Låpsley

LAPSLEY IN CONCERT:Rising British songstress Lapsley combines the minimal R&B of James Blake and the lush balladry of Adele to stunning effect. A BBC Sound of 2015 nominee on the strength of two stellar EPs, Lapsley has already won over fans across the UK, and she’s poised to make a big splash there and everywhere with her 2016 full-length debut Long Way Home. In concert she lets her dynamic voice speak for itself, performing with minimal backing accompaniment as she sings achingly beautiful tunes like "Station" and "Falling Short" with a bewitching blend of tender vulnerability and to-the-rafters power. Her music is soft and hushed, but Lapsley can belt with the best of them -- a fact she makes clear every time she takes the stage.
