The past few years have seen an influx of British female singer-songwriters of the folk pop variety, but Laura Marling stands out in the pack as a little more credible than the rest. The startlingly young songstress has a new video out for "Sophia," a contemplative folk song with warm strings that eventually transforms into a gentle grooving folk rocker. In the simple video, Marling and her band are playing in a church. She looks a little despondent singing those Nick Drake-reminiscent melodies! Someone should cheer her up.
This track will appear on her forthcoming album A Creature I Don't Know, out September 12th on Ribbon Music. Preorder it here.
