“OVERCOME”
FEATURING NILE RODGERS Since catapulting into the limelight with her critically acclaimed debut album ‘Sing To The Moon’and touring the world, British songstress Laura Mvula is back with new single “Overcome.” Featuring the legendary Nile Rodgers, the new single is available now HERE. Fans can also view the “stunning” video for the single, as dubbed by FADER, HERE.  It’s rare to come across an artist with such undeniable uniqueness and music so lyrically poetic that it simply speaks for itself.
 When your heart is broken down
And your head don’t reach the sky
Take your broken wings and fly

When your head is heavy, low
And the tears they keep falling
Take your broken feet and run

With the world upon your shoulders
Nowhere left to hide
Keep your head up carry on

It ain’t no time to die
Even though we suffer
Come together we pray
Produced By Troy Miller who has worked with the likes of Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson and Rumer, and co-produced by Laura, “Overcome” sees Laura in a new found light - still reflecting her distinctive signature sound but showing the progression of an artist who has come in to her own. Having formed a friendship through their love of music and each other’s work, Laura initially sent Nile the first version of “Overcome” and he loved it so much he asked to add some of his magic to the final version. Combining Nile’s upbeat sounds with Laura’s characteristic thrilling harmonies layered beneath stunning tribal beats may come as a surprise to many, but the final product is a true testament to both artists’ musical talents and a clear development from Laura’s debut album.
