Laura Mvula
Vocal Range: D3-D6
Voice Type: Mezzo Soprano
Laura Mvula is a dynamic and energetic singer who utilises her powerful voice to great effect, with great ease at building complex and interesting harmonies and a potent ability to deliver resonant belts. All of Laura's demonstrated range is completely usable, with most of her impressive moments taking place throughout the fifth octave where she delivers strong lead vocals in chest, and allows room for her head voice to pierce and dance in the background. Laura's vocal style is fairly direct, forcing the listener to pay attention, although softer and nuanced performances do exist and can mostly be heard on earlier recordings. Laura's albums all show clear evolution, with the most recent and critically acclaimed Mercury nominated 'Pink Noise' being a significant statement piece, suggesting this artist knows no bounds and will continue to surprise and excite.
