Lianne La Havas, whose self-titled new album is out tomorrow on Nonesuch in the US and who gave a live concert from the Roundhouse in London last night, performed a few songs from home for Minneapolis Public Radio's The Current and spoke with host Sean McPherson about the new album and more. You can watch the full session, including her performance of "Courage" and "Bittersweet" from Lianne La Havas and "Green & Gold" from her 2015 album Blood, and her conversation with McPherson, below.

"I wanted to leave things in their most natural state," she says of recording the new album. "I feel like I can hear when something has gone too far or something is too produced for my taste. And I think my style of production on this album is definitely a more natural approach, or the more kind of haphazard, use-what-you've-got-there, DIY approach. But of course, we used some amazing equipment!"
