Laura Mvula: That's Alright - Music [video]

I would not like to post two videos up in one week but I am loving this song by Laura Mvula. It has become my song of the summer. Not only is she a pretty, dark girl but her music is funny, empowering and uplifting. So often we see music being demeaning to women but it is so refreshing to see a black artist putting out amazing music and an artistic video.

Check out the video below and her website, here
