laura mvula - little girl blue (ost: 12 years a slave)
with music inspired by the powerful '12 years a slave' film, the john legend curated soundtrack features alicia keys, alabama shakes and a beautiful duet between chris cornell and joy williams (civil wars), but this gently heartbreaking number by laura mvula uses the opening notes of the christmas carol "good king wenceslas" and brings us to a time where this kind of celebration would basically be a young girls pipe dream. throw in laura's jazzy vocals and you've got something incredibly special for the week. just brilliant.

Hi, this is a cover of a Nina Simone version of a Rodgers & Hart song. By the way, I really like your blog - it keeps me up to date on loads of big stuff that other blogs ignore, and you have good taste.
