When she positioned herself at the front of the British soul with her first album Sing To The Moon released in March 2013, Laura Mvula suspected that some form of pressure would follow. It is perhaps for this reason she took her time and waited three years before following up with this beautiful alloy of soul, R’N’B, gospel and jazz. In that time, she has gone through divorce as well as the passage into her thirties. With immense emotional pretext, The Dreaming Room is not a reflection of absolute serenity... But then again that's probably what has led the Birmingham singer to record this truly excellent sophomore attempt. Laura Mvula bears her soul quite literally – this is not jumpy and festive, but rather introspective - at times sounding like a modern gospel and even evoking thoughts of Julia Holter. A sense of gravity is evident as the song Phenomenal Woman demonstrates, with its title taken from a poem by Maya Angelou. The great American poet is also one of the main inspirations for this album that impresses especially when the LSO (London Symphony Orchestra) gets in on the act. Nile Rodgers of Chic and jazz guitarist John Scofield are also in support – a wonderful album from the soul singer. © MZ / Qobuz
