12. Laura Marling - I Speak Because I Can

Laura Marling is a soon to be 21 year old English folk artist. Her beauty and grace no know bounds. Her voice pierces right through you like a burning white light. I started listening to her a few years ago and am still dumbfounded how one so young can produce such perfect music with such deep, soulful lyrics. This is her sophomore album, and while I do not adore it as much as the first, it is still spectacular. The song, 'Blackberry Stone', was written in response to Charlie Fink from Noah and the Whale, whom she dated for a short time. She toured with Mumford and Sons last year and sang on Noah and the Whale's first record as well as Mystery Jets. This is a must have in your collection. Listen to her with headphones on and she will blow your mind.
