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”.

I don't typically comment on videos, but I got to say, she probably has the most beautiful voice out of anyone I have heard in a very long time. It's got to be really tough in the music business these days to still be original, but she is truly something special. Listening to her sing is like looking up and seeing the sky for the first time.

PJ Many artists' greatest hits are covers and some people don't even know they are not theirs. For example, I Will Always Love You is not originally by Whitney Houston. The list goes on. So, no need to judge Lianne for an amazing rendition. She didn't even copy the original. She made it her on. That's not easy to do.

Neghie Thervil she is so perfect
There's just something magic about her singing. The guitar accompaniment fits her very well because she can take her own time for her phrasing and can really let her voice ring out. There's just something about her control and way phrasing that catches me everytime. And even after learning how she's phrasing (I'm a man) there's just something special in the texture of her voice that can't be archieved with technique. She's one of the few singers that are truly individual.
I am 67 years old and this young lady brought tears to my eye… she is a gift
Her Vibrato is simply beautiful 🤩
Absolutely magical. She nails it perfectly, the brief stops after each chorus, the control and range of her voice and guitar accompaniment , the way she builds to a crescendo, her aura, passion and delicacy. The crowds awe , lack of phones, general silence , but then unanimous clapping in time to the last chorus, Incredible. Aretha Franklin's original is a classic, but totally different vibe. This is a rare case where a cover just adds extra brilliance to an already amazing original piece of music.

One of the best renditions I've ever heard!
This interpretation is sublime. Even our greatest diva, Aretha Franklin, blessed her and Burt Bacharah and Hal David took off their hats!
