Ah Laura Marling. The NME Queen of cool... She is pretty cool but really? Anyway one thing that cannot be disputed is that she makes great albums as well as awesome singles. The first single from her widely acclaimed and mercury prize nominated second album “I Speak Because I Can” is “Devil Spoke” a brutal, sexual song that adds a vicious undertone to most folk songs. It’s fast-paced driving acoustic guitar adds menace to the promiscuous song topic as Laura as she always does wraps the song in stunningly poetic lyrics but still makes the song relatable and clear. “Eye to eye/Nose to nose/Ripping off each other’s clothes in the most peculiar way” she sings so passionately over the climax of the song. Laura may not have lived up to her promise of releasing two albums in a year, but with songs like this she most definitely keeps us waiting so impatiently for her third LP and I’m sure it’s going to be one we will remember as fondly as the last one.
P.S She's really hot.
