When English singer/songwriter Lucy Rose began performing publicly as a young adult in the late 2000s, her fragile, emotive acoustic songs soon drew comparisons to Laura Marling, with whom she shares influences such as Joni Mitchell and Neil Young. After changing up her sound from the gentle folk-rock of her 2012 debut, Like I Used To, to adult pop with conspicuous electronics on 2015's Work It Out, she settled into a more intimate sound with textured acoustic arrangements well-suited to her soft, breathy voice on albums such as 2019's No Words Left. ~ Marcy Donelson
