Lianne LaHavas British soul singer, Lianne La Havas is touring the states for the first time in support of her debut album, Is Your Love Big Enough?. She joins us Friday, November 9 for an XPN Free At Noon show!

With a BBC Sound of 2012 nomination, North American tour spot with Bon Iver, and Last Call with Carson Daly appearances already to her credit, English folk singer-songwriter Lianne La Havas was due for an equally exciting full-length debut album which happened in August. Is Your Love Big Enough? The soulful young singer started singing back-up for English singer Paloma Faith on tour while attending college in England. La Havas was signed to Warner Bros. Records in 2010 and left college to pursue her music career full-time. She has since put out three EPs and her first full-length album, recorded in Brooklyn and L.A. , was released in August.

Is Your Love Big Enough? has made waves throughout the music industry. The record quickly became a UK Top 5 album and has been nominated for the Mercury Music Prize.
