It’s well documented how much English singer-songwriter Laura Marling is revered, It was so good to hear that this morning she has another album on the way. After seeing her superb headline set at Green Man festival earlier this year, plus numerous other female singer songwriters have emerged in her shadow like Marika Hackman and Billie Marten.
The new titled Semper Femina, the album was produced alongside US musician/producer Blake Mills (Alabama Shakes, Jim James) and is due for release on the 10th March 2017.
“I started out writing Semper Femina as if a man was writing about a woman, and then I thought; “it’s not a man, it’s me”,” explained Marling. “I don’t need to pretend it’s a man to justify the intimacy, or the way I’m looking and feeling about women. It’s me looking specifically at women and feeling great empathy towards them, and by proxy, towards myself.”
The announcement of Semper Femina also comes with the video for the new single “Soothing” which also marks Laura Marling’s directorial debut for this video.
