Jul 31, 2015Lianne La Havas is a breath of fresh air. Her music joyful, poised, and classy, and her strong songwriting -- filled with clever metaphors and allegories -- is anchored by her feathery voice. The whole album floats along effortlessly. Even the bossa nova freakout, "Never Get Enough," is daring without being showy. Blood is a throwback album and a reminder of the simple pleasures in life.

Aug 1, 2015Amazing vocals and lyrics!! This album is really a great evolution from Lianne La Havas. By so far, this is the best of her... Cause wonderful song is on this.
Favorite tracks: "Green & Gold", "Grow" & "Unstoppable". ♥ -
Dec 24, 2015This is a stellar album, very underrated and by far one of 2015's strongest. My favourite tracks are ''Green & Gold'', ''Tokyo'', ''What You Don't Do'' and ''Midnight''.

Aug 17, 2015This Album could have been the normal high quality work of a piano-bar interpret (or a talent show winner). Lianne La Havas however manages to establish her unique singing style, and suddenly the melodies get lots more personality.
It's not very often that we get new pop-streamed songs that sound unlike anything published before, but not too experimental and distorted. -
Aug 31, 2015Blood is the definition of a soulful voice and person. Lianne sophomore album is a grace for everyone 's ears. She manages to express beautiful melodies and good vibes. Well done.

Nov 14, 2015Lianne La Havas has grown up, branched out, written some devastatingly honest songs, and presented a highly competent album. On Blood she largely succeeds in harnessing her instrument to reveal the thoughts within. Big isn’t always better, but it tends towards triumph here.

Jun 26, 2017Not only Lianne La Havas is an amazing singer but she's also an excellent song-writer and guitarist. Blood is an highly underrated album, it's catchy and meaningful at the same time.

Oct 21, 2020Blood has such an enchantment... It's like an portal to a dimension of peace, calm and depth of feelings, where we can rest on the voice of Lianne. I cannot give a score smaller than the maximum. The woman did it, guys!

Aug 3, 2015The feather-light touch of La Havas’s voice can be deceptive; for all her apparent ease, there are sufficient quirks and depths to her writing, not least the scientific analogies on Wonderful (electricity) and Unstoppable (astrophysics).
