I ka wā e pili ana i nā mele ʻuhane Pelekane, hoʻomanaʻo ka poʻe hoʻolohe iā Adele a i ʻole Amy Winehouse. Eia naʻe, i kēia manawa ua piʻi kekahi hōkū i ka Olympus, i manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea hoʻokani hoʻohiki maikaʻi loa. Kūʻai koke ʻia nā tikiki no nā ʻaha mele ʻo Lianne La Havas.
ʻO ka wā kamaliʻi a me nā makahiki mua o Leanne La Havas
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Leanne La Havas ma ʻAukake 23, 1989 ma Lākana. ʻO ka makuahine o ke kaikamahine i hana ma ke ʻano he leka uila a no Jamaican kumu. Ua hana ʻo Pāpā (Greek) ma ke ʻano he kaʻa kaʻa. Na ka makua kāne i aʻo i kāna kaikamahine e hoʻokani i nā mea kani like ʻole, ʻoiai ʻo ia iho he mea hoʻokani pila.
I ka wā i lawe ai ke kaikamahine i ke mele, ua lawe ʻo ia i ka inoa Helene o kona makuakāne. Ua hoʻololi iki au a loaʻa iaʻu ka pseudonym La Havas. Akā, mai noʻonoʻo ʻo ka makuakāne wale nō ka mea i kōkua i ke mele mele o Leanne.
Hoʻolohe pinepine ka makuahine o ke kaikamahine iā Jill Scott lāua ʻo Mary Jane Blige i nā mele ma ka home. ʻO nā ʻono mele like ʻole o nā mākua i hoʻoikaika nui i ke ʻano o ka mea mele.
I ka makahiki 7 o ke kaikamahine, ua hāʻawi kona makuakāne iā ia i kahi synthesizer liʻiliʻi. Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Leanne ʻōpio i ke mele a i ka makahiki 11 ua haku ʻo ia i kāna mele mua. Mahalo i ka hana koʻikoʻi a me nā wikiō YouTube, i ka makahiki 18, ua haku kūʻokoʻa ke kaikamahine i ka guitar.
ʻOiai i kona wā kamaliʻi, ua uhi ʻia nā paia a pau o ka lumi o ke kaikamahine me nā kiʻi o kāna mau kiʻi. Ma waena o lākou ʻo Eminem, Red Hot Chili Peppers a me Busta Rhymes. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ua haʻalele nā mākua o ke kaikamahine i ka makahiki 2 wale nō. ʻO ka hapa nui o ka manawa, noho ʻo Leanne me kona mau kūpuna.
I ka piha ʻana o ka mea kaulana i ka wā e hiki mai ana he 18, ua hele ʻo ia i ke kulanui e aʻo i ke kiʻi. Eia naʻe, me ka pau ʻole o kāna aʻo ʻana, ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia e haʻalele i kāna aʻo ʻana i mea e hoʻolaʻa iā ia iho i ke mele.
ʻO nā hana mua ma ke mele Lianne La Havas
Ua hiki iā Leanne ke loaʻa kahi paʻa i ka honua o ke mele no kāna hoaaloha. He haumāna ia ma ke kula kiʻekiʻe o London School of Art. He ʻāpana hoʻi ʻo ia i kahi hui o nā mea hoʻokani pila i kōkua i ka mea mele e hoʻopaʻa i kāna mau demo mua.
Ua hoʻolauna aku ka hoa hoʻokahi i ka mea hoʻokani mele i ka hōkū Paloma Faith, nāna i lawe iā Leanne iā ia ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokani pila.
Ma ka pae i hoʻokō ʻia ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokani leo hope, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Leanne ʻaʻole e hoʻōki a hoʻomau i ka ʻino i ka pūnaewele kaiapuni honua MySpace. A ʻaʻole makehewa, mahalo ʻia ʻo MySpace i ʻike ʻia ka mea hoʻokani talenti 19 makahiki e kekahi o nā luna o Warner Music.
ʻO nā hana mua a Lianne La Havas
I ka makahiki 2010, ua kau inoa ka mea mele i kahi kuikahi me Warner Bros. Hoʻopaʻa a hoʻomaka e hana i kā lākou album mua. Ma kahi o hoʻokahi makahiki, ua haku ka mea mele i nā mele a i ka hāʻule o 2011 ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻelua mini-albums.
ʻO ka mea mua i kapa ʻia ʻo Lost & Found, ʻo ka lua, he hana ola, ua kapa ʻia ʻo Live From LA. Ma hope koke iho o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ʻelua mau mele liʻiliʻi, ua hele ke kaikamahine i ka huakaʻi, e ʻōlelo ana ma ke ʻano he hana wehe no ka hui indie folk ʻAmelika ʻo Bon Iver.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album studio hoʻomaka i ke kauwela o 2012 ma lalo o ke poʻo inoa ʻo Is Your Love Big Enough?. ʻO ka album, i loaʻa nā mele he 12, ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia e nā mea pā a me nā mea hoʻohewa like.
Ua lawa anei kou aloha? Ua paʻa paʻa i ke kūlana 1 ma ka US Billboard Top Heatseekers Albums. Eia kekahi, e like me iTunes, ua ʻike ʻia ka album ʻo ia ka moʻolelo o ka makahiki.
ʻO ka album ʻelua a me ka ʻōlelo aʻo mai Prince
I kekahi mau makahiki ma hope o ke mele mele lanakila, ua hui ʻo Leanne me ka mea hoʻokani mele ʻo Prince ma ke keena hoʻopaʻa leo. Ma hope iki, hoʻopili hou ka mea hoʻokani i ke kaikamahine a kono iā ia i ka hui. A laila hāʻawi ʻo ia e pāʻani i kahi mini-concert ma kona hale.
Ua lilo ʻo Prince i ʻano kumu aʻoaʻo no ka ʻōpio Leanne. Ua pili pinepine lākou. ʻO ia ka mea nāna i aʻo i ke kaikamahine ʻaʻole e alualu i nā ʻano, akā e hana i kāna makemake. Eia kekahi, ua hoihoi nui ka mea hoʻokani pila i ka hana a ka mea mele a ua hāʻawi pilikino ʻo ia i kāna hoʻolaha ʻana i ka ʻoihana mele.
Malia paha ua hoʻolohe ka mea mele i ka manaʻo o kahi kumu aʻoaʻo ʻoi aku ka ʻike, no ka mea, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia kāna album lua, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma 2015, ma ke ʻano neo-soul.
ʻO ka album ʻelua (e like me ka mea mua) ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia e ka lehulehu a loaʻa nā makana he nui. I ka makahiki 2017, ua koho ʻia ʻo Leanne no kahi makana i ka Best Solo Artist nomination. Akā naʻe, ua loaʻa ka makana i kekahi mea mele.
ʻO ka make ʻana o ke Aliʻi i hoʻopūʻiwa i ke kaikamahine, ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hoʻomaopopo i ka mea i hana ʻia no ka manawa lōʻihi a manaʻo ʻo ia he hewa a he pono ʻole.
ʻO ka hōʻino racist e pili ana iā Lianne La Havas
ʻAʻoleʻo 2017 wale nō i hoʻonele i ke kaikamahine i ke poʻo o ka mea hoʻokani maikaʻi loa, akā ua huki pūʻo ia iā ia i loko o kahi hōʻino kiʻekiʻe e pili ana i ka racism.
Ua ʻike ka nui o nā mea hoʻokani mele he keʻokeʻo nā mea i koho ʻia. Ua hoʻokumu lākou i kahi hashtag ma ka Pūnaewele e kākoʻo i ka poʻe ʻeleʻele.
Ua manaʻo ke kaikamahine he hōʻike kēia o ka racism i ka poʻe keʻokeʻo a noi ʻole e haʻi iā ia ma nā pou me kahi hashtag. Ua paʻi koke ka huhū o ka inaina a me ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i ka racism iā Leanne. ʻOiai ua kala mai ke kaikamahine, ʻaʻole i emi ka nalu no ka manawa lōʻihi.
ʻO ke ʻano o ka mea mele ʻo Lianne La Havas
Ma hope o ka hōʻino, ua hele ʻo Leanne i ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, kahi i hoʻomaka ai e nānā i nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni a heluhelu i nā puke e pili ana i ka racism. Mai ia manawa, ua pau ka hilahila o ke kaikamahine i ka lauoho lauoho mānoanoa, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hoʻāʻo e hoʻoponopono.
I nā lole, makemake ka mea mele e hoʻokolohua a lawe i nā pilikia. Ma ke kahua, hiki iā ia ke komo i nā mea ʻālohilohi, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me nā sequins a i ʻole sequins. Makemake nui ke kaikamahine i nā pālule wāwae kiʻekiʻe a me nā pālule paʻa pihi.
Ke hana nei kekahi o kāna mau hoa pili ma ke ʻano he stylist. Ma waena o kāna mau mea kūʻai aku, ma waho aʻe o nā mea hoʻokani pila, aia kekahi mau mea hoʻokani Oscar-lanakila.
ʻO kēia a me ke kolu album
I kēia mau lā, ua paʻakikī ka mea mele ma kāna album studio ʻekolu. A i kekahi mau lā i hala aku nei, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ke kolu o ka album ʻo Lianne La Havas.
He 12 mau mele mai ke kekona mua loa i uhi ʻia i loko o kahi uhi paʻa o ka lewa a me ka ʻehu kani. Ma kēlā me kēia mele, kamaʻilio ka mea mele no ke aloha, ka hoʻokaʻawale a me ka hakakā no ke aloha. Ma waho aʻe o kā lākou mau mele ponoʻī, aia i loko o ka album kahi uhi uhi o ka hit o ka band Radiohead.
