A Creature I Don’t Know – Laura Marling

A Creature I Don’t Know – Laura Marling

What are they feeding these young British female singers? The current crop of ingenues displays a frightening level of precociousness. There’s been Adele’s zillion-platinum-selling 21 — named after her age when she wrote the mature, bruised torch songs contained on it.

Now comes folk singer Laura Marling’s third album in four years, following the outstanding I Speak Because I Can and arriving while the singer is still six months shy of her 22nd birthday. It’s a gorgeous 10-song collection, with Marling’s crystal-clear voice, wry observations on love and complex guitar work completely justifying the ‘modern day Joni Mitchell’ tag she’s been burdened with. Another exciting development in a career that’s really just getting started.
