. It’s not like my albums were hitting the Top 10 and staying there. It was pretty intense. It was a very brief note saying that they were so grateful, but this was the end of the road. It’s a hard thing to make sense of and to come back from“.
Laura Mvula will perform in London on 2nd September at Village Underground, purchase tickets from here.
