Laura Marling

What I love about Laura Marling is the precocity of moving to London at sixteen paired with the staying power that followed. Winning Best British Female Solo Artist in 2011 and earning repeated nominations afterward proves she refused to be a one-off, instead deepening her folk craft while trends shifted around her. A guitar-led songwriter who later reached toward film directing signals a restless, genuine curiosity I find irresistible. There is a calm, spine-straight quality to her presence, the kind of artist who works on you slowly rather than loudly. For me she is one of folk's most quietly substantial voices.
