Laura Marling Semper Femina

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Producer Blake Mills highlights Marling's guitar while adding his own. But her own voice just grows stronger, literally and figuratively..."
"Virgil and Rilke were referenced but, as ever, the gifted singer-songwriter carried her erudition lightly."
"On SEMPER FEMINA, she complements her burnished vocals with a solid display of fingerpicking prowess marked by showers of arpeggios and bluesy notes full of sliding overtones."
5 stars out of 5 -- "SEMPER FEMINA has an intensely personal feel....What's always shone brightest in Marling's music is her Leonard Cohen-like acuity, and that shows no sign of abating here."
Paste (magazine) - "[T]he characters in Marling's songs feel like real people: often restless, frequently viewed from afar and almost uniformly mysterious in their motivations. Few songwriters have written about women quite like this."
Clash (Magazine) - "[M]uch of SEMPER FEMINA finds the songwriter burrowing inwards, an analysis of femininity and womanhood with a profoundly personal edge."
