Laura Mvula Returns w/ A Little Help From Nile Rodgers On "Overcome"

Laura Mvula ft. Nile Rodgers - "Overcome" [Official Video]

Oh it's been some time now since we received something in the way of new sights or sounds from British pop and soul sensation, Laura Mvula. Last we heard from Mvula she had collaborated with Kay & Luke (of The Foundation) on their 2015 lullaby, "The Moon Sings To Me," performing with the mighty ladies of KING before that in San Francisco.

Today, Mvula returns with "Overcome" which finds her teaming with the legendary Nile Rodgers, who brings his supreme hit-making talents to a track that's a little funky, a little-pop-worthy, but wholly her own. It's simple, sweet pop crafts(wo)manship played against a deceptively-triumphant sentiment echoed in the song's chorus (It ain't no time to die/ even though we suffer.) The track comes to us paired with a hypnotic visual, which is available for your eyes and ears down below along with Nile's full stretch of forthcoming tour dates. Hold tight for more from Laura Mvula in the weeks ahead, as we're sure it won't be too long before we finally get that new album announcement.
