Laura Marling has let loose her first snippet of new material since the release of ‘Once I Was An Eagle‘ last year.

The ever prolific songwriter debuted ‘Born To Love‘ along with a cover of Townes Van Zandt‘s ‘Colorado Girl‘ during an NPR eTown session – check out the performance below.

‘Once I Was An Eagle’, Marling’s fourth studio album, handed her a career chart peak of #3 on the UK charts upon its release last May, and was later picked as one of Live4ever’s essentials of 2013.

“Sometimes it’s the words – the aching longing for something easier or bitter remembrances of hurt,” our review noted. “Sometimes it’s the voice, that eerie Marlene Dietrich murmur that lends a cynical, world-weary slant on songs that are coming from a 23 year old woman. By any other standards than her own, these songs would sound conceited, even precocious. But they are her standards. And they are her songs. We can hear it in the music.”
