‘Lianne La Havas’ is ten tracks long, and will be released July 17. It will be the third album by the London singer and guitarist. It will also be her first full-length release in five years, following 2015’s ‘Blood’.

Coinciding with the announcement, La Havas has shared a new single titled ‘Paper Thin’. Listen to the track below:

‘Paper Thin’ is the second track La Havas has released from the forthcoming album after she shared lead single ‘Bittersweet’ back in February.

Speaking to Apple Music’s Zane Lowe for New Music Daily, the singer said ‘Paper Thin’ was a result of a collaboration with drummer Homer Steinweiss at his New York studio.

“I did it and I remember thinking, ‘This is how I want to sound. This is how I sound.’ I love how minimal it is,” La Havas explained.







La Havas also explained the half-decade gap between her new album and ‘Blood’ during the interview.

“Wanting to make a complete piece of work that meant something that had a story just took a little bit of time,” she said.

“It’s not planned, I just wanted it to be right, and then I finally felt it was ready.”

The tracklist for ‘Lianne La Havas’ is:

1. ‘Bittersweet’
2. ‘Read My Mind’
3. ‘Green Papaya’
4. ‘Can’t Fight’
5. ‘Paper Thin’
