Soulful British star returns to the festival with a new look and new material.

In 2019, Laura Mvula performed in Prague for the first time at Strings of Autumn. The concert, which saw Mvula and long-time arranger Troy Miller collaborate with the Brno Philharmonic, was one of the highlights of that year's festival. Mvula's soulful, rangy voice, jazz-inflected piano playing, and powerful stage presence left many in the audience hungry for more. This year, she comes to Prague Sounds with new material, a new look, and a renewed appetite for live performance.

Since the success of her 2013 debut album Sing to the Moon, Mvula has proved herself a singular artist with an exploratory spirit, often re-casting her songs in wholly new arrangements, whether in band format, with orchestra, or stripped-down to a duo. In February last year, she dropped Under a Pink Moon a powerful streamed video performance featuring songs from her upcoming album Pink Noise alongside bold re-imaginings of earlier hits such as Green Garden and Show Me Love. The film revealed yet another side to this remarkable artist: stylised and experimental, it saw her re-inventing '80s synth-pop for the 21st century: sophisticated songs cleverly arranged by Miller, packing an emotional punch and sung with fierce conviction.
