Laura Marling is pleased to share a beautiful new video for the track, ‘Fortune’, watch HERE. ‘Fortune’ is lifted from Laura’s recent album, Song For Our Daughter, which today made the 2020 Mercury Prize Shortlist (with only 12 other candidates), marking Laura’s fourth nomination to date.
Commenting on the record’s nomination, Laura said: “Releasing the record as the world turned itself upside down felt quite disconcerting. It still feels odd now, but in what has been such an unusual year, this comes as a nice surprise. Am also very pleased to be joining the ‘four timers’ club.”

Laura Marling’s exquisite seventh album arrived back in April almost without pre-amble or warning in the midst of uncharted global chaos, and yet instantly and tenderly offered a sense of purpose, clarity and calm. As a balm for the soul, the full-blooded new collection could be posited as Laura’s richest and finest to date, but in truth it’s another incredibly fine record by a British artist who has made a career long penchant for delivering incredibly fine records.
Returning to the studio to work alongside engineer/producer Dom Monks and Ethan Johns (Once I Was An Eagle, A Creature I Don’t Know, I Speak Because I Can), Laura has layered in lush string arrangements and a broad sense of scale to these songs without losing any of the intimacy or reverence we’ve come to anticipate from this universally acclaimed musician over the past decade.
An artist of genuine distinction, Laura Marling offered a flicker of joy and some warmth in an otherwise tough, bleak year. Song For Our Daughter won’t be defined by the exterior factors it arrived into, but by its joy, its humanity, and by the strange sense of unity it provoked right when we needed it most. An excellent record then; file it next to all her others.
The album is available to stream/download now (or) pre-order physically HERE.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
