UK songstress Laura Marling's sophomore album, I Speak Because I Can was produced by Ethan Johns (Kings of Leon, Ryan Adams) and is the follow up to Marling's lauded, Mercury Prize-nominated debut, Alas I Cannot Swim.
Recorded in 2009 at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios, I Speak Because I Can reveals a new side to Laura Marling, whose debut was released when she was only seventeen years old. The ten songs are imbued with a new richness, ripeness and sophistication, marked by homespun tales and sparse instrumentation.
